booking hotels the day before Paris - Zurich - mid August

We are planning to rent a car to tour through the country side. We are in no rush and HOPE to book nice hotels as we go. Are we crazy? We are looking at a route through Champagne to Alsace-Lorraine and then on to Zurich and possibly a quick detour to Liechtenstein. We are hoping not to be bound by reservations made a month in advance.





SO: is it difficult to find a good place to stay the day before?





Thanks

In mid August, you will have no problem finding an hotel in Paris, look for promotions and specials as this is low season there.





The opposite will be the case outside of Paris. As you approach resort areas (particularly near water), finding %26quot;nice%26quot; hotels will be difficult at this late date.





It all really depends upon where you are traveling.

I understand the August dilemma...nobody in Paris, everyone near the water. For that reason we thought an inland route might be okay (I outlined the basic route in the OP). We are planning a couple of days in area Caen area, but the rest is really Champagne, Alsace and Zurich...or will these all be filled with Parisians?????





Any other info or tips? Thanks again
