Poster: A snowHead
|
I am looking for last minute/ bargain availability for our family. We will spend 1st (or second) week in Arc 1950 but then would like an alternative week with sun, heat, a pool, about half an hour from a beach and a dishwasher! (So, hardly any special requirements!!!) We have left it late and the search for last week of July and first week of August is not working...... Have tried Chez Nous, France 1 Call, VFB and holidays wanted. Just wondered if any Snowheads had any suggestions ?

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Alun Williams, we enjoyed a week on a boat on the Canal du Midi a few years ago.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Last year, we preceeded Arc 1950 with a week on a fantastic boat cruising the Rhone. The children were not as entertained as they were with mountain bikes in the mountain! In a few years the canal will be the ideal - (with just my wife and I) though the locks should be good fun for the whole family. Years ago, BC (before children) we had a number of good holidays on the canals in the UK, including 1 way cruises which were great because you didn't cover return ground - so all new pubs and restaurants! (but not a lot of sun) I will search Google for Canal du Midi hire. Do you recall where you hired or any other tips regarding hire?

Crown Blue Line do the Canal du Midi and associated waterways, bases at Narbonne and Beziers. Or you could try camping - Canvas Holidays, Eurocamp, Keycamp. (But Canvas have the best tents!)

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Alun Williams, try Homelidays, Holidaylets, holidaylettings, or Holiday-rentals. There's also French connections. All are private owners, and some of the sites have late deals available.

Thank you. I have found a fabulous week in Provence, inland but with a huge pool. 5 Bed and 5 bathrooms - 1300 euros. 2nd week (maybe plus a couple of days) at Arc 1950.
Big problem finding overnight on the way down so far - everything seems full on 27th.
