There are those of us who feel that an essential part of our holiday in France is the morning walk to the boulangerie to buy the fresh baguette and warm croissants. A glass of wine on the sunny terrace of a friendly café is always more enjoyable if you don’t have to drive anywhere later. And we all know that even the most lavish dessert is permitted if we have actually walked to the restaurant.... Therefore we have compiled this list of our holiday properties which are within easy walking distance (1 kilometre) of restaurants, shops or bars, or a combination of the three. If you like walking a bit further, ask us, and we can give you even more possibilities. Have a relaxing holiday!
