NO HOT TUB
We booked the house for the hot tub but didn't have access to it - were told to go to the river instead (9/10 pm!) The kids were VERY disappointed & wanted me to mention it. And the fact that there's nowhere within 25 mins to get bread etc.
We did have a fantastic holiday regardless however. The river, that was a 5 minute drive (the walk is way too much in the summer heat - it's very hilly), was extraordinary. We would go down late afternoon when it cooled off a bit and spend hours in there. One day, we picked cockles up off the riverbed and cooked and ate them for dinner. Two days, we drove the 90 minutes to Montpellier - one day to enjoy the zoo and aquarium (zoo is free and okay - aquarium isn't and is brilliant - preorder tickets online to bypass the long queues) and the second time we went shopping and then went to The Odysseum for dinner at the Hippopotamus - where we had fantastic service and a lovely meal outside in the evening sunshine. The house served our needs apart from the fact that there isn't a garden and no fans in bedrooms - this led us to making the decision to not use VRBO again (it was our first time - usually we use cottages.com but they're no longer offering cottages in France) & we booked a cruise to Norway July 2025 instead :)
