From the sun-kissed French Riviera to the peaceful more traditional inland villages, Provence Cote d'Azur is an ideal region for renting a holiday house. The local markets are the place for olive oil, tomatoes, garlic, onions and herbs, traditional Provencal ingredients for your self catering meals. Try delicious cheeses and nougat from Montelimar and don't forget the local wines. Children will want to visit 'Tortoise Village' in Gonfaron, a conservation project. For outdoor pursuits, head to the amazing Gorges du Verdon, where you can bike, ride, fish, climb and much more. Bird-watchers look out for Griffon vultures which have been re-introduced here. Parc National du Mercantour is another walker's paradise - look out for boar, eagles and even wolves re-intoduced here in the 1990s.
