It can also organise tailor-made tours of the Cathar castles, art tours (Matisse, Picasso and Dali all spent time in this area), gourmet tours or a mixture of the above. See thefrenchtourco.com.

* DIRECT Holidays is giving away US$300 (€190) to clients who book holidays to Orlando, Florida, before May 1.
One week’s holidays, including flights, transfer and seven nights accommodation start from €979 per person sharing and the company offers half price insurance (although it’s still wise to shop around).
The Irish-based company, amongst others, is selling Florida on a number of counts, not least because of the strength of the euro against the dollar.
Direct Holidays offer special packages departing Dublin on June 6, 13 and 20. Prices include flights, transfers, seven nights’ accommodation and all taxes. Call 01-8860400 or check out www.directholidays.ie.
