Itself comes we already 15 years in this region, in 2005, we the naughty shoes and Lilliputienne have attracted bought. The maisonnette stands on a holiday park of 52 ha, of which 11 ha. have been divided in kavels of 250 to 600m². the park fall under Dutch management, for this reason but belongs to the village Vacquières and falls under French legislation. In the beginning there only houten caravans, toilet stood - and wash-houses stood her and of the concerning the area, a type ennobled camp-site therefore. Comfort, in the form of connection on water, sewerage and elektra, got in the following years figure. In the eighties ' and ' 90 have rather what occupants decided their houten replace caravan by optimising comfort stones maisonnette this way. This was then still possible, nowadays can be cultivated there on each kavel only 30m². Hence that all really out-of-date caravans are replaced by so-called nautil-homes. All existing stones maisonnettes could remain! Preceding explains the very varied bebouwing on Parc le Duc. Fortunately each caravan, maisonnette stands, nautil-home etc. on a kavel of minimum 250m². the climate of the Languedoc guarantor for optimum buitenleven, only sleep, stands toilet-maken and to cook does you preferably within! Lilliputienne has 3 terraces, with 2 houten ligstoelen, tafeltje with 4 are based on (ideal for breakfast) and a large parasol for already too felle sun, zij-terras with bankje and stoeltje and behind where we have placed a table around the grape tree (vigne), especially at night are possible you here delicious food (shade!). For the real sun admirers stand possibly there behind ligstoelen still 2..... cool down can you under the outside shower! But of course you can plunge also deliciously in the swimming pool of the park. Lilliputienne lies to the edge of the park, to the back of the house you sit completely free (sans fish à fish). But also the other terraces (by begroeiing) guarantee an optimum privacy. Moreover this bit of the park only lies "from course" and will be looked up by co-occupiers. Missing sun or shade on, package a book, there stands there enough in the book cupboard, a chair, gives to a room wijntje in also you is god (godin) in France! Or you let rock zoetjes in sleep by the eternal sleep song of the song grasshoppers. Of course is there for those that what has more need to activity in abundance possibilities. I called already the swimming pool, with associated terrace, but there am also jeu the boules job, a court, a volleyball field, a table tennis table and speeltuintje for the kleintjes. In the hoogseizoen a co-ordination team guarantor for vertier for the youth up to 14 years stands. But also the elderly, find, if desired, easily connection. Advantage is that it is spoken there on the park Dutch and also the French staff has in any case tolerated with foreign speakers. I understand that there what eyebrows go omhoog. Such a Dutch enclave in France! Trust me, enough possibilities (or for a long time) have been just acquired of draining the knowledge of French, but for many it is pleasant, certainly in emergency situations, is able fall on Dutch supporters. The swimming pool and the restaurant of the park have been very pleased among the autochthonal people of the surrounding villages and the occupants of Vacquières do much effort the occupants of Parc le involve Duc in local events. Use of it especially, it is nice in such a manner what local "" couleur to acquire. Stand the bar and price the restaurant of the park not enough under the guidance of our Jos. You can here well food for an in every way reasonable tariff, the meal can sprinkle you with a room wijntje, you do not have drive to house! In the hoogseizoen Jos organise each Sunday evening a menu musique, the bands are frequently surprisingly good! Once in the week, hoogseizoen, there is a disco or a foam party. I want you on voorhand warn that your of this foam not cleaner becomes! Of course is it not the intention that you yourself holiday on the park or in the maisonnette precedes to wear, the surroundings offer enough and each what wils! The sportievelingen certainly a trip with the canoe want make on the river Herault. Direction "Ganges" finds you several rent companies, we ourselves always choose for "Le Moulin". After a short instruction you can pedal will. A helmet and life jacket (are distributed) is obligatory. And now but hope that there enough water in the river stands because "do not walk on skates" with such a canoe on your ring turns out better than expected! In the surroundings you can cycle also. Bicycle weeks are even organised on Parc le Duc (to see site also our)! Pay attention, however, I have absolutely no experience, but I take to that a common town bicycle will not satisfy. Motorrijders come also in abundance to their appetites. You can make there