The annual grape harvest is one of the most important times in the calendar in the South of France and it kicks off at the end of August and continues through until October.

Enjoy an autumn harvest break in the beautiful Villa La Cascade - a gorgeous Languedoc self catering villa just a 5 minute walk from the pretty village of Durban Corbieres.

With private pool, fabulous views, and pretty garden, this gorgeous Languedoc cut-stone villa rental is the ideal location for a memorable fall vacation in this still undiscovered part of the magnificent south of France. The villa is available to rent for £1800 per week during the month of September.

According to the villa's owner, Valerie Deighan; "The village of Durban Corbieres hums with activity during the harvest and is a brief and scenic drive from airports at Perpignan, Carcassonne, Gerona, Toulouse and Montpellier. The grape harvest takes place after most of the tourists are gone, but here in the South of France attractions are still open and the skies are blue".

If you want a relaxing South of France autumn vacation combining vineyard visits and excellent restaurants Languedoc has it all. Valerie concludes by saying "The weather in the fall is generally warm, dry and sunny so if you're searching for a peaceful spot for enjoyable wine tasting and a gourmet experience - this is the perfect vacation rental!"
