The wonderful former home of the 'Little Sparrow' Edith Piaf is now available for weddings and events here in the South of France. Les Parettes is the ideal wedding venue.

This exceptional stone bastide enjoys luxurious interiors and sweeping lawns, ideal for the perfect wedding day. Say your vows under the dappled shade of the majestic pine trees, celebrate with a glass of champage by the side of the azur pool and enjoy a delicious wedding breakfast on the lush green lawn.

For a more intimate celebration the Garden Room will seat up to 50 guests for a dinner, ideal for those cooler spring and autumn months.

It's Carnival Time in the South of France

Quiet in the Winter months? Not here in the South of France, it's February which can only mean one thing - Nice Carnival is in town. 

Think Mardi Gras, think New Orleans, think one of the biggest and most colourful parties that you've ever been to and you'll have come close to the spectacle that is Nice Carnival. 

This year the theme is 'King of Music' and the colour parades of floats take place night and day between 15th February and the 1st March with over 1,000 dancers and performers. 

February is a great time to travel to the South of France, the skies are blue and it's still warm enough to each lunch outside. And of course there are great rates to be found for South of France villa rentals.
