Festival fun on South of France holidays

Those planning Languedoc villa holidays in the South of France this summer could attend one of the country's top music festivals.

The Gilles Peterson Worldwide Festival is taking place in Sete from July 8th to 11th, bringing a host of top musicians and DJs to the resort.

Journalist Dan Hipgrave listed the event in his rundown of the top international music festivals as published in the Metro newspaper.

He described it as a "genre-defying, all-embracing" gig that offers a "global extravaganza of upfront sounds blurring the division between jazz and hip-hop, fund and electronica, house and soul, dubstep and techno".

Those who love all types of music, or who simply can't decide on their favourite, will find plenty to keep them entertained.

The 2010 line-up includes Gil Scott-Heron, who is known as the godfather of rap, Josh Wink, Floating Points, Dynamite MC, Jeremy Ellis and Ladybugz.

Sete is located on the Languedoc coast close to the Etang du Thau, so festivalgoers can take in the sea breeze and the beautiful ocean views as they chill out and listen to the music.

Those renting South of France villas in Agde will be just a stone's throw from Sete.
