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:
