July 19, 2011 - PRLog -- With the schools about to break up for summer holidays, it appears that many families are taking advantage of last minute holiday deals to France, especially for self catering holiday rentals.

The recent interest follows a developing trend seen over recent years with the traditional booking season being extended longer and longer through the year, right up to the date of departure.

Fortunately there are still a range great value and flexible accommodation options available, as seen in the late availability section of the French Connections website at http://www.frenchconnections.co.uk/holidays-in-france/accommodation/last-minute-availability.cfm

For example holidaymakers looking for something typically French can opt for property ID 102840, a stone village house from the 16th Century situated in Caunes-Minervois near Carcassonne.  This quaint house in idyllic surroundings is perfect for a young family getaway and is available from between £312 - £580 a week .

If you’ve got a bigger family, or if you’d like to travel with another family as a group, you might like to check out a charming converted old forge, property ID 4217, situated in Vijon, near St. Amand-Montrond. Pets are welcome, and the garden can be used as a barbecue area – ideal for long summer evenings!

If a village house isn’t quite what you’re looking for, try a cute French cottage. Property ID 493 is located in Crazannes near Saintes in Charente Maritime. With a fully equipped kitchen and living area, and a garden with barbeque, and at only £350 - £450 a week, it really is a home from home.

If you’d like something a bit grander, try a 19th century Limousin farmhouse, property ID 106417, located in Saint Barbant. This rustic farmhouse has garnered rave reviews from guests. Nestled in the gorgeous French countryside, boasting access to a swimming pool and acres of wild flower meadows, the property is perfect for a last minute family getaway. Prices start from £250 a week and the three bedrooms can sleep up to seven people.

And for the piece de resistance of French holiday getaways, just have a gander at property ID 147797, an incredibly spacious villa with its own private pool near Soustons available from £352 a week. With four bedrooms it can comfortably sleep up to 10 people, the beach is in walking distance, and the villa itself has a swimming pool right outside.

France really does have something to offer for any aspiring holiday maker, with properties to suit all pockets and needs. The best way to stay in France is probably to rent a property, rather than a hotel, as this opens up a world of choices; however if you’d rather go for the ease of a hotel room, there are tons of last minute deals to be found too at French Connections.
