South of France, where to stay?

[billzeebub]

I have booked a ferry to France for a drive down south somewhere with the Gf. Leaving the 5th September for a week. Looking for recommendations for accomodation, coastal or inland. We had initially decided to look at a 'posh' caravan type affair, but also considering small gites, self catering etc. The main criteria is somewhere that will allow for cars to be parked by the Accomodation and within walking distance of a pretty village/town. Ideally with a hot-tub or small pool.

Any experience on geographical areas & specific sites/properties would be much appreciated

Fairly flexible, but aslow as possible!..hoping for under £500 for the week, upper end of budget £1000 for something exceptional.
