Bungalow Saint-jean-de-monts
We only spent one night in this mobile home but it was a real treat! Very quiet area, excellent bedding! Everything necessary is present in the accommodation and great ease of access to the campsite/mobile home! Very responsive host! Recommended

10 min walk to Lille Centre: 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 3 powder rooms
Very nice accommodation, ideally located in Lille. Everything is impeccable, Yvon is a host of extreme kindness and thoughtfulness. The stay was perfect. I would recommend it without a second thought!

Entire place. Maison Les Zières Dérand
We had a great stay with a total of four children in a very nice and spacious house and a great host who was always and very quickly available for questions. We really enjoyed the weekend.

Super cozy accommodation with a very nice garden. Located near beautiful beaches and St Malo and Cancale. Beautiful walks possible.

Maison Labenne Ocean
Great stay. Everything you need, well located, good communication. Recommended

New fully-equipped mobile home
The weather wasn't great but we'll be back. I really liked the master suite, the large bed and the ensuite bathroom. The kitchen is well-equipped. The setting is nice, the beach very close. The bungalow is spacious. In summer, it is very shady, which must be appreciable.

Large Complete Home in Saint-James
Clean and nice place. Jonathan responds quickly to messages and information for check-in and checkout is clear. I recommend it.

Jacuzzi, stone sauna, fireplace, fiber internet
We had a pleasant stay, the rental is very clean as well as the bed and bath linen, the kitchen well-equipped, but above all, a magnificent view from the terrace and the jacuzzi. Leopold is very kind and welcoming. We recommend this rental for people wishing to retreat in peace.
Apartments in France

"Le Magnifique" 7 minutes from the center of Lyon
If you want a little quieter, more residential location close to the train station and groceries, this is a great choice. It was a relief to have space after our hotel in Paris! Large kitchen and bathroom, and plenty of room in the bedroom. Stairs might be tricky if you have lots of luggage or mobility issues. It was quiet at night, for sure. The washing machine allowed us to do laundry at the midpoint of a 10 day trip and only pack carry-on luggage.

Apartment F2
Clean accommodation and a favorite for the bathroom. Marina is a very enjoyable host! I would recommend Airbnb.

Superb studio terrace 5 minutes to the beach
We just loved the apartment, great location for visiting Nice and great access to public transport. Very comfortable accommodation and very well equipped Our contacts with our host were always pleasant and obliging. Thank you

Castles in France

Exclusive Use of Château de Marigné – Park & Pool
Was a great location for a family week end.

Chateau du Puy Tower Suites w/ Best views
Kika and Pete have masterfully created a sleek, peaceful space perfectly designed for a relaxing retreat. The chateau sticks out on the hillside as you approach. Your space is the highest point on the hillside with an unobstructed view of the valley below. The two bedrooms are connected and you must go through one to reach the bathrooms. The space was spotless, kitchen fully loaded, washer and dryer worked well, design of the space is clutter free for ultimate relaxation. Hosts provide an exhaustive list of excellent local recommendations. Would recommend!

Cosy Home of Character in Castle
What to say!! Just beautiful. Conveniently located, with simple and easy access. The check-in recommendations are clear and accurate, the quality of the accommodation is impeccable and with an amazing view. Cleanliness, quality decor, and more. Everything was as advertised, and even beyond. Thanks for the great time. A great memory of a guest.. We recommend without a second thought, you can trust Beatrice. Looking forward to coming back.

Spacious apartment with two bedrooms at the Château
A beautiful place and a very welcoming and helpful host. We recommend it to lovers of history, stories, architecture, nature... a successful stay for our family!

Castel in the Loire Valley
The castle is amazing. We went there with a group of friends, and we had the best time. Everything was so well prepared, the kitchen is fully equipped to clean and there’s even a BBQ. We loved it!

Castle for family, friends, seminar + caterer 18 beds
We had a great sunny weekend with friends at La Guimandière. We were able to enjoy the garden, barbecue, tennis, petanque, this beautiful castle and catering services for a moment in the countryside and quiet. A big thank you to François for hosting us and to Patricia for hosting us!

