Starting and Running a B and B in France

Deborah Hunt and her husband have been running a B&B in France for ten years. An architect by profession, Deborah was familiar with the demands of renovating and converting a property, but she and her husband had no experience of the hotel trade - they had to learn as they went along. Deborah's aim in writing this book is to pass on her own experience of running a successful and profitable B&B in France, and make is easier for you to set up your own successful business.
