In reply to Sam W:
We did English half term in Samoens in 2009. I’d not go back in half term. Lift queues were big!
I’m not sure when uk half term is.
The French all get 2 weeks now at half term, the country is split up into 3 zones for holidays, A B C.
In February 2020, 2 out of 3 zones will be off from 15th Feb to 1st March. So if you’re able to avoid those weeks it will be a lot quieter.
