Rural gîtes

Your very own home from home ... The perfect holiday home for families and/or friends to get together whatever the time of year. Rural gîtes are self-contained properties that you can rent for a week (usually from Saturday to Saturday), a weekend or a short break at certain times of year.

Gîtes are always comfortably equipped with everything you need to enjoy your stay in attractive house with reception room(s), bedrooms, kitchen and bath/shower room(s).

- You can be sure of a warm welcome , lots of practical help if required and the chance to get to know the owners and to learn something about their way of life.
- The architecture of our rural gîtes is as varied as the other attractions they have to offer. Wherever you choose to stay you will be able to enjoy outdoor pursuits and to explore all that each region has to offer.

We offer a wide range of accommodation, from 2 person to 10 person gîtes. Some owners have a number of adjoining gîtes which are ideal for several families wanting to holiday together but not necessarily to stay under the same roof.

The The Gîtes de France quality label is your guarantee of clearly defined levels of comfort (1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 ‘épis’ ) and adherence to a national charter.

All Gîtes de France rural gîtes are classified in accordance with their setting , the level of comfort and services they offer. They are all checked and if necessary reclassified every 4 years. They are always checked if they have been the subject of a complaint.
