Holiday Resorts in France in general

Newest Review: ... that there was a local fete on that day which centred around the local village school. Although not strictly sure whether we were allowed in we ventured into the grounds of the school. The children were playing all the old fashioned games I used to love so much as a child, little obstacle races, egg and spoon etc. There were litle stalls selling beautiful crafty things and local delicacies. What amused me most was the hook a trout stall. Like our hook a duck but involving live trout in a big tank. Putting aside your feelings for the fish, I just thought how typically rural french. when the children caught a trout it was duly despatched a... more

I have always loved france and from my experience people either love it or hate it. Having recently returned from a short break to the south west region, namely a place called Carcassone I felt I had to recount my little tale which to me epitomises why france and french people are so quirky and fascinating. We had been travelling around Carcassonne and for our last night had booked into a rather swanky chateau on the outskirts of the town.

I noticed that there was a local fete on that day which centred around ... Read the complete review

OK, not saying there is anything wrong with France or anything, well, actually, I am. Without trying to offend, France is the worst place that I have ever been on holiday. After spending 24 hours there I wanted to go home, unfortunately I couldn't. It started off bad really, I always get ill on ferrys. Not just ill but constantly puking and not even being able to walk without help, so I guess going on a hovercraft was a stupid idea. I started to get a little bit worried when they straped the cars down. I didn't see much else of the hovercraft because I spend the rest of the time in the toilets which they had kindly placed on the outside of the ship for ... Read the complete review
