Suggestions for summer holiday with 6mo baby

We drove to Brittany, via a ferry, and stayed in a lovely site. You rented self-catering gites but the owners ran a bar in the evening and had a small soft play and garden toys. It was lovely site-seeing in France or wandering around a French Market, and then socialising with other families in the evening sun while the children played, enjoying a beer and a kir royale. There was also a heated pool kept behind child-safe gates. Perfect.

We did France with both of ours at that age. Drove there and went on the ferry and self catered. I'd at least look into some options where you aren't flying to see if anything would suit. 

I'd second France at that age. Did a village gite with a slightly older baby. Overnight cabins to Brittany. Lunches in cafes and restaurants allowed the other diners to play pass the parcel as the little one was handed from table to table. The little one tried a lot of the food we ate, just offered a little on a teaspoon and increased what she liked, which surprised us, though your will probably be too young. Think she grizzled once.

Just don't let them crawl round the floor unhindered as the waiters prefer not to navigate live trip hazards.

Be reasonable about evenings, keep to the same routine for the baby, adjust your supper time and choose recipes so they can cope with delays or bringing forward. When you've got ripe figs in the garden and good fish and moules in the local shops, you can throw things together quickly.
