DSSS--I assume you are talking about March of this year, and you really are very late to be booking March of this year. I don't really have any input for you, OTHER THAN the water shortage situation. Very much, yes, it is still going on. I personally would not book any villa on the French side that does not have a cistern or alternative water source. Suggest you go through an agent and make sure they are aware of your requirements. Best wishes.
