We got BEst Western for 79 including breakfast using Otel but was few months ago so might have gone up now.

We are still deciding where to stay in Nice.

Just booked into the BW Piemontese for about £78 per room. Stayed there on the 2007 event and it was quite nice and in a pretty good location.

Hotels booked so far:-

Thurs: Etap Hotel Boulogne s/ mer centre Les Ports (£42)
Fri: Etap Hotel Besançon Centre Gare (£52)
Sat:Holiday Inn Turin City Centre (£92)
Sun: TBA

Went with the Etap options as they seem to be one of the few that do twin rooms!!

Just got to sort the Nice hotel out now, plus finalise the plans for the long drive home.............

Where in Nice is the final location as like to book hotel close staggering distance away if possible.

Has anyone else booked their hotel in Nice yet ?

Was hoping to find that out too before we booked in Nice but it was a challenge in its self to find a hotel that had a room for 3. we booked the 'all seasons' god knows how far this is away from the finish point!! hope it isnt too far as we are quite looking forward to several celebratory beers!!!

Were booked into the Grand Hotel Le Florence, in Nice on the Sunday night, its quite central, but there are taxi's so who cares really! We're also extending the rally a few extra days along the coast, St Tropez sounds like fun!!
