How far ahead of time do you book your hotels?

I book as soon as I have the itinerary lined up and find where I want to stay. I am hesitant to prepay for the stay in the event that my travel plans could change, but otherwise I like the comfort of knowing that everything is lined up.

Many family-operated hotels in smaller villages/towns have closures during the winter months. So, to avoid being disappointed, I usually try to have my hotels booked in the fall for summer travel.

Thank you Jean. By the way, in my searches you have often directed people to articles you've written for bonjourparis.com. I've tried to read them but the links have expired.
Ira, a little jazz combo plays in Cafe Laurent (I believe that's what it's called) in the corner of D'Aubusson. This was where I had my first glass of Sancerre--and oddly the only glass of it I've yet to like.
I checked rates at Relais Christine (knowing it was very nearby). Good grief, it's even higher. Saint Beuve looks very nice for our return at the end of the trip--night before the airport. However, I'm no longer young enough to walk all those extra miles to things I want to see--to spend my first 3 nights there.
