B&B is unlikely to provide a familys main income, it can be a very useful additional source. To make more you would probably have to have 5 plus rooms and then you are looking at being more in the region of an auberge and subject to hotel regs. How ever many rooms you have you will not get 100% occupancy, so you need to have a realistic idea of the likely traffic through your establishment. You are likely to get a better rate of occupancy the more rooms you have to offer. Price is area dependant; we charge 45 for a large double en-suite room + brekkers (norm for this area 35 to 45), in south Fr I know they can get 65 upwards for the same thing. 15 to 20 seems to be the going rate for a meal. You should price according to costs especially for the meals; we have found it isnt worth trying to compete with restaurants, you are after all offering a different kind of service. If theyre going to quibble about an extra 5 or so for a home cooked meal, let them go to the resto. In fact here these days they would be lucky to get an evening meal at a resto for less than 20 a head with drinks. If you get the cheap licence for Table d'hote you can serve and charge extra for drinks, and so increase your profit! If you intend to register with Chambre de commerce and if you are seasonal only then you can de-register at the end of the season and re-register each new year. Suze
