Just got back from 2 weeks staying in a chalet in Northern France (basically Mont St Michel) when the weather was good, it was fabulous, but the second week it rained for 4/5 days.
We’d like to go back to France next summer, with another family, but have no idea where to go – however we want a better chance of warm/dry weather than this year)
There will be 9 people (4+5) not fussed if we stay together or in separate chalets/gites.
Camping in tents is out – the mum from the other family is a bit poorly and needs to sleep in a proper bed/ would prefer own bathroom etc.
We want the following –
Self catering chalet/gite – probably prefer it on a site as decent pool is a must (5 kids under 10)
Drivable in a day from Channel Tunnel (300 miles is getting toward the limit with small kids)
Good chance of nice/dry weather (25 degrees and dry everyday would be wonderful)
Nice countryside so me and the other Dad can get out on the road bikes – flat/rolling countryside preferable to Alpine climbs.
Few things to do in local area (zoo/wildlife always a hit with the kids)
Any suggestions?
