• Ile de Ré - La Couarde Holiday Apartment in Poitou Charentes
  This relaxing, and now highly fashionable, island has all the ingredients for a perfect holiday. Only 5k wide and 28k long, it has a host of appealing beaches and the very pretty harbour of the tiny capital, St Martin, is lined with shops and restaurants.
  100m from the wide blue waters of the ocean, these 65 apartments with outdoor pool are in La Couarde, one of the island's major resorts. The cool pine woods of the forest of Henri VI are a couple of kilometres along the road, backing yet more lovely golden beaches. Offer- 20% off rental for week starting 27 May and 30% off between 10 and 24 June, saving up to £118. Price per person for family of 5, from only £96 for a week including return ferry crossings with car.
• Branville - Résidence Pierre et Vacances Holiday Apartment in Normandy
  Branville is a small village with a charming church and half timbered 15thC houses in a pleasant country setting. Cornfields abound and orchards produce the apple brandy and cider this region is famous for. A short drive away is the glamorous seaside resort of Deauville with its many attractions including lovely beaches with watersports, good shops & restaurants, evening entertainment and a couple of excellent golf courses. The Garden Club is an attractive complex of 83 single storey cottages, built in a typical Norman style - half timbered, with wooden shutters and covered terrace with garden furniture. Set in large grounds with plenty of on-site facilities including an indoor and outdoor pool, children's pool, sauna, indoor and outdoor tennis, games room, bar, restaurant & take away food. Offer - 30% off rental for holidays taken up to 1 July, saving up to £187. Price per person based on a family of 5, from only £127 for a week including return ferry crossings with car.
• La Tranche sur Mer  - Holiday Apartment in Western Loire
  La Tranche sur Mer is one of the Vendée's typical resorts with a fine sandy beach stretching for 13k, backed by pine woods - perfect for walks or cycling (a great opportunity to keep fit, or get fit!) There are also watersports (sailing, surfing, windsurfing) and boat trips - the town itself has a Mediterranean feel with narrow streets and whitewashed houses. For an interesting day trip the lovely port of La Rochelle is only an hour away. Originally built in 1880 with a domed tower, this colonial style residence is now converted into 45 attractive apartments, right on the beach (each has sea view) and close to the town centre. Offer - 30% off rental for weeks starting 6 and 20 May, saving up to £108. Price per person based on a family of 5, from only £95 for a week including return ferry crossings with car.
• Moliets - Village Pierre et Vacances - Holiday Village in Aquitaine
  The beaches of Aquitaine have been a British holiday destination for many years, both for the newer resorts and old established favourites. Biarritz, for example, is easily reached from Moliets, after a drive through the cool, shady pine woods of the Landes. A day trip into Spain is another option - perhaps one way speedily by autoroute, and the other via one of the mountain passes in the Pyrenees. On the 'Silver Coast' of south west France, this village of 430 apartments and 162 houses is set amongst scented pines, 2k by footpath from one of Aquitaine's incredibly long sandy beaches. It is also near one of the large lagoons that are found along this coast and has 7 pools 3 of which are children's. Offer - 7 nights for the price of 5 for holidays taken up to 1 July, saving up to £130. Price per person based on a family of 5, from only £94 for a week including return ferry crossings with car.
