We have just returned from an absolutely fantastic two-week stay in Jean-philippe and Maïté's gîte. The house was extremely well equipped, the pool was fabulous, and the garden was a magical place just to relax and hide away. Our hosts were lovely - helpful and easy-going. We loved spending time with their pets too.
Caux itself is beautiful - we particularly appreciated the swooping swifts and swallows, the friendliness of the local people, and the lack of traffic.
There is an enormous amount to see within a short drive. We especially enjoyed Béziers, Villeneuvette and Sète (we were lucky that our stay coincided with the water jousting). Our tour of the Noilly Prat distillery in Marseillan was also a highlight. We tried a range of beaches and can recommend La Tamarissière. Despite feeling that we had seen a great many beautiful and interesting things, we really only scratched the surface, and would love to make a return visit.
Thank you Jean-philippe and Maïté!
Tara and Ronan.
