Lovely house, great kitchen, high ceilings and aircon - marvellous
Lovely house beautifully restored. Wide hall and stone staircase lead up to three great sized bedrooms, one ensuite and a huge family bathroom for the other two to share. Very well equipped kitchen with a lovely Smeg range cooker that was easy to use.
Plenty of parking space, though be careful under the large plane tree as the birds stay there at night! Fortunately there was a hose nearby :-)
Brilliant swimming pool to cool off in during the roasting hot latter parts of the day. Nice village with at least 4 boulangeries and a Carrefour supermarket 3 mins away.
The bars in Generac are a little sparse, mainly just a bar for local men to drink at although one had a useful terrace outside. However, the house also has a terrace and we spent many an evening watching our children (adult ones) drink many of the bottles of wine we regularly bought!! So the lack of bars was hardly an inconvenience.
For such a small village, there is a truly outstanding restaurant called L'Instant du Sud run by Franck & Ludivine - well, so good we went back two nights later to have different dishes on the menu as it was so hard to decide. Not only delicious beautifully presented food, but modestly priced. A real find and I will be back there next year!!
All in all, when taking into account the bull taunting fete that occurs in early July, followed by Bastille Day fireworks (everywhere but we chose Aigues Mortes), a concert in the 2000 year old amphitheatre in Nîmes (Jamiroquai) and a trip around the Camargue added up to an absolute brilliant holiday for us all.
Highly recommend and Cathy and Mike are delightful, helpful hosts.
