To explore the Ardèche and share friendly moments with local people, why not journey from village to village and spend a night or two - or even longer - as guests in people's homes.
Some Bed and Breakfasts can provide as many as six rooms.

The overnight rate always includes breakfast – a wonderful way to discover local jams and home-made bread and pastries.

And an ideal moment to plan the day ahead. Your hosts will be happy to guide your choice and suggest visits to make and things to do you will remember for ever.

By prior arrangement, most hosts can provide evening meals for people staying with them.

You are sure to enjoy this family fare, which can reach gastronomic proportions. Savour the sun-filled specialities from the Ardèche.
Evening meals comprise a starter, a main course, cheese, dessert, a drink and coffee.
In addition to the traditional or more original dishes prepared by your hosts, dinner is a good opportunity for discussions, getting to know other people – and learn more about the area and the region.
Hosts who do not provide evening meals will always suggest local restaurants.
Book Bed and Breakfasts rooms directly with the owners. Prior reservation is advisable, particular for long stays and peak periods such as the tourist season.

Gîtes de France is gradually introducing a new label - "Charmance" - for Gîtes de France approved Bed and Breakfast accommodation. The label distinguishes them from all the other kinds of accommodation available.
