Complex of 5 cottages anywhere in France

Hello, I'm planning a family reunion and we're looking for a needle in a haystack it seems!

We're after a complex gites/cottages somewhere in France. We'll be flying so somewhere within an hour or so of a (low-cost airline) airport, not fixed on specific areas or regions but we have a number of pre-schoolers in the party so it would be good if it was somewhere with days out/things to see to occupy them. We'll rent cars. We will be travelling in May, June or September (outside school hols) if that makes any difference.

There must be 5 cottages and they must all have at least 2 bedrooms. We'd love a pool to share and a communal outdoor garden/eating/drinking area. I've been on countless gite websites but it's really hard to narrow down the search to find a group of gites together.

Does anyone know of anywhere that fits the bill?

Thanks in advance!

We had a family re union a few years ago in Menton in the South of France. Family came from Scotland, Ireland, London & Sth Africa. We took over one complex so was perfect for us.

Nice airport is less than an hours drive so easily assessable to. Only thing, you do need a car as the complex is quite far from Menton.

Overall, we had a fantastic week here & would definitely come here again (although think our next reunion is to be a cruise!