splendid excursions. (Of course you can do this also nice comfortably your autootje). At several places in the rivers the Herault and the fish can you swim. The floor of the rivers is covert with stones and is therefore glibberig, and sometimes sharp. Slippers, badschoentjes or even gympen are no superfluous luxury! Climb the Pic Saint Loup. This prowess has been only accomplished within our family by Ron and Daan. A walk up of approximately 1 ½ hour, the descent seemed what more rapidly to go. Care that you attract firm shoes. The Pic Saint-Loup (mount of the saint Loup) are a mount in languedoc roussillon, in the south of France. The 658 meters high mount tower above all mounts and hillocks in the surroundings from and are visible in large parts of the area around Montpellier. The mount is himself between the villages Cazevielle, Saint-Mathieu-de-Tréviers, Saint-Jean-de-Cuculles and Saint-Martin-de-Londres. Because of the fact that the mount has both steep and sloping sides, it is an attraction for walkers and mountaineers. On top of the mount are themselves vault and a large steel cross a small. The Pic Saint Loup borrow its name from a medieval legend. Three brothers, Loup called, Guiral and Clair, all amorously on the clean Bertrade, left on cross speed without they knew who she would choose as a spouse. Once from saint country, the pleased Bertrade had however died. In their sorrow and despair the three brothers decided if kluizenaars to will live on three adjoining mounts. The pick on which Guiral lived, Saint-Guiral were called. These are themselves near the Mont Aigoual. The mount on which Clair lived, Saint-Clair were called, and to the foot of this mount the city Sète was built. Thieri Loup inhabited highest of the three mounts, the Pic Saint Loup. Such as its three brothers, he lighted as long as he lived every year on 19 March a fire as a reminder to its geliefde. The markets..... with their vegetable and fruit, cheeses, bread, honey, wine, fish, poultry, flesh, plants, clothing, tafellakens, hebbedingetjes etc. The allerleukste find you below: Anduze on Thursday, extended swing themselves by the borough gone, after result you can have lunch nicely on the small square. Ganges on Friday, very sociable, after result we always have lunch at "Le jardin exotique", a must. Sommières on Saturday, nicely medieval borough, do not forget especially halfway the small square a cup coffee with tarte ow take citron, have you afterwards still space for a lunch get help you at Claude (friend of Jos), the restaurantje have l Estrocade. But Uzès also on Saturday, a lot press nice. Montpellier, drawer Paillade, Le Mosson apprehend, vlooienmarkt on Sunday, very vast and very nice! The offer varies from pure disorder to splendidly old linnengoed, crystal, zilver etc. We there gladly come and score in fact always, however, what, to see Lilliputienne. After result is for our fixed puncture to have lunch at the port of Carnon, nice view and splendid terraces. Don't love you vlooienmarkten? There is on Sunday also a large market in Lunel! To all markets, asked you apply bedje from because at 13.00 the festival has already expired. To the south go and skip the range is of course impossible. We always go to Carnon "Le Petit Travers". You a couple steps et voilà, sand and sea can there easily, does park generally your car. In the maisonnette lie under the battery bed 2 strandstoeltjes, 2 ligstoelen and a parasol. IJs, frisdranken, water, coffee, tea can take along you but there expire also salesmen and to on the range. An absolute must is a doughnut of "Loulou", rudely large, in a sweet manner and sticky! And ladies..... Loulou senior person are such schatje! In Palavas and drawer grande Motte you can go out at night, for example to the casino. But Palavas are many leuker! A route description retrieves you in the white map in the hoekkastje. Food and drinks..... of course can you not only at Jos nice with. There are enough leuke restaurantjes in the surroundings. In the white map (hoekkastje) we have what tickets of several restaurantjes stopped. At the one zul you what more expensively from the its then other. But prijs-kwaliteitverhouding are at all thick in order. There are uncountable caves in the buurt of the park and overal can taste you (dégustation) for you will buy. Take along a BOB! The nearest place where you can do messages is Saint Mathieu. Here you find a baker and more small winkeltjes but also Intermarché (hypermarket) and a filling station. In Jacou, however, further gone, larger Intermarché and several other shops are and pay attention Mc Donald's and a pizzeria, for a rather fast mouthful. The nicest message address is the Carrefour, mega-groot and a mad offer. As from Carnon Plage it is reasonable near. Direction apprehends lesson Lattes. The Carrefour stand in a type shopping centre