tel. [phone]

www.​vikingrivercruises.​com

This cruise line offers an 8-day cruise from Paris to Normandy and back.

WHEN YOU'RE THERE: LODGING OPTIONS

The lodging offered in major cities in France usually feature hotels. The higher-end hotels will offer breakfast in the restaurant setting or room service for an additional price, while the lower-end hotels will sometimes offer a continental breakfast included with the price of the room. There are some hotels listed in this book that, with advance notice, will either prepare or bring in a gluten-free breakfast for gluten-free customers. Many of these belong to the chains of Marriott and Hilton. Keep in mind that the restaurants in the Marriotts and Hiltons will also serve gluten-free food with advance notice.

There are also a number of all-inclusive Club Med resorts outside of the cities that will provide you with gluten-free food during the entire length of your stay. These are listed below.

The lodging in rural France, however, generally features bed-and-breakfast or chambres d’hôtes. You can also rent a furnished house in the countryside by the week or by the month, called a gite rural. While the latter is useful for celiacs in that they can bring in gluten-free food purchased at food stores, the former, B&Bs, offer very interesting possibilities because there is a multitude of B&B’s that specialize in serving the gluten-free community.

At most of these B&B’s, in addition to a great gluten-free breakfast, you can also get a delicious gluten-free dinner, cooked by and eaten with the owners. These meals are called table d’hote dinners. One B&B, listed in the following pages, even offers a week of gluten-free cooking classes!

The only tricky thing is that hosts of the B&B’s, unlike the hosts in metropolitan hotels are less likely to speak English.

In the “Gluten-Free France by Region” sections you will find information about B&B’s all over France that specialize in gluten-free; these establishments are very highly recommended by fellow celiac travelers. The basic information about these B&B’s is listed on the next page.
