Hi, if you're still looking for a villa in France, we have a cluster of 5 kids friendly rentals in Charente Maritime (very sunny but not too hot) with a solar heated swimming pool. You can choose 3 people to 10/12 people accomodation, if you'd like to come with firends or family. We're 1hour from Bordeaux and 35 mn from the beautiful sandy beaches around Royan.
Once a week I propose kids a craft session and to parents, an aperitive buffet to taste local products (Cognac, Pineau, melon, goat cheese and sausages) and to talk about all the places of interest around, there are so many.
All our rentals are specially equipped to accomodate families with toddlers so you can travel light! And in summer there are low cost flights to Bordeaux or La Rochelle several times a week.
if you're interested, have a look at our English speaking website:[url]http://www.lesgitesdugrandtilleul.com/en/index.html[/url]
Come and share with us Charente Maritime dolce vita! :)

If you are interested in further afield, I can recommend this villa in the Caribbean

It's absolutely stunning location.

Hello

We have two stunning villas which are both located in the South of France and are beachside. You literally walk two minutes onto a glorious sandy beach with restaurants along it. The villa has a private garden and swimming pool and has five bedrooms, a cinema room, gym and the use of the villas watersport equipment.

The two villas are right next door to each other so can be booked together.

I have added links to the villas below. They do get booked up very quickly for the summer months.

Have you found your house? let me know if i can help
Please note that cote azur (south east of France) is crowded in Summer. you'll have to pay for carpark to go to the beach and it's quite hot too.

Hi All

Im starting to look for a villa to rent in France for July or August next year and am a little at sea with all the choices?

I don't know the coastal areas of France that well so am hoping someone will have a suggestion? We are looking for a villa with pool with about 5 or 6 bedrooms (likely to be 2 or 3 families sharing), relatively close to the sea and driveable with small kids.

Any ideas as to region or companies to look at would be HUGELY appreciated! Budget isn't pop-star levels but am hoping should be sufficient!

Many thanks in advance!!
