I always use Mercure for overnight stops in France - always reasonable price/quality ratio.

I've driven to Perpignan non stop from Calais before but this year wanted to break the journey over night near Veirzon /Clermont-Ferrand

Any one used F1 before or a similar alternative?

Although widely disseminated I believe this to be a falacy.
I mean - room rates anyone? UK is still very expensive.

If it is just somewhere to get your head down then they are fine. Dont expect anything more than a basic room and service.
F1, etap, Ibis (rates vary).

Formule 1 are OK, bunk bed arrangement double bed below, single above so room for 3. Room has a sink and a TV. Toilets and showers are shared but automatically cleaned after each use. Never had a problem with them.

If you want en suite facilites use Etap Hotel, bit more expensive though.
