I think this is one of those super ignorant questions for this group but I've never had occasion to call from home to anyplace outside the US. I want to call from my home phone to the reservation line of one of the Dordogne caves -- and I've done enough research to have the phone number. Am I going to be charged an exorbitant fee or has technology made this a no-brainer? I guess I remember 1968 and being married to a military member stationed in Hawaii and it was $4.95 for three minutes to call my parents in New York. And in 1969, that was a lot of money. Which meant we spoke at Christmas, and sent little tapes back and forth. Anyway, thank you for any info on subject.

Call your local phone company and ask for rates.
Yes, they have come down significantly.
You might also check the website and book online or through email. My last apartment rental in France was paid for using PayPal.
Cheapest is probably to use Skype from your computer - 2c a minute to anywhere in the world.
