 Poster: A snowHead

Flights mid-week tend to be cheaper. Any experiences of booking accomodation in french resorts mid-week to mid-week? a lot of the resort brochures price the self-catering weekly Sat-Sat. so i am not sure if they can handle someone arrving mid-week or not staying a week.
I guess you could hotel....

I know that Astrid Immobilier in Flaine will do thursday to Monday in January (20th to 24th) because I've just booked! The price is pro rata on what's available for a week. They speak good English. They are also flexible about arrival times leaving bedding in the apartment and keys in a bar for out of office hours. But N.B. the above flexibility does not extend to high season. Last winter I went into the rental shop with my friend who had already booked flights for February from Friday to Monday and was told in no uncertain terms that this was not possible without booking two weeks or sorting out accomodation for the Friday night separately. Call +33 4 50 90 86 41. Sandrine is very helpful. Cost for the above for a four person apartment is 222 Euros plus 16 Euro booking fee and 16 Euro damage insurance.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

SussexSnow, I'm doing Thursday flights to/from Chambery. 3rd week in January. About 1/2 price of w/end travel and hopefully congestion free. According to Flying Squirrel who's based in Les Arcs there is no way you will get self catering apartments anything other than Sat-Sat. But I'm having some success with a hotel, and the single supplement is also manageable. Lot depends on whether it's a peak period or not. Away from half terms and high days and holidays, most hotels will accept unusual days of arrival / departure.

Sussexsnow, just about everyone prices Sat to Sat, however in Jan you should be able to get a room virtually anywhere. Apart from the last week of jan we could fit you anytime at a pro-rata rate to our weekly price. You would have to meet the cost of a transfer, depending on airport. PM me if you need more details.

Hi Sussex Snow,
I have direct contacts with a small group of property owners who are able to offer their apartments midweek/midweek. I saw on the easyjet site this morning Fri/Fri in March, Stanstead to Grenoble for under £50 return.
I'm based in Alpe d'Huez, so if this might be of interest PM me!!

Thanks for all the replies and the insights and the contacts
I figured off-season might be more fruitful. Work is blocking out much of January so I think I have to look to one of the quieter March weeks. Off to consult the French schools holiday timetable, now
