Staying in property in France's Midi-Pyrenees region in the weeks to come could allow Britons to enjoy a harvest festival of their own design.
The region's tourism organisation explains that the annual wine harvest is approaching, with grapes hanging round and velvety on their vines.
Indulging in a little tasting does not need to be purely about the drink, as many of the wines have links with the history of the country itself.
For instance, Cotes de Gascogne wines hail from the same area as d'Artagnan and, on January 25th 1982, was given status as a zonal wine country.
This places the wine produced there under a set of criteria to ensure quality and adherence with regulations.
Gaillac wine, meanwhile, redefines the traditional colours of the French flag, says the Midi-Pyrenees regional tourism committee.
People who live in property in France's Tarn region instead look to their own tricolour of white, red and pink.
