Like me then -which means what you will have to do in Formule 1 or Etap is book 2 rooms . What we do is me and my daughter sleep in one and my husband sleeps in the other with the 2 boys. You could share the bed with your  1 year old and perhaps have the older one in the bunk above, your husband could share with the 3 year old. Look on their websites to see the bed arrangements- they are a double bed with a bed above. The bunk is quite high- my kids didnt want to go that high- which is why we have to share-also cos mine sleepwalk so wouldnt be safe.

Formule 1 is the cheapest but it means a trip down the corridor in the middle of the night for the toilet. Next price up is Etap with an ensuite. If you visit www.eurapart .com it will show you all the budget chains. You could also consider Fasthotel, Premiere Classe,Villages,B&B.

I believe Bonsai do connecting rooms but are not in every area.

Hi again- have done a bit of research in the ads between Desperate Housewives!

B& B chain in Le Mans for 2 rooms would cost 87 euros plus breakfasts 5.30for adults, 2.80 for children

Quick Palace- 70 E for 2 rooms, breakfasts 5 E each

Premiere Classe comes out tops- ( had to put in random night in August so this wont be accurate) 80E including breakfasts- but this is for 1 double and a triple room with 3 single beds( obviously you would have to split up the adults)- might be better for you than bunks. They seem to have a special baby rate- but they didnt seem to think baby would eat a breakfast!

Got our info from a book at the local libruary on french B&B'S

Try http://www.tuffiere.com halfwayish between Le Mans & Angers.We paid £70 for 2 adults & 3 kids last summer (July) inc evening meal - we were all in one huge room in the converted barn. It was wonderful and I'd highly recommend it.
