Any ideas for an holiday stay en France

[5yearstobuyatvr]

Thinking of visiting France this year with the chim. We did Normandy and Brittany In 2006,have also done Beaune/Burgundy and the french alps a long time ago,Our holiday period is tied to Aug 8 to 18th any ideas or suggestions on accomodation, just the two of us.We enjoy the countryside, small villages, good food etc, in otherwords a bit like North Yorkshire but en France!

The languedoc is amazaing, great climate, many great routes, the best fish food, great time for village fetes, what else would you wish for.

Thats great thanks, Will look out for a place to stay on the Chez Nous website. Nice looking car by the way,One of the faster ones!

Do the Gorges du Tarn and Cevennes.
Stunning scenery, food and roads.
Cheaper than the coast and sooooooooooooo French

Hello, may I suggest an unashamed plug of our Chateau in the Loire Valley. Not only is it a nice place to stay but the region has many glorious sites and gastronomic specialities galore.
I have only ever seen one speed camera in our area so the long straight roads or twisty forest roads are a drivers dream!

Thanks Jason,Our First choice was the Loire Valley, then I thought lets go further south around the Languedoc region but the distance/time available and cost of getting there loses some of its appeal,will have a chat with my wife about it,

Glad you made it back ok. I hope things are ok at your end? Pleasure to have you both here and I hope we see you back here soon to pick up where you left off.

With a comment such as "like North Yorkshire"... The only place to go is Brittany but you've already done it...


If you're ready for something a little expensive, I'd advise to go down to Orlean and follow the Loire down to Nantes staying in a different "Relais Chateau" hotel every night... In Saumur, there is one which is "Troglodite" (Cave house)....

Jason, we are travelling from Montcoco ( near Argenton sur Creuse) up to Fontainebleau over the Easter break, we will pop in, if that's ok, for a look at the Chateau on the way up....
