I was quite proud of never missing a FEB in ten years of Ibis CC tours to Sussex. Nearly fifty breakfasts, though some were prefaced with a can of Lucozade on the way back from the paper shop. The FEBs at the Yelton were fecking grim, too.

Looking through my log from this June & July - prices and places: 35 - Les Voyagers, Montbrun 32 - Hotel d'Parc, Vallon 47 - Hotel Le Mas De La Prairie, Le Vigan 44 - Hotel Astoria, Carcassonne 30 - Prades 45 - St Lary 20 - Hotel Studio, Bordeaux 40 - Auberge Maitre Paul, Murat 45 - Crete Blanche, Val d'Isere 40 - Le Choucas Hotel, Chatel 42 - B&B, La Petite Pierre So, 20 to 47 Euros for a single in a hotel. The hotels in Vallon & Bordeaux were dumps, but the others were decent places. Most included breakfast. None were reserved in advance, all were walk-ins.
