Gourmet dining (accommodation) - France

[Thejoybringer]

Interesting. I would advocate something similar in France but self serve. All you need is the Logis website, a bit of imagination and a Navigation App.
Never ridden in Spain so can’t comment but am in France 2-3 times a year and the prices normally come in around €100 for accomodation and around €40-60 for the Logis Top restaurant rating for a 3-4 course menu
Of course not guided… more DIY

Gourmet and France in the same sentence….oh how we laughed

We've ridden and driven in Spain a lot and while we tend to favour Paradores, which (almost) all have decent restaurants, we've eaten elsewhere a fair bit too.

While I can't pretend to have done any proper comparisons, I'd say Spanish restaurants are in general a fair bit cheaper. Lots of restaurants advertise their Menu del Dia and even in tourist traps these can be had for well under E20, and often include a basic drink too. It won't be fancy food, but it will be decent enough.

I'd definitely bank on being able to eat a decent three course meal for two with a bottle of Cava for E80.

We budget on a Parador being E300 a night for room, breakfast and dinner. But they are a cut above your average Logis hotel in France. And breakfast will be a much bigger meal than a French hotel, so you don't need lunch.

EDIT: Can anyone tell me how to get the Euro sign on my Windows laptop?
