Here is a nice reading-focused lesson which could be done in a computer room or on laptops/iPads. It's what used to be called a "web quest" activity. Essentially the students go to the Gites de France site and search for a gite of their choice, completing a vocab list along the way. That might be enough for you, but if you want to give it a communicative twist, a few possibilities spring to mind.
1. Students find five gites, rank order them by different categories, e.g. price, facilities, area, size.
2. When students have chosen a gite they work in pairs, with one person describing their gite to their partner, who must note down the description.
3. Pairs choose a gite together, then draw up a luggage list for the trip and plan five activities to do in the area (as if they were planning a short holiday break).
4. In pairs, students look at each other's choice and discuss the pros and cons of their partner's choice. They agree which of their choices is better.
5. Give students a profile of three potential gite renters, e.g. age, preferred style of house, preferred region, price limit, type of activities they like (e.g. beach, mountains, town, country). They need to find a good match for each of the people, then justify their choice to a partner.
All these activities might be recommended for a high-flying Y9, or more likely, a motivated Y10-11 class.
