For example, the source of much of the information on this page is from Wikipedia,

Google, Yahoo, special4u.50megs.com…

On this web page, most references are directly linked to main relevant keywords.

There are many lodging & accommodation reservation and booking sites on the web.

Through many search engines, you can find in each country, both cheap & expensive

solutions for your basic living needs when staying somewhere or when travelling.

From the recreation, travelling, and tourism point of view, considering the

World Tourism Rankings, it is interesting to see the result of a combination of

“destination access”, “accommodation standard”, and “food-beverage reputation”.

Main stream trend among tourist regions and resorts is, by the beginning of this millennium,

“Europe first by far, and still going slowly strong”,

“The Americas second, with the Latin countries as the fastest growing potential”,

“Asia third with China and India growing fastest,

followed by Japan, Korea, Vietnam, and South East Asia”,

“The Atlantic Islands, and The West Indies, could do much better with real low-cost flights”,

“The Indian Ocean, Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific, business as usual,

would be unusual with much cheaper flights”,

“North Africa, North of the Sahara would be much better with improved road quality”,

“Sri Lanka, could solve its internal problems”,

“Africa, South of the Sahara, facing many problems”.

Interesting to see what Airbus 380 can do about that, if no major problem or crash happens.

In Europe, in FRANCE for example, still world’s absolute nr 1 in tourism, you can search

for the cheap accommodation and lodging solutions on the web by using keywords such as:

Travel backpacking, wilderness backpacking, auberges de jeunesse (youth hostels), gîtes,

gîtes ruraux, hebergement à la ferme, camping à la ferme, logis à la ferme, ferme auberge,

chambre d’hôte, chambres d’hôtes, table d’hôte, camping… Using these keywords will lead

you to websites and addresses for countryside and holiday lodging, often with

bed and breakfast, breakfast included or not, with meals or not, with low-cost, budget price…

but not always cheapest!

Cheap international hotel solutions can be hotel chains as Accor Hotels at

http://www.accorhotels.com or http://www.hotelsformule1.com.

A low travel cost calculation can be based on these FORMULE 1 prices, because

bedrooms can be shared by 3 persons for the same price per room,

but not in every European country.

For holidays, keywords such as location vacances present many low-cost, budget, and

high-price sites.

Many low-cost lodging, budget accommodation, middle category, and luxury hotel names

can be found on the internet at Google for instance, by searching hotel booking Europe.

The different de luxe, grand luxe… classes can be found at

Routes Historiques - Châteaux, Hauts Lieux, Monuments, Abbayes, Jardins

Châteaux Hôtels, Gault-Millau, Le Bottin Gourmand, viamichelin.com...

Many Hotels are given from 1 star up to 5 stars depending on which class they belong.

“Information tourisme”, “Tourisme Information”, “Information touristique”, “Office du

or de tourisme”, and “Syndicat d´inintiative” are the most common names for the

tourist, traveller, transport, and communication information places, often located in

the centre of cities and towns, near the railway or bus central stations or hubs, at the

airport or harbour.

They are marked with a blue or green sign and the letter “i” in white, yellow, red, black...

These information offices know always everything about hotels, accommodation, lodging

for the short or longer time, restaurants, food places, entertainment, events, travel, and

communication possibilities, at least in their neighbourhood or surroundings .

For lodging and accommodation on a more permanent basis than just as a tourist, there

will be the same usual non-written practice as anywhere else, and which can be summarized

in a few keywords:

money, argent, ethnicity, ethnie, social group, groupe social ou stratification sociale,

personal contacts, and not seldom very personal, whether female or male such ones,

contacts personnels, et pas rarement très personnels, qu’ils soient féminins ou masculins.

Here are some tips for starting a search for housing, lodging, accommodation, apartment,

flat, partage appartement, logement étudiant, co-location, roommates, flat share, room share,

For students, les resto U, student restaurants, have a central importance in their

lives, not only for eating at low cost, but as a place where socialising, exchanging

information, informal communication, political and sports activity info, discos, concerts,

accommodation, rooms, chambres, lodging, jobs, emplois, petits boulots,

buy and sell stuff, travel, what’s on and in… occur in a more or less un-organised way.

There is always a visible notice - bulletin board, tableau - panneau d’affichage,

schwarzes Brett, prikbord, cartelera, , anslasgtavla, for completing the

multiple available internet info, bureaux, agences… for students.

