What do you think?

In the little town of Roure, six days into the hike, there is a highly rated hotel/restaurant called Auberge le Robur.


The chef has a michelin star and the food and hotel get great reviews on tripadvisor. Click here to see the reviews. The question is, do we want to splurge on a special meal (and maybe staying in this nicer hotel) on this day? The hiking days in this part of the trip are pretty short, so we would arrive pretty early and wouldn't have to rush away.

Here's the price breakdown:

At the gite we would stay at if we don't stay here--

  • 15 euros per person for the night. 
  • We'd have to get dinner or buy food to make dinner and breakfast. (This is the town where Carrie and I were unable to purchase food except from a little truck that sold pasta and cheese. Doubt we'd have that same problem now.)

At Auberge le Robur--

  • the "tout compris" (total package) includes lodging, dinner, and breakfast for 83 or 93 euros per person
  • or, just dinner ranges from 35-65 euros per person (the meals are fixed price/multi-course)
By the way, the exchange rate right now is about 1 euro = 1 dollar
