Well.. Need to learn the regions first to name them

But let's say..
From Ile d'Oleron south, along the coast, preferably close to the coast, but an hours drive from it won't be the end of the world.

Then the second part is the south coast.
Wifey says close to Cannes, I say "I'm not made of money". Again, all that coast is being considered, maybe even 2 hours drive from water.

What I'm trying to do is to agree several worlds to cooperate.
Daughter being a " water-monkey" will want biggest pools/aquaparks possible, ON SITE.
I'm like cat- aversion to water, sunbathing.. But (far from being a priority) if I could go out at low tide and try to fetch some clams all by myself..
Wifey wants "famous" places. Not considering lashes that it would give to my wallet

And most of all - access to local produce. Seafood, wines, pastries, cheeses..

Says it all, really..

And maybe explains why if it wasn't for night noises, we'd happily go to St Palaus again.

Anyway- I'm shuffling trough Vacansoleil, some look promising.

Any advice, idea, still welcomed
