in Alsace recently, 60 euros got me a single room half board in a small
hotel. 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...

I must admit, the "per person" thing puzzles me. For a meal, for sure.
For a room? A small additional charge for the extra breakfast, by all
means.

Breakfast is almost always charged separately in France anyway, isn't
it?

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.
