I had no idea this situation existed, but the reality sounds like a quality-of-life bad deal! i suppose one can't exactly tote a heater on trains, huh?! no wonder you sigh about the travel in that region...Jadiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09047289412704251708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2394835278337306813.post-58979110422268339262010-02-02T20:40:13.830+01:002010-02-02T20:40:13.830+01:00I've tried those too, but since most are run b...I've tried those too, but since most are run by older French couples, I still run into the no Internet problem. Half the time when I ask them if they have it, they're like "wi what??" and just think I can't speak French!Ksamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05991667611234163617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2394835278337306813.post-49638071708164740632010-02-02T19:09:27.215+01:002010-02-02T19:09:27.215+01:00If you can't stay in a gite, how about a chamb...If you can't stay in a gite, how about a chambre d'hote?

But the problem with gîtes...Yep, of course I have. But the problem with gîtes in Bretagne is that they are all concentrated in the touristy regions (ie. not where my clients are located). And they usually only rent from Saturday to Saturday - though many aren't even available during the winter months because they rent them out long-term from Oct-Apr (like fab & I did). Plus the large majority don't have internet, which I need for work. Not to mention that you have clean them pretty well the morning you leave, & I tend to leave fairly early.Ksamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05991667611234163617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2394835278337306813.post-11689178196634701102010-02-02T05:12:12.589+01:002010-02-02T05:12:12.589+01:00Just a thought - have you considered looking for g...Just a thought - have you considered looking for gîtes when you're traveling for work?A Tankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11081358741196043358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2394835278337306813.post-17951530047347165592010-02-01T23:06:25.039+01:002010-02-01T23:06:25.039+01:00Apparently you have never tried to find a hotel in...Apparently you have never tried to find a hotel in small-town France - or you would know that they are often few and far between (and usually leave a lot to be desired when it comes to creature comforts - such as heating or cleanliness *ahem*).Ksamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05991667611234163617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2394835278337306813.post-10583862768026740602010-02-01T22:01:14.126+01:002010-02-01T22:01:14.126+01:00Think I'd find another hotel....fast.Think I'd find another hotel....fast.Starmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12386841450183061541noreply@blogger.com
