Travelling to France from Canada with 3 young children for a family vacation was somewhat ambitious and a bit daunting.  However, as we wound our way through the vineyards arriving at the beautiful tree-lined drive to Chateau Canet, we knew right away that we had made the right choice.  Chateau Canet is a glorious find away from the congestion of the major tourist attractions of the region but close enough for quick daytime excursions.  Many days we just wanted to enjoy the beautiful grounds and comfortable rooms at the Chateau.  Our children were never happier than when picking baskets of fruit from the orchards or splashing in the pool until dinnertime.  The low-key hospitality of our hosts allowed us to enjoy a relaxing holiday with no set schedule other than our own.  The history and culture of the region is so rich that we are returning to Canet again this year.  This could become an annual excursion!
