This was something new that we had done before. It appears that France has an entire network of bed and breakfasts - they're cheap, and they are usually in large older homes that have a lot of character.The place where we stayed was in a small town in Jura (thank God we had the GPS), and it was run by a woman who had basically been restoring this old house next the the Church. The thinking is that at one time this huge house used to be where the monks lived around the 17th century, but it wasn't really an Abbey.
