[QUOTE="grayland, post: 356076, member: 3702"] There is a basic difference between the French Gite system and the Spanish albergue system. The Gites are like B&Bs with single beds (usually not bunked) in rooms of 3 to 6 beds. They are often in the owners home. I never saw a huge room of 20-30 bunk beds like Spain. They are very often located in a more isolated area without easy access to bars or restaurants...thus demi-pension is the norm. The price was 35-40 euro a few years ago. The dinners are usually very long with people standing up and talking in French between each course. Makes for a long night if you do not speak French and just want to eat and get some sleep. :) The family often eats with the guests. I did not find the food to be particularly good or bad...nothing special.. I do not recall that breakfast was charged as a separate item. Coffee is often served in the traditional bowl rather than a cup. This is my experience in 2012 and things may have changed. [/QUOTE]