with terrible leuke winkeltjes (clothing and shoes!!). also a hugely large toy shop, we have many uurtje there always more hebberiger becoming have zoontjes walked towards (that is already poosje that, however,!) route descriptions and carte the fidélité of the Carrefour, a type bonuskaart, in the white map. Fruit and vegetable can buy you easily at the stalletjes to the way, it is much cheaper and frequently fresher! In the summer months there each day a baker comes on the park. He is between 09.00 and 09.30 at the reception and starts there with sale. He makes a rondje park, where is routes completely connecting random and therefore absolutely unforeseeable is. Leuke boroughs and villages..... all aforementioned marktplaatsjes are very nice. In the maisonnette Anwb-gids lie in which you retrieve a description also of these places. Furthermore I do not call Sauve, medieval plaatsje, forget you camera, Aigues-Mortes, walled vestingstadje, Saint Martin the Londres, Saint Guilhem le Désert and natural Nîmes, Montpellier, Avignon, Alès, Sète, Béziers. I forget a lot of, but call step but simply your car or your engine or bicycle and follow you nose. To bet that you encounter a lot of nice. On one of our surprise excursions we have rightly come once at chance on ancient bouwmaterialenplaats (n 112); the owner is as crazy as a door, but what spullen......! can you bring here easily to a couple uurtjes missing and in ideas a castle or cathedral to build. Each season has of course his own charm. In 2006, we there itself have for the first time been in spring. It was for our astonishing see that our Languedoc can also greenness be! And the wine fields see then of course also differently than in the summer or the autumn, they are anyhow always splendid. By the end of august or beginning September, depending on of, the grapes are harvested, vendanges. We have been ourselves never but it seems go accompanied with much local festivities. Santé! In October much are hunted. Especially on Sunday to see and hears you men, dogs and shotguns. It has, however, what! Me understands well, the last where I sit wait for am that Ron will venture itself to something such and that I will have myself occupy then with the eventual result (to poach, skins, brrr!). But here it belongs simply to the season. The climate differs rather from that from the Netherlands. The average number of sun hours exceeds you naughtiest expectations. Spring is warmer, droger and zonniger. In the summer months it is frequently considerably is called, on average about 30 à 35°, with spectacular figures like in 2006 to 48°, pffft! But it can haunt there also considerably, sudden windstoten and to thunder terribly. (For this reason if you leave or to bed go, the kussens and parasols clear!) Fortunately lasts that never this way long. In the autumn you can you by day still on the range but need lie at night really kacheltje. Also it can rain violently then as a result of which to weigh is impassable and rivers outside the banks to step. In Sommières you can see how high water has stood and that is not yet this way a very long time ago. Because it is in summertime this way dry danger for bunch fires there always exists. In 2003, Parc le Duc have ternauwernood escaped to such a catastrofe. For this reason has been rightly prohibited once again, possibly at overvloede, open fire and bbq on charcoal and gas! Look also with burning butts! In the maisonnette a vast instruction hangs what to do at fire (they side of the frigidaire), also hangs there a small brandblusser. The splendid ASTRE sky is at night an extra traktatie. Even if because you have no charge of lichtvervuiling it is really breathtaking. Never nice and not at all your holiday, but you can become of course sick or charge of cogs and molars to get. In the reception an overview of doctors and dentists on duty hangs. Do not hesitate in need cases or in the weekend involve the administrator. What do you have take along except passport, money, possible medecines, clothing, schoeisel and toilet Article? Bedclothes, towels and theedoeken! There a wasmachine stands therefore you does not have exaggerate the quantities also. On the park is a droger (in the hok beside the terrace of the restaurant), coin for this apparatus can you at the reception buy, but you can let fly also everything nicely to the lines in the garden. We have tried Lilliputienne this way complete, comfortably and sociably possible aim and are with that actual still busy. An overview what you will find zoal to: house chamber - lounge suite (2 x 2-zitter), fair table, hoekkastje, TV with satellite reception, dvd-speler, cd-speler with tuner and a book cupboard with all kinds of types lectuur. Kitchen - angle kitchen block-system with carrousel cupboard and drawers (kitchen unit), sink, gasfornuis, koel-vriescombinatie, kitchen