Hi Tia :)

much of guessing here as you didn't give us many details. Anyway - if you like bed & breakfast accomodations AND are able to speak french - try Gîtes de France. They are well known for cottages to rent, but they also have great b&bs (called Chambre d'hôte in France). I met only nice people and was very welcome in the families often as solo travelling woman.

(unfortunately the online listings of the b&bs are only in French)
