Default St Auban or ?

I have been flying at various sites in Southern France (by the way, Challes-les-Eaux is not part of Southern France...), and maybe some 1500h out of La Motte du Caire. La Motte is a little paradise; however, during July/August it becomes rather crowded. It's a small airfield, and the limit of 25 gliders is rater generous...

For personal reasons, I now fly out of Fayence which is about 20 km north of the Mediterrean Sea (it's close to St-Raphael and about 45 min from Nice airport).
For familiy, that would be the ideal place with beaches close by (both fresh and salt water). Access to the mountains is fairly easy (the house ridge is about 1800m elevation), and in the evening you can fly straight into the field from a point 150 km to the north...
Rather big operation, many international visitors, round the year operation, reasonable fleet from 15m to 25m.
