This seems to be a fairly standard rate across large parts of the EU in auberges. Although, as the SW of France is cluttered up with the English they may be a little more tolerant of higher prices...

No. A demi-pension/half board rate is quite common in small hotels, as TOG usually negotiates. The place I stayed in Alsace, north of Ace's place, was in the middle of nowhere so choosing anything other than demi-p would mean no booze with dinner as you wouldn't be walking. |
