A "resurgence" in the trend for families to take holidays in France is underway, it has been suggested.
Editor of France magazine Carolyn Boyd said that, judging from feedback from tour operators, the number of people wanting to stay in France holiday cottages is on the increase.
She noted that may families "did not want to risk the poor weather" in the UK last summer and so instead opted to take a break across the Channel.
And a similar trend is likely to occur this year providing the exchange rate does not change, Ms Boyd observed.
Visitors will "eat better for the same price" that they would pay in the UK, she commented, adding that some firms supplying France gites offer "great deals".
Last week, a poll conducted by Simonseeks.com showed that more than half of the people who opted for a staycation last year intend to travel further afield in 2010.