island (drawer) eetbar and 4 is based on (extra is based on under bed in sleep chamber), servieskast (of course with contents), stewpans, braadpannen, wafer pans, wok, spit-roaster pan, deep fryer, kitchen machine, tostiapparaat, mixer, gourmetstel, magnetron, senseo. All stocks can be used, but fill to what on is or almost on is. In any case water leaves, toilet paper and what coffee path behind s.v.p. we have adapted in October 2007 the kitchen and are himself bar proud on the result. For the working surfaces we have chosen beukenhout, pleasantly yet urgently request these as a snijplank not use! Bathroom - shower space (do not forget the shower curtain in the barge, hang because differently zul can paddle you really), wash-hand basin + kastje mentioned below (in one of the laatjes föhn lie), medicijnkastje with mirror, toilet, wasmachine, low kastje in which among other things waspoeder etc. and Ehbo-doos. Water is very kalkrijk in these surroundings. For this reason kindest bottles use water in senseo-apparaat and in the wasmachine always anti-kalk add, I leave behind sufficient stock. sleep chamber - with 2-persoonsbed (1.40 x 2 m.), a fixed cupboard (hang/leg) and a ceiling aerator. sleep chamber - with 2 x 1-persoonsbed, fixed cupboard, hoekkastje with aerator. In the cupboard stand a substance piston, strijkijzer and extra aerators for the remaining spaces. Behind the door the strijkplank stands. sleep chamber - (, however, small hear) with battery bed and coat rack. Kussens, coverlets and dekens are in abundance present. Outside there is a covered terrace with 2 houten ligstoelen, large parasol, a table with parasol and 4 is based on. Zij-terras with travelling box for the kussens (I have across laid a tafelkleed, he is rather blank and seems therefore on vrieskist!), a bankje, stoeltje and a parasol. Behind, our pronkstuk, the grape tree with around a table with 4 are based on. In 2006, we have bought this table. Initially a terrace far terrasverwarmer in the breach hears stand there. Rather superfluous in this climate. It seemed a nice idea us of planting a plane tree and there around the table to put. Thumb then the necessary shade are able ensure. Who outlines our stupefaction then we in the country of the plane trees no plane tree could buy! On our search we have, however, encountered this grape tree and there eventual for have nevertheless gone. It has cost Ron many sweat droplets. There a diep breach had be, as it happens, dug and the floor is rather inaccessible (for this reason wine cellar also no or swimming pool in the garden!). Also it was such 45°. but it has nevertheless succeeded but nicely. And in spite of heat, in which you can plant in fact no trees, he seems start nevertheless. He has this year fruit indeed no, but that comes because he had put its energy in the carrots. _ next year improve!!! Enfin, you can there now delicious food... All terassen are lighted. Behind in the area you find ligstoelen still 2 with parasol and the lines. Also is there behind the house extra are based on to find. On our programme for 2008 the realisation of loungehoek stands! Refuse, old paper, empty bottles can you lost on the terreintje in the park (at the right-hand side of the entrance path 3). the detritus be separated collected. I find cook very nice and I can live it up myself here really. Where do I find such an offer to fresh products in the Netherlands? For this reason I also a row has put down kookboeken and an empty recipe notebook left behind. Perhaps do you have to sense write down receptje for me? Hopelijk you can what makes time to write something in the guest book, also (building) criticism is welcome! I almost most important forget...... how come do you in this divine harbour? A-9 follow to Vendargues, between Nîmes and Montpellier, junction 28. the distance to the park amounts to kilometres then still 25. After the junction rather fast Right finished, the borden castries/Sommières follow. On the rotonde d 68 direction Teyran rechtdoor follows the way, do not refusee. After 13 kilometres at the rotonde (in construction) Right apprehends direction Saint Croix the Quintillargues (d 109), afterwards junction, bit Right and directly to left direction Fontanès, by the village, then has you Parc le Duc already fast your right-hand side. You need be able pass the battle tree a pass. This is ready in most of the cases at the reception. Look the mail alphabetically at sorted. You have taken obstacle also this, can you direction maisonnette go. To entrance 3 and contracts rechtdoor to end, linksaf and nearly direct your rechterhand keeps on driving to see your Lilliputienne (no. 258). I hope that I with already the above something of our enthusiasm for the Languedoc have been possible transmit. We wish you a pleasant time in this region and Lilliputienne in particular.
