No probs Docket.
Not sure how well you know France so apologies if you know already but our villa (and obviously our neighbour's) is in the Languedoc, in the south. The village is roughly equi-distant between Montpellier and Perpignan.
There are 5 airports within roughly an hour of the villas - Beziers, Montpellier, Perpignan, Carcassonne and Nimes. Alternatively, the TGV goes direct from Paris to Beziers in just over 4 hours, so you can also train it from the UK with eurostar and then on the TGV. The other option is to drive all the way, which is what we always do, as we rather like to indulge in the local wines, and tend to stock the car right up for us to enjoy for the rest of the year!
There is tons to see and do in the area - people often assume the south of France will inevitably mean a beach holiday but in fact, it is very easy to spend a couple of weeks there and never even bother going to the coast, there is so much else to keep you busy! However, the local beaches are gorgeous, with golden white sand, no stones or seaweed and lots of shells to gather and they are scrupulously clean with free parking everywhere - even in August!
We send out a very comprehensive information pack to our guests shortly before departure with all the info they could ever need, plus a big section for people holidaying with young children that give lots of suggestions of places to go that would be perfect (for little boys - the dinosaur park is always popular as the area is very important in paleontology!)
Anyway, have a chat with your other half and so let me know if the villa is of interest to you.
Kind regards
