Book Your French Holiday Villa or Cottage Early!

Well, we would say that, wouldn't we, but we're also thinking of you, honest! It's not just the organised who book a summer holiday one year in advance - it's the canny. We are taking bookings now for 2009.

If you see aproperty on our website with unconfirmed prices or availability it simply means we are in the process of renewing contracts with owners . Just call us on 0870 6092845 or email us to get the information you need.

Five reasons why it's good to book early...

1. Get the weeks you want

Aquitaine has become very popular destination in the past few years, especially during the school summer holidays. The good places are booked long in advance, especially the ones near the coast - Biarritz, St Jean de Luz, Cap Ferret, Hossegor are favourites. To book the first two weeks of August, please don't delay!

2. Only put down a 25% deposit
Ease your cash-flow, especially if you're still paying for last year's holiday and Christmas is approaching! We normally require a 35% deposit but until 31.12.08 a 25% deposit will be enough to secure your choice if you pay by cheque or bank transfer.

3. Get a good deal - possibly!
It's often possible to book ahead at the current year's prices. We can sometimes (not guaranteed!) do this whilst we're in the process of renewing contracts with owners and the prices are unconfirmed on our website. There's often some 'Early Bird' special offers available too for non-peak bookings.

4. Beat the French!
We love the French, but we also love winning against them - Olympics 2012 anyone? The French don't really start booking holidays until December/ January, but when they do, they go for it and, with their good taste, it's the nicer places that go. Why not get in there first?

5. Feel smug, impress your friends
OK, not necessarily the best reason to spend hard-earned money, but if you're going to book a holiday for next year sometime anyway, you could Do It Now and feel good about it!
