“Sawday’s guides will repay their purchase many times over.” - The Good Book Guide

The thirteenth edition of Sawday's longest running and best-loved Special Places to Stay guide is the most comprehensive to date.

This established guide is indispensable on any trip to France. Over 850 places affords the flexibility that will delight independent travellers - fall in love with a place and stay longer, change your route and stop off somewhere new - all is possible. Special places from all over France are included; tiny mountain hamlets, ski chalets, châteaux, farmhouses, pretty townhouses and pied a terres in the heart of France's vibrant cities.

We visit every place and entries are chosen for their character and setting, hospitable owners, great food and value for money - over 300 of these special places have rooms for €70 or less.
