The French love their pooches and we have a number of options for pet-friendly villas and holiday homes. If your heart is set on a villa that says 'no pets' just give us a call as occasionally an owner can be persuaded. Just remember your doggie won't be allowed in the pool - we have been asked before!

The Atlantic ocean breeze is nature's air-con, besides we all know air-con has a considerable carbon footprint. Average daily temperatures in the mid-to-high 20's mean that you and the kids can get outside in the day time and do some activities together without wilting. And you can sleep comfortably at night...
If you're a larger group or if you like to do a few lengths each morning before tackling the croissants, you will want a decent size pool and in this collection of villas the swimming pool is 12 metres or longer...
