Enjoy high quality of life on holiday in villa in south of France

Holiday makers who demand high standards and unbeatable quality from a holiday may wish to consider booking a villa in the south of France.

That is because the country has been named as offering the highest quality of life in all of Europe, the second successive year it has held such a title.

Research by consumer website uSwitch.com rated nations throughout the continent on a variety of factors before concluding France is the best place to be.

One highlight of spending time on the Mediterranean coast is an increase in the amount of sunshine, with France enjoying 1,967 hours of bright weather each year compared to the UK's 1,476.

Booking a villa in the south of France in order to get away from Britain and Ireland is perhaps even more attractive after learning the two countries were named as the worst in terms of quality of life.

The France Tourism Development Agency recently announced it has launched a new website for tourists, which those planning a break across the Channel could use to select a resort in the glamorous south of the country.
