We stayed in some cute b&bs in the countryside. They were good deals, all costing between $70 to $100 CAD per night, and there was so much character in these places compared to your usual hotel.
Chez Maison Bleue, in Sonnac-sur-l'Hers, with a population of 150. We went for a walk around the whole village which took about ten minutes. Our bed and breakfast was in the main square of the village (beside the church)!
La Gallinette, in Villedubert (close to Carcassonne), was so pretty and full of little details. I would have loved to stay there more than one night. Sure, it was a bit girly, but you would not believe all the touches they had throughout their whole property. It was very Pinterest worthy.
Finally, we stayed in Domaine de Blancardy for three nights in the Cevennes. It is a working winery, and we enjoyed breakfast and dinner there everyday. Duck, foie gras, and wine sure make for some rich French meals! It was the cheapest one of our accommodations during our whole trip, costing a mere $70 per night, but I suspect it is because it is literally in the middle of the mountains, with no other buildings in sight.
All your accommodations sound so cool. I'd love to stay at an "agriturismo" someday in Tuscany or France!
