The perfect place for a holiday any time of year, Spring sees the start of the Brocante and Antique markets and the countryside is at it’s greenest. Summer is full of activity in the fields, every village has it’s annual fete and the Tour de France is usually passing through nearby. Autumn is the season of harvesting - apples, pears, figs, chestnuts and grapes with lots of autumn fetes and wine fetes to celebrate the first wine of the year. Winter can be magical with incredible light, Christmas markets and snow.