Most regular students, once registered in a school, a university, an institution, are suggested

solutions for student lodging, accommodation, rooms, shared rooms, apartments, and flats

through their study place and student corporations, associations étudiantes.

The cheapest bed and food places won’t be in any travel or tourist website or guide book.

A still clean double room can be found for 40 to 50 € in Paris, may be less “en province”;

a sandwich or “panino” or “panette” or “veggie” or “diabetic” or “ciabatta” for 1,5 to 3 €;

a pizza for 3 to 4 €; a hamburger for 3 to 4 €; a bread baguette from about 0,5 €;

a camembert from 1,5 € or more; a litre of bottled mineral water or fruit juice from 1,5 €;

a bottle of drinkable “vin de table”, or “cidre”, or “bière”, “bière”, for at least 1,5 € …

Fast food Junk food Food porn

For eating, not necessarily cheapest but perhaps healthiest, buying fresh food on a

market place, marché, and eating at home or outdoors, or cooking yourself, or for

family or friends, might be a good way.

PORTAL FOOD Portail Gastronomie

For cooking at home, one of the best food sites is probably the Russian and English

“COOKERY ART” at http://cookbook.rin.ru, click on English, with much Recipes,

Vegetarian dishes, Children's dishes, Exotic dishes, Erotic meal, Dietary cookery,

Quick & easy, Holiday menu, Microwave cooking, Grilling & barbecuing,

Recipes from visitors, and with a great directory for

Cuisines from more than 40 different nationalities,

by courtesy of the Russian Information Network ( an excellent site! )

Typical traditional French cuisine restaurant in the most cosmopolitan atmosphere

in France, is the low and budget rates of the one place not to miss in Paris, chez Chartier,

7 rue du Faubourg Montmartre, 9e, Métro Grands Boulevards, with youth, students, tourists,

middle class, and socialites who want to feel the pulse of popular lunching down town.

For some other special places among thousand, check for example Le Procope, since A.D.

1686, 13 rue de l’Ancienne Comédie, 6e, Métro Odéon, and sit at tables where Voltaire,

Rousseau, Diderot, Danton, Marat, Robespierre, Benjamin Franklin… were having lunch

or diner; Les Deux Magots, Le Flore, La Brasserie Lipp, Métro Saint Germain des Prés, and

have a café at some of Jean Paul Sartre’s place.

Interesting is l’Oenothèque, 20 rue Saint Lazare, 9e, Métro Saint Lazare, oeno meaning wine

in Greek, a place for wine tasting, 40 € at least for a menu. For Wine and Champagne

connoisseurs, with à la carte as much French wine as there is cheese in France.

In the whole France, there are restaurants with cooking specialities from the whole world.

For a systematic selection of restaurants, from everyday places (cheapest about 5 to 8 €

2005, depending in which European country, but around 9 to 12 € in Continental Western

Europe),

up to places with 1, 2, or 3 STARS, as for example TAILLEVENT - since A.D. 1379

at http://www.taillevent.com with a tradition established during the Middle Ages - click on

"English", "a bit of history", "memories", "Salvador Dali", or on "Enfants de Cuisine" (to see

the hierarchy of the cooking art), check tourist guides and websites as for example:

http://www.viamichelin.com

Guide MICHELIN = Guide ROUGE – Since A.D. 1900

http://www-unix.oit.umass.edu/~fren572/michelin.html

Michelin Restaurants Guide

http://www.michelinrestaurantsguide.com

http://www.michelinrestaurantsguide.com/michelin-restaurants-star-guide.asp

Taillevent has lost a star 2007! Interesting to see the development of this

French cuisine revolution!

Michelin Rubber tradition in Clermont-Ferrand, France - Since A.D. 1829

http://www.michelin.com/portail/portail/index.jsp

La Tour d’argent dropped from 3 to 1 star but is still La Tour d’argent since 1582, 1582.

Canard challans - Pressed duck, and the scenery over Les Quais de la Seine and Notre Dame.

Cave with 500000 bottles of top wines and liquors.

Be critical when selecting RESTAURANTS with STARS, by for example reading articles as

http://www-unix.oit.umass.edu/~fren572/michelin.html About Michelin 3 Stars or

or emailing to ANDY HAILER´s excellent site: http://www.homestead.com/andyhayler

See a list of restaurants with Michelin 3 stars, Michelin 2 and 1 stars at Wiki. There is also

much critic and polemics about these famous stars, who give and withdraw them, how, and

why, the secrets, the mystery, some say even the rites or intrigues around them!

