Here is another site that describes tour companies and costs:

I also run a boutique tour company. Unfortunately, I offer no road bike tours in Nov/Dec. My site is http://www.farandawaycycling.com. However I would be happy to help you in anyway I can.

I had a look at your website and your prices seem pretty good. Not our cup of tea as we like to set our own pace, but everyone is different. When we were in France a few weeks ago our costs a day were about 50euro's a day. This included camping, a few espressos, a nice meal in a restuarant with a pichet of wine, pastries and snacks. We would normally eat out for lunch and cook dinner at camp.

You are doing really well to get by with 50 euro's a day even with camping. I just returned from Corsica. You might look at that next time you contemplate France. It's a great place to ride and there are places to camp there. It's not on the "Ride the Road" list, but I am sure it will be if the Blommer's ever go there.

Great to hear that you had fun in Corsica.
All things going well we will be back in France for 2007. Where did you go and what were your costs for Corsica? Where you camping? How long were you there for and what was the weather like.
Cheers
Geoff