Castle's guesthouse - east wing
If you want to experience an authentic homely French chateau then this place is great value! The grounds were the highlight for us, especially as we had dogs with us. They were made to feel at home as well as us and they loved the woods and the lake! The breakfast showcasing the local produce was really lovely and it was great to have the opportunity to purchase the local wines ( which we did of course!) Marie was lovely! She was responsive, friendly and helpful - thank you so much for your kind hospitality x

Our House, Château de la Boulaye.
This stay was like none we've ever had! It's a genuine chateau/mansion, complete with stables, endless rooms, a pond, and even a chapel. While it is old and there are parts of the grounds that are not kept up, the inside doesn't feel old at all. The furniture is modern and it has all the fixtures you'd expect. It's a wonderful, eccentric getaway for a large family or multiple families vacationing together who want a unique experience. The grounds are fun to explore and the surrounding countryside has trails through the fields and the Normandy bocage that you can get lost in. There is a nature preserve/park close by, also. The host was very responsive and accommodated our arrival nicely. Note that (as of JUL 2024) there is no Wi-Fi and the mobile signal strength is spotty, but that may be what you're looking for. We recommend this property for a once in a lifetime stay at a very reasonable price.
Your guide to France
All About France
From its scenic beaches and cinematic alps to its rich historic and cultural sites, France is a country steeped in natural, architectural, and artistic beauty. The European country houses 44 UNESCO World Heritage sites, including medieval towns, towering castles, sacred cathedrals, and spectacular landscapes. Paris, the capital of France, has been one of the world’s great cultural centers for centuries now, home to famous museums such as the Louvre and Musée d'Orsay, iconic landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, and the Champs-Élysées, a stately avenue lined with exclusive fashion boutiques.
Outside of the metropolis, you can bask in the sun on the glittering coastline of the French Riviera, or head high up into the French Alps for a few days of amazing skiing in Mont Blanc or Chamonix. Explore the Loire Valley’s ornate castles, inhale the crisp saline air as you wander along the rocky coast of Brittany, and drive from vineyard to vineyard in the wine-producing towns of Burgundy and Champagne.
The elegance of French cuisine is famous the world over, and at cozy family-owned bistros or bustling brasseries you’ll be able to taste classics such as duck confit, coq au vin, or choucroute garnie. Almost every village or neighborhood has a market where you’ll admire impeccably arranged fruits at the height of season and taste local charcuterie and delectable artisan cheese. And few people can resist passing by the window of a patisserie without darting in for pains au chocolat or tiny, jewel-toned macaron cookies.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in France
Northern France generally experiences warm summers and cold winters, while in the South of France, the summers are hot and the winters are mild. The most pleasant time to stay in a vacation rental in France is during spring and early fall, when you can expect mostly sunny and mild conditions for exploring both the cities and the countryside, as well as enjoying the many annual festivals and events. In late February and early March, the Carnival of Nice brings out parades, music, fireworks, and the famous Batailles des Fleurs (Battles of the Flowers).
In April the International Garden Festival showcases the best in garden design in the picturesque town of Amboise in the Loire Valley. In May, a world-famous film festival takes over the coastal city of Cannes, while In July, visitors descend on the small town of Menton for two weeks of concerts under the stars.
Top things to do in France
Mont Saint Michel
On the edge of a rocky island above the Normandy coastline in Northern France, Mont Saint Michel is a medieval town that looks from a distance like it’s straight out of a fairytale. At the heart of its narrow cobbled streets is the spectacular Benedictine Abbey, which is on the famous Way of Saint James pilgrimage — a spiritual journey that many still undertake today. The pathways here are windy and include many stairways, so wear a comfortable pair of walking shoes.
The French Riviera
Head to the South of France for beautiful coastal cities and the blue waters of the Mediterranean. Nice is the biggest city with glorious sea views, great shopping, and a selection of art museums. Cannes is famous for its film festival, while the coast's most popular stretch of beaches are in Antibes. Saint-Tropez also has beautiful beaches and attracts the rich and famous, while the quieter town of Villefranche-sur-Mer offers a more traditional Provencal experience.
Carcassonne
In the south of France, the city of Carcassonne is one of the finest examples of a medieval walled city in Europe. There are 52 towers and nearly two miles of ramparts, as well as the Canal du Midi, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Wander the narrow streets full of historic buildings, charming cafes, and small shops. The city also hosts a famous festival of music, dance, and theater in July.