The “Guide Michelin” at viamichelin.com on the internet remains the reference “bible” of the

French cooking art, but nowadays people have also discovered other “holy” guide books,

guides touristiques, guides gatronomiques, cookbooks, livres de recettes de cuisine..., as

Gault-Millau, Le Bottin Gourmand, Larousse Gastronomique..., other excellent non-French

national, regional, and exotic food as tasty and nutritive as the French cuisine,

La Cuisine française, and other top places than the “temples Michelin”, some as expensive,

but many as good and much cheaper. Many affordable places for the average traveller, tourist,

or student, can have good food and can be very pleasant without any star.

Many won´t be in any guide and not even on the web.

Slow food

Arnold is right, transfat is bad

For “GREEN FOOD” advice about the real healthy, “green”, organic, "ecologique",

non-polluted, grown without chemical fertilizers, without all the chemical additives you

get at your usual supermarket, meat from animals grown free, fish, shellfish, and seafood

from non-polluted waters and non-fed with chemicals, non-stress, diet, dieting, dietetic,

dietetitian, nutritional, nutritionist, macrobiotic, slim, erotic, exotic, vegetarian, vegan…

as well as for ancient forgoten vegetables, read a site as

http://www.bienmanger.com/2R269_Legumes_Oublies_Welcome_Farm.html

It's the right place for info about "Bien Manger" ("Eating Right", and often “Good” too).

For FISH, SHELLFISH,and SEAFOOD, freshest is often by the sea, lakes, or rivers.

Be always observant and careful with “fresh” seafood, even in the best places!

Have always access to emergency medical assistance, even when travelling!

Here are some examples of excellent places for Fish seafood, Oysters, Huitres.

Similar sites can be searched and selected in many regions and countries.

For good eating, you can also rely on places good for tradition as well as for new trends like

Chaine des Rotisseurs, established A.D. 1248, at http://www.chaine-des-rotisseurs.com

Other traditional FOOD and CHEESE places can be selected and contacted through different

CONFRERIES in Europe, for example France CONFRERIES at http://www.france-confreries.com

for all kinds of food and beverages,

or France FROMAGES at http://www.francefromages.com,

or search for "history of cheese" at http://www.yahoo.com for example.

Among many food writings is the Larousse des Fromages considered by many as basic.

With food and cheese many people drink wine. Among thousands of labels, some

regional and local red, rosé, white, and sparkling wines are selected for tasting by

“brothers” as “Les Chevaliers du tastevin”, the probably most well known of “Confrerie”,

perhaps because of the drinking song “Chevaliers de la Table Ronde” sung in numerous

other “Confreries”, bistros, bistrots, parties...

The probably eldest CONFRERIE BACHIQUE (see Bacchus) or CONFRERIE VINEUSE

(for wine tasting), is the Antico Confrarie de Saint Andiu de la Galinieiro (Beziers, France),

established A.D. 1140, and which can be found at the site Cap Sud, in L’HERAULT department

département, with tradition from the Ancient Greece agricultural and wine producing culture

of the inland regions of the Phocaea colony, around Massalia.

The cult of wine was a part of the life of these people long before the one of the

Hesperides, Dionysus, Eleutherios, Eros, and Bacchus.

The wide spreading of wine producing, storing, and shipping technique occurred later

during the Roman and Christian epochs.

Nowadays, you’ll find these sort of “Confreries” or wine and food “brotherhoods” in most of

food, cheese, wine, and beer producing regions of the world, terroirs, main vineyards and

wineries…

Among many, one food and wine producing region could be representative for the others,

for its location in France, for its more than 300 sunny days a year, not far from the

Mediterranean resorts of the Languedoc coast, close to La Montagne Noire and to

Les Causses splendid isolation, easily accessible by low-cost flights, with aéroclubs and

airfields, autoroutes, A 9, A61, A75, TVG and trains connecting to European Railways, with

Le Canal du Midi and harbours on the coast, but still aside of the main road traffic, not distant

from the Roman Pont du Gard, from the cheese region of Massif Central with the Roquefort,

Cantal, Pelardon, Bleu d'Auvergne, Bleu des Causses, Fourme d'Ambert, Laguiole,

Rocamadour, Saint-Nectaire, Salers, fromages.com

Amidst this prehistoric region, we find the medieval Carcassonne and Montpellier, with

the nearby Perrier waters that both Hannibal and Caesar drunk.

Wine making is also a very old tradition in this region with its many Confreries that can

guide you in making good food and wine choices.
