| | | | Review by Jayne Anderson from Colchester
The Languedoc-Rousillon district of Fance has the most wonderful and dramatic scenery, all on a very large scale. The gorges and villages are steeped in History and many seemed little changed for hundreds of years. The large number of castles is every small boys dream, we have never seem so many castles in such close proximity. The canal winds through the whole area and you can spend a lazy afternoon under the trees on the canal path watching the boats navigate the water. It really is like stepping back in time. If you visit one of the large cities, however, the pace of life changes considerably. A good contrast is to visit Montpellier with its fantastic tram system, Montpellier has fantastic open spaces and a good art gallery (although the gallery is not altogether that child friendly!). The countryside really is the reason to visit this area and if you pick and choose your visit times and destinations you really can avoid the August crowds.
Review by pascale presumey from burton on trent uk
The lac de Jouarres only 2kms away from Olonzac is a great way of keeping the kids cool in the summer. The water is clean, the area feels very safe with the constant presence of two lifeguards in the summer months, and if the lake itself is too hot, there is plenty of space in the shade of the trees a little bit further up. After a great time playing in the water, don't forget to visit La Guinguette, the local cafe/restaurant which offers twelve flavours of ice creams!
Review by lizzy ali from london
Herault is an area that we find is of outstanding beauty, with hills, mountings, rivers and red soil, you can drive a few miles and the senery changes from fields of sunflowers to vinyards. the wine is excellent and good value for money and the food is always fresh. We never run out of places to visit with our children or adult friends.
Review by Stacey Kennedy from Canterbury
Magalas village is relatively quiet and if all you want from your holiday is time to read a book by the pool and do nothing, then this is your destination. The villagers are generally polite and welcoming

Review by Matthew Allott from Plymouth
The area is very commercial, and also driven for the tourist market. A sad part to see was a large amount of graffiti on signs and bridges. The people are used to foreign visitors, and will normally speak a little english if required. The beaches are very clean. The area is undergoing an extensive redevelopment to, not only roads, but beaches and tourist areas.
Review by member Caddell from Belfast
This villa is on the edge of the small village of Portiragnes. The village had everything we needed for a relaxing holiday. The pool was great for the kids and they made lots of friends. The beautiful beach was only a mile and a half away. Lots of things to do and see in the immediate vacinity no matter what your interests are. We'll definitely return to this area and more than likely to this villa.
