Where to go on holiday this September 2014?

With the month of August which is nearing its end, it is the high season summer 2014 comes to an end. If vacationers slowly starting to think about back in September, others are preparing instead to make their case and go on vacation. It must be said that with the end of the summer tourist accommodations tend to be empty, the atmosphere of the hottest month falls calmly and prices shown are becoming more affordable. Retirees, couples without children and other agoraphobics in search of tranquility are the population that benefits from Indian summer to offer a dream holiday at low prices. 

Destination the sun 

Although much of the hexagon has and continues to suffer from a lack of sunlight during the summer of 2014, some regions remain sure for September. If it is impossible to guess in advance what the weather conditions in these regions next month, the French Riviera, Corsica and part of Languedoc Roussillon are undoubtedly the most popular holiday destinations in this period. 

To avoid this seasonal risk, some campsites, like the Sérignan Beach, in Herault, have introduced an offer "guaranteed sun." Thus, from 15 September 2014 until the annual closure of the hotel's outdoor edge Roussillon sea, if the sun is exceptionally not to go if it rains and that vacationers have booked a minimum stay of one week in advance, they have the opportunity to shorten their holidays and now only have to pay for the consumed nights! 

A risk that can be paid 

Going on holiday in September in other French regions can be risky. But it is a risk run many French and that sometimes pays off! After all, the summer of 2014 was not the best that France has ever known, it is possible that the fall is much nicer than expected ... 

Brittany and the entire Atlantic coast are therefore the most tempting destinations, particularly around the Gulf of Morbihan and along the coast of Light, in Vendée, two geographical areas known for their micro climate and the sweetness of their fall temperatures. And if the sea air does you little scied, Perigord or Ardeche undoubtedly fill your needs. 

What to Expect at the campsite starting in September? 

If much of the French campsites are still filled in September, a few indications yet reflected the fact that the high season is behind them. The program of events is thus less responsible, especially as regards the fun activities organized for children. Back to school with in early September, kids clubs have all closed their doors at this time of the year and will reopen the following summer. Swimming pools and other water parks campsites are also less crowded. If it is easier to find room on the sunbeds, swimming, often supervised in July and August, is no longer always in September. 

But staying in a hotel outdoor high once last season brings many other benefits. Calmer and less anxious, visitors can truly enjoy their holidays to rest and relax, one thing more difficult than people think in hot weather. Also, tourist sites near the campsites, although generally open until October or November, are not as popular in summer and can therefore appreciate the true value ...
