Here is the weather...
The Languedoc-Roussillon – the region in which La Maison Blanche is situated – has some of the most varied weather in France. The region enjoys 300 days of sunshine a year and, after Corsica, is the second hottest in France with average annual temperatures between 13.5 deg C and 15 deg C and highs of 30 deg C plus.
The coastline, sheltered by mountains, tends to be sunnier and warmer than the inland areas. Summer rain is infrequent and, usually, the days are long and dry.  Heavy rain can fall in the autumn and sometimes in spring.
Some areas of the Languedoc have microclimates, with Carcassonne a good example. Nîmes, reputed to be the hottest city in France, recorded a shade temperature of 43 deg C (110 deg F) in 2001.
Dry northerly winds like the mistral, and the tramontane blow during the summer months.  For a few days each year the scirocco blows, covering everything with a fine coating of sand and dust from the north African deserts.

These long, hot days can make you long for the pool
