Castellane

[Shinyface]

Just sitting down to plan Sept 14 , a number of us are planning a stay in Castellane for a few nights whilst doing the Route de grande alps.Its a few years since we were in the Alps having been to Spain and Portugal but we fancy a change.
Any recommendations for hotels would be appreciated before I start on the Logis book. Thanks in advance

I stayed over night on the road north post RDGA at this hotel http://www.hotel-du-commerce-verdon.com/form.php

Not cheap as such but a very good hotel and pool.

I'd forgotten that thread
We stayed at du Levant which was ok, nothing more, wouldn't stay there again if I was in the area, the commerce looks nice I would give that a try, great roads in the area and will definitely return at some point, Gorge du Verdon is stunning!

A few in my report from 2011:

Loads to choose from in the region, if in a small group I would lean towards just finding somewhere nice as I go along.

You can probably ditch the Logis book too, the website is pretty handy these days, we only stayed at one Logis at the south end of the Petite St Bernard, it was very good value and nice to stay at a family run Hotel with local food / drink.

Grand hotel in Barcelonnete is good,there is off road secure parking also. There's quite a few logis hotels in the town too. Plenty of decent restaurants and bars
