Any help would be gratefully received. Am pregnant with DC#2, due in Dec. We are hoping to go away at beginning of July (4/5 July) and can't go earlier due to DH's work committments. We have a DS age 2 and want to go somewhere that will have a creche or kids club facility to cater for him so he has others kids to play with and won't get bored. Am happy to go HB or AI - am happy to go anywhere - i just don't want to cook, clean, do laundry and have a few hours to myself each day where i get to relax and unwind.

I can't find anything. Before we went on a sunsail holiday which was excellent but as i am pregnant activities are really out for me and i can't seem to find any other holiday company that offers a kids club for an under 3.

Please help!

Pierre et Vacances do creches for the littlies. We went to Les Restanques de St Tropez a couple of years ago. We were self-catering, but you can buy a half board option and we had cleaning and bed changes twice a week. Great pool complex and short drive to lots of fab beaches. Plenty of restaurants in the near vicinity too. Port Grimaud is the nearest "resort". We went the first 2 weeks in July and it wasn't too busy. St Tropez is really nice - great to wander round the port and look at the yachts.

Thanks - i looked at that but it is over £2000 for self catering and that doesn't include flights. That's a bit steep for a week'd holiday. We were thinking £2000 for a week including travel max.

Thanks Portofino - can I ask how you travelled there? the nearest airport is over 100km away - do you go by taxi? Do taxis have child seats? Did you have to hire a car?

Sorry for so many questions.

If you mean Les Restanques, we drove - as we went for 2 weeks it was more worth it. We stayed nearby (on the beach at Pampelonne) last year but flew to Toulon (about 45 min drive) and hired a car and car seat.
