A French Gite – The Perfect Place For A Holiday

National Directory of Qualified DUI Lawyers 1800DUILAWS.com

One of the best places to go on holiday in Europe is France, and one of the best areas of France is the Dordogne. The Dordogne is a department in south west France in the Aquitaine region and has many gites to chose from.

The Dordogne has warm summers and short cold winters. In the summer, there are usually 8 days per month with temperatures above 30 degrees. It also rains her e which is why it is so green,so don’t expect a completely dry holiday.

Fortunately in the summer you find that the heat builds up, followed by a dramatic thunderstorm, often at night, which clears the air and enables the pattern to begin again. These storms occur more frequently in the north and east of the department.

So what is there to do in the Dordogne? As with the rest of France, there are markets on every day of the week somewhere in the area you are visiting. In the summer, there are night markets as well.

Food is based on the “Terroir” — the earth. This is a good are for growing crops for sale and for food. You will see field upon field of sunflowers, wheat, maize and orchards of fruit trees. The area is famous for its Duck dishes from Confit du Canard to Foie Gras.

If you have children, many gites have swimming pools. If you venture out, you will find medieval castles, jousting tournaments, aerial walkways and swings through the forest and canoeing to name but a few.

This area has been settled since the Stone Age so you get cave drawings, Roman museums, 100 Years War castles through to memorials to the Free French Maquis of the 2nd World War.

If that isn’t enough then just spend your holiday wine tasting. There are so many vineyards offering free tasting that you are spoilt for choice. Just be aware that the police can breathalyse you so have a designated sober driver.

Where to stay? The best place to stay is a French gite. Once they were very basic French cottages, they now come with mod cons. Many have pools and play areas for children and as the weather is good BBQing is the cooking choice of most guests.
