Choosing the perfect accommodation is the next step after booking your flight. Everyone seems to flock to the French Riviera during summer, the mountain resorts are packed during winter while cities are preferred locations for vacations during spring. Therefore, booking your accommodation in advance is the best bet to make sure you have where to stay.
There are many types of accommodation in France. Let us explain you about some of them hoping to help you take the best decision.
Hotels
Ranging from budget to luxury, hotels in France tend to be on the pricey side. Careful planning and being willing to stay further from the city centers will ensure cheaper rooms.

Hostels
Not only backpackers flock now to hostels. Since most hostels also offer private rooms, this type of accommodation has become popular among couples and families as well. Considering that the public transport is excellent in all major French towns, it’s easy to choose a hostel located further from the city center, hence saving money on accommodation.

Chambres d’Hotes and Gites
In addition to having a wide variety of hotel and hostel options, France is also home to a huge network of chambre d’hotes and gites, which are bed and breakfast type accommodations. These rooms vary widely depending from town to town and from owner to owner. Sometimes they are separate cabins and or villas, sometimes they are simply rooms in someone’s home. However, no matter what the rooms are like, this is a great option for tourists who want a great place to stay on a budget or those looking for a richer cultural experience. Because chambre d’hotes and gites are usually run by a French family and provide you breakfast and sometimes other meals, they provide tourists with a great opportunity to converse with locals. Rates in these accommodations are also often cheaper than hotels.

Villas and Apartments
Renting villas and apartments in France is very common mostly on the Riviera. A quick search online would give you a huge list of companies and websites which offer such services. Renting a luxury cottage on the Riviera, capable of sleeping 4-8 persons (2 bedrooms) costs between €465 per week during winter and €1365 per week during peak season (July and August). Since most nicer hotels get really expensive in summer, this strategy will usually not only result in a nicer place to sleep, but will also save you money. France holiday rentals do tend to get booked up early, especially the cheaper ones or ones with the best locations, so think well ahead if you are going to do this.
