The Logis prices vary wildly depending on quality of accomodation and mostly on location. If you are willing to stay in some really out-of-the-way places, you can get a nice little Logis for less than at the Campanile. I'm not sure you can beat the price of Formula 1 but at least in a Logis you will have your own bathroom and not have 4 rooms sharing!
Type chateau into the Logis search window and there are some very pricey logis in lovely chateaux. Look around a little though and you'll find some real bargains. We stayed in a lovely chateau out in the boonies in the Bordeaux region for next to nothing.
In Brittany we found quite a selection of inexpensive Logis, some on the shore.
You need to get into very tiny towns or even out in the country to keep your prices down. If you are planning to visit larger cities, Logis, like all the others, have higher prices. Where there is demand, there are high prices. Campanile is more in larger cities too. I don't know about Formula 1 but they don't exist in small villages and country towns. They are in cities and by freeways.
It really pays to do a thorough search of the web sites. I like to look for Logis in historic buildings. They are usually really nice and you feel like you've gone back in time. They are small hotels so you usually get to meet and talk to the owners. That's always fun.
The Gites de France mentioned above are also an excellent idea. You have a choice of B&B or self-catering. We like the self catering and usually rent a house for a month. Most of these require you to stay a full week, but check this carefully too because there are some marvelous exceptions. The B&Bs range from overnighters to various time requirements, the most common being three days. These are usually open to negotiation. When we stay a month in one place, we always have gotten a very good discount. It never hurts to ask!
