GITE AT ST PALAIS SUR MER.
Review Submitted: July 8, 2009

What a lovely place. The description of the location didn't do it justice. You can see the sea from the gate of the gite and it is, literally 50 yards down the road to a lovely beach.
You do have to then go down quite a few steps to the beach, so could be difficult for disabled or those with very small children. There are lovely walks in both directions along the cliff path, turning left takes you into the town of St Palais which is very nice. The gite itself is good, although quite small (perfect for two - could be a little cramped with 4 or 5) all on one level and has everything required in the way of equipment. Nice little paved area at the front is perfect for barbeques in the evening, hidden from the road (which is very quiet anyway) and just down 2 steps from the living area.
All in all, this was a lovely place to spend a week. The gite made a perfect base both for the beach and exploring the surrounding area. The weather was beautiful whilst we were there, which added to our enjoyment and we would certainly recommend it - particularly for couples. We hope to go again !
