Right, being a nerdy accountant and enjoying the planning aspect of a holiday as much as the holiday itself, I'm well on already with the packing to the extent that the spare bedroom is now the holiday mission control (bit like that Boots advert).

We're staying near Beziers for 11 nights and I wondered whether anyone was familiar with the area and has any top tips for places to visit? Planning a day in Carcassonne, couple of days at the beach (Portiragnes seems to get good reviews), probably Montpellier and/or Nimes as well. Has anyone got any tips on days out for the kids? Aqualand waterpark at Cap d'Agde seemed a good idea but gets slated on Tripadvisor. Anyone been to the Dinosaur park at Meze? (no comments about Long/Fitzgibbbon, thanks )

Cheers for any info

We're starting the 'Holiday' in Toulouse and then moving on to Sète for the weekend and more, apparently it's the "little Venice of France" www.en.ot-sete.fr/www-accueil_SE ... -SETE.html There's plenty of beach and a few activities for the kids. Montpellier's a vibrant city, just watch out for the trams. We went to Carcassone last year and enjoyed visiting its medieval city. From Sète we're moving on to Nimes.

Been to Nimes, nice place, lots of character. Also been to le cap d'agde, beautiful place with a trendy little marina, very expensive though.

Exchange rate is gash as well - £1: €1.15

We are driving down on the 7th and staying in Sauvian for a week, I have not planned much YET but I did find the local wine guide, I intend on sampling and bringing back as much as I can.

Fly to Girona the Wednesday before. 3 nights there then drive to Beziers, two nights there and then 2 nights in Figueras. Was hoping to see Preckie etc off, but not sure I'll be able to now.

Looking forward to a nice relaxing week. Unfortunately I have to go to the match on Saturday night

I did consider not going to the game but things are looking up a bit, plus maybe is the first glimpse of Lauaki.

Its my first time to Catalans, Beziers staduim looks big, do most people get tickets before they go ? I don't think the club has them yet.

Flying.. East Midlands - Carcassonne On Friday 14th.. Arrive 10.30 ish!

Staying in Perpignan Fri Sat Night!!!

Should be a gd un!
