At the moment there are 17 B&B's and 144 gites registered on www.france-rental.com , the Archant advertising site for B&B and gite owners. 

The price of advertising is £60 + VAT for 1 year (Off Peak Offer - Usual Price £85).

I wonder, is this enormous disparity in numbers of B&B's and gites because:

  1. The relative proportion of owners using Complete France is massively skewed towards gite owners (though the number of threads/posts in the Gite vs. B&B forums sections is not so skewed)

  2. Individual gite owners tend to advertise on more paying sites than do individual B&B owners (I suspect this is true though I have no proof)

  3. The price of advertising on france-rental.com is okay for some gite owners but too high for most B&B owners (many B&B bookings but perhaps only one or two gite bookings required to justify the same amount of advertising expenditure)

  4. Other reasons?

I think you are right with no. 3, a few odd nights booked from a paying advertisment is not like having a week booked in a gite.  The site also does not come up well when I search for bbs in our area,

Advertising bbs is a whole different ball game wouldn't you say ?
