Are you fed up of the British weather, rain all summer and now freezing all winter. Global warming might be melting the North Pole but its not bringing sunshine to the British shoreline. Are you thinking about affordable alternatives, if so, for many people the option of holidays in France for 2010 has to be worth considering. Particularly if you want value for money and a chance of decent sunny weather.
It really is oldy worldy Austrian skiing facilities and you will not find much of a presence there beyond the Austrians themselves.
The marked difference I noticed in visiting Zell am See was the level of activity there, lots more people, a thriving little town in a gorgeous setting and much more to offer the higher level skiers, still not a majorly serious challenge for the advanced skiers, but certainly enough to keep them happy for quite a few days with some decent blacks and reds to go at.
Pahrump Nevada considers itself the heart of the old west. It is a small quaint suburb of Las Vegas with a population of about 35,000 during the winter months. During the summer when the temperature soars the population goes down. In state of Nevada, Pahrump is legally considered a settlement and thus is the largest settlement in the United States.
Pahrump is known around the world for many different reasons. Perhaps one of the more unusual sources of Pahrump’s popularity is that it has brothels.
How many people take themselves off on holiday or on a business trip only to find that when they reach their destination there are about a hundred and one things they wish they had done or got for the trip.
It’s not really that surprising because when you are preparing for your trip more often than not you are trying to leave your work in a position where things will run relatively smoothly while you are away, you are trying to organize the house so that you don’t come back to a complete mess, plus there are services to cancel and a myriad of other things to sort out at home before you can go.
If you are looking for one of the best holiday destinations in October then with average temperatures of around 21C or 70F the Languedoc Roussillon region of South of France should be given very serious consideration. Experience has shown that certainly through the early to middle part of October and sometimes at the back end of the month that the weather can be very mild and pleasantly sunny.
There are numerous options available to you for taking a holiday in France ranging from camping to top class hotels. Deciding which is the best option for you can be a bit tricky but I am of the firm opinion that a self catering holiday in a gite in France is one of the best options available.
So what are my reasons for making this statement, the easiest way is to demonstrate with a simple list of bullet statements.
The Languedoc Roussillon region of France holds a feast of pleasant surprises for the discerning Francophile. The region may not be as coveted as it’s neighboring Provence but that in some ways adds to it’s charm. Beware though, knowledge of this less popular, but equally spectacular, part of France is gradually getting out with more and more tourists coming to the area. Carcassonne itself boasts 3 million plus visitors a year, quite a number for a city with a population of circa 44,000.
Le Pays Lauragais is the region that encompasses the Haute Garronne(31), Tarn (81) and Aude (11) departments in the South of France. I would imagine that most people are aware of Tarn, with it’s capital Albi, as an area of outstanding beauty but may be less familiar with the Aude and Haute Garronne departments, until of course the fabulous cities of Carcassonne and Toulouse are mentioned.
Carcassonne is the capital of the Aude department and home to 2 world heritage sites, and Toulouse known either as the ‘Ville Rose’ or the ‘Cite d’Espace’ is of course the capital of Haute Garrone and is the principle city in the South of France. It is also home of France’s aerospace industry and the headquarters of Airbus.
