Like every summer, you ripped off the latest trendy jerseys on the first day of the sales, you have a new tanning oil to test, you are already warming up to prepare your endless snorkeling or hiking sessions in the hinterland and train tickets for the Côte d'Azur have already been booked for months... The thorny issue of housing remains. For two, four or ten people, for a weekend or three weeks, with family or friends, booking a holiday rental in summer is often the ideal solution. But with the multitude of offers available, it is difficult to find your way around.
An often unbeatable price-quality ratio
Most of the time, rental offers an unbeatable price-quality ratio. Especially since "living like home" on holiday is a strong trend in recent years in the world of tourism. The budget is better controlled, because we avoid "restaurant" or "aperitif" outings every day... And the more people there are, the more the price per person drops, often significantly. Large or reconstituted families or groups of friends, there is something for everyone. Especially when you have decided to settle down on the Côte d'Azur in high season for example...
Define your priorities
Beach to put down your towel and sunbathe in the Var, sports coastline for aquatic activities in a mess on the Alpes-Maritimes side, hinterland to explore the hiking trails of the Mercantour, small charming village of PACA or a cultural destination to enjoy a rich heritage like Saint-Paul-de-Vence, there are many choices. Having your own rental and car also allows you to combine these many possibilities, so don't hesitate to study the area to see what the surrounding area has to offer. And again, prioritize...
Choose your destination carefully
What do you plan to do with your days? The choice of the seaside resort is essential. Large and festive or quiet, unknown to tourists, first define your ideal beach. Also check with family and friends to find your dream spot. If you dream of tranquillity, it is better to avoid Avignon in July during the festival, Cannes during its beach parties in August on the occasion of the "Electronic Beaches" or the cities of the Southwest during their holidays... Consult the websites of the tourist offices can therefore once again prove very useful. On the other hand, also to plan some long summer evenings and parties...
You have decided to go to the south of France. A priori no weather problem... Except that nothing prevents to go to a site in the event of a last-minute departure: storms, forest fires, beach weather, tide times in the southwest, etc. You can never be too far-sighted
Finding the ideal accommodation
Once you have found your spot (or at least your department), it is time to choose the accommodation itself. We often forget it, but camping today is no longer necessarily synonymous with tents to pitch, sleeping in the sun and toilets to share with 80 people... They often accommodate comfortable mobile homes with bathroom, kitchenette, Wi-Fi connection, sheets and towels, sometimes even daily cleaning, etc. In short, an ideal solution for small budgets looking for comfort. Apartments are also a good solution for families. Many of them can be found in recent residences that may have a swimming pool or a sports hall, as well as breathtaking sea views. A hotel "like at home" in short... Finally, the largest budgets will find plenty to satisfy all their expectations. Villas with countless bedrooms and bathrooms, overflowing pools, spas with hammams and whirlpools, Provençal mas hidden away from view and noise, there is really enough to satisfy the most demanding guests
