Leaving this coming week for France , Nth Italy and Switzerland. Can anyone help with internet accomodation sites we can use on the way to book accomodation or may be useful for novice travellers. Thanks

This time of year you're not going to need to reserve hotels, just show up. I was in all the places you mention last year about this time and no troubles going without reservations. Not sure what other types of websites you are looking for.

Traveler863 is right - you don't need reservations. I went to google.com and entered bed breakfast france and the first site listed was bed-breakfast-france.com. You can do this with all of your destinations just to give you an idea of some places to stay. Google is the best search engine on the net.
Enjoy your trip!

Thanks for the help. I thought there may be travel accomodation -sites for last minute bookings.

I found another site using google. roomsearch.com
