Au Revoir, Club Med et Bonjour B&Bs!

We had such a fantastic stay at our Club Meds. It's hard to pick a favorite. Vittel was the most impressive architecturally, Opio was probably the most fun and mountainous Valmorel was the most stunning. The weather has been fantastic for us, sunshine every day which is apparently rare in the northeast countryside, even this time of year. Today we headed out from Vittel on our way back to the Burgundy region to our first Bed & Breakfast, which is actually just a room in someone's home. The website AirBnB.com was an invaluable resource for us. Club Med, being all inclusive is, of course, the cheapest way to travel, but we have 4 nights that we are on our own and were lucky that we found out about it. Thanks, Meredith! I researched many properties online before settling on 2 of them. I knew the areas I wanted, the price I was aiming for, and the 2 most important factors were a homeowner who spoke some English, and WiFi. I probably should have included laundry, since we didn't have that option in Vittel, and missed the cutoff time for the laundry room our last night in Opio. Oh well, finding a laundromat in Buxy, France could be an experience in itself...
