How to find small hotels / cheap rooms in the French Alps in August
I know about booking.com and just started looking at Gîtes de France® (https://www.gites-de-france.com). What are some good ways to find rooms to rent in August? A friend and I will rent motorcycles in Geneva and ride south through the French Alps, Gorge du Verdun, Route des Grandes Alpes, Chamonix, and return to Geneva. Our trip will be from August 15 through August 26. Since this is the height of the tourist season, I want to make reservations.
Our current plan is to stay in most places one night, but I will try to modify the itinerary to make some places a two-night stay. We are not picky about the accommodations and are looking for hotels, B&Bs, or hostels. We do not need Holiday Inn luxury. Other than the two websites I mentioned, what are good ways to find and reserve rooms?
Best Answer
While I agree with the first posted answer, (local tourist information) I myself often look on one of the big hotel booking sites.
You may not find some of the smaller places but they often have a good spread from hostels and b&b's to good hotels.
One of those sites is booking dot com but there are others as well.
