Last Minute Holiday in a French Villa

Tips for your Last Minute Holiday in a French Villa

The summer holidays are nearly over, but maybe you’re still ready to visit sunnier skies? If you’re anything like the other 17 million Brits that choose to go to France every year, you won’t need convincing that France is the ideal last-minute holiday spot. Whether ‘‘last minute” for you means booking a week or a month in advance, the South of France is convenient to travel to, offers beautiful Mediterranean weather and more. Here are some of our suggestions for ideal last minute villa holidays in the South of France.

 Visit a less-popular French holiday destination

Collioure villa with hot-tub

The Languedoc region may not be as glamourous as some spots on the French Riviera, but this can work in your favour. Sacrificing locations that get more tourist attention can mean getting more for your money. In fact, the region of Languedoc on the south coast of France is often considered more authentically French because it’s filled with towns that breathe life long after the tourist season is over.
