We have had a couple of worrying evenings driving around, looking for a hotel, so now we book hotel on route. Depending on our route, we either stay in Clermont Ferrand of Bordeaux

You can do it without booking, but for peace of mind better to book. Both times we almost got caught out was a Friday or Saturday night

Would echo the recomendation of stopping at Macon. We tend to use Cmpanile hotels, which although a little more expensive, are more to our taste. We nnormally prebook these.

We have also camped overnight at the Municipal site at Macon which was good, however that was several years back!

Hi

I note in your original post you say you will be travelling to Northern Spain - the Basque coastline while very beautiful can have weather similar to Cornwall in the summer so be prepared for wet weather there - thats why its so green.

if you want sunshine go to the med. - the area round Rosas and St Pere Pescador can be windy but the beaches are excellent

If you prebook a hotel half way you can take advantage of special offers e.g. 20 days in advance 20% off - makes the mid range hotels nearly as cheap as the budget ones. If you want a quiet night be sure to check the location as most chain hotels are next to busy roads in france
