    How far south in France to get better weather?

    Hi Paul take my advice, we have just returned from the Loire region and we had 2 weeks of grey skys and rain.We spoke of going south after 3 days but stuck it out.Now we are back in "sunny UK" I wish we had because you normally only get one holiday a year and that was ours. Good Luck
