For a more gastronomic experience, Hôtel-Restaurants or Hostelleries offer rooms and meals, that can range from simple to extravagant. The Logis de France is a well known network of Hôtel-Restaurants, normally smaller type hotels with an adjoining restaurant.

Useful info such as how to book, how to pay, and getting there.

If you're looking for something small and family run and are interested in local produce and cooking, you could try an Auberge - a rustic-type inn (although sometimes they can be more swanky too) offering room and meals. They tend to be based in the countryside although you'll find them in towns and cities as well.

There are also ferme auberges (farm inns) run by the Bienvenue a la Ferme network. For a farm to be a member, 80% of the ingredients used for cooking must be grown on the farm itself. You can search for a farm with a particular 'theme' such as 'discovery farms', 'educational farms', even hunting farms.

If you need self-catering accommodation, or you're part of a larger group, a gîte can be your home away from home.
