The Sources
Maël's house is beautiful. The luxury of a hotel in the comfort of a house in Champagne. The accommodation offers everything you need for a relaxing, carefree stay where you feel at home. Everything is super clean, tidy, of quality and in excellent condition. The beds and bedding are of hotel quality, as are the touches in the bathrooms. Maël is a great host, very attentive and responsive. An immense pleasure to stay with him!

Nice cottage in the Gorges du Verdon with views
We had a nice time,although the weather was always good for a surprise. The area was ideal for hiking and exploring. Landscape a dream. Many thanks again to Manon's father. Those who love nature are well taken care of here.

Cap au P'tit Pont bed and breakfast with hot tub and private pool
A cottage with plenty of qualities in a natural and relaxing environment. Whether you want to rest, have fun, play sports, everything is there. Estelle is a responsive and caring host in all the rooms of the cottage. We will be happy to go back and have our eyes closed. Thanks Estelle for this stay

Stone house near the forest
I came to find a quiet break, I was delighted! The space is extremely quiet. Simple decoration mixing ancient and modern ♥️ The room is bathed in light in the morning. Many walks to do nearby.

* La Mariposa * Private Jacuzzi - Terrace - Parking
Quiet cottage, everything is thought of so that we lack nothing, the decor is nice and it is impeccably clean. Several nice little restaurants in the village, the host's guide is well stocked for ideas for walks around. In short, I recommend it for a good time for two 👍👍👍

Maison Nina Exceptional Suite 1
Beautiful 🤩 is really the right word for this place! Everything was so clean and pretty. Responsive host and really impeccable cleanliness. I recommend this Airbnb for a relaxing time of total relaxation, a real rest! For now, it's the best I could have had to stay, not to mention the breakfast, a small gesture in the closet at the top before departure

Fontenelle: quiet between springs and stream
Excellent stay at Agnès and Rémi's place. Both are charming people and their discussions are very rich. The setting is simply ideal, if you're looking for nature and tranquility.

Le Jardin de Kama - House with Private Jacuzzi
We had a great time. We wanted to relax. It was perfect because the calm and tranquility reigned. Everything was clean and very well maintained. The accommodation is great. I highly recommend it!
Apartments in France

"Le Grand Bleu" Apartment beach front
Impeccable apartment, very well decorated and equipped, including games for children, with a really magnificent view (sunsets over the sea!) where it was easy and pleasant to stay, thanks also to the very easy communication with Edwige.

Amazing apartment in le Marais
The apartment was beautiful, well provisioned, and close to 3 metro stops, pharmacies, markets and restaurants. When my daughter sprained her ankle, Nathalie not only recommended where to get an ankle brace, but brought over some cream to help with the pain. She then checked in a few days later to see how we were doing. The apartment has a lot of light, and a park across the street. With the southern exposure, it can get warm in the apartment on warm sunny days, especially if you forget to pull the curtains before leaving! The fan was a big help in cooling things down though.

LYON2/center/Célestins/Bellecour/Vieux Lyon
This little tucked away apartment is absolutely stunning. Very secure, and everything is within walkable distance. It's right in the middle of the Old Town. The apartment is very quiet and just gorgeous. The bed is so comfortable, and the atmosphere of the place is so relaxing. Our host was absolutely amazing and so responsive. They have thought of everything to make it stay unforgettable. This place is a definately must if you're a couple visiting Lyon. Thank you Delphine and Karim, and family. Just beautiful.

Blue Fairy - sea view with master suite
Our family of 3 stayed 11 nights at David's apartment in Nice and it was amazing. The location along the Promenade was a long walk from Old Nice but it offered the most amazing views of the entire Promenade and the sea, and the local neighborhood was charming and walkable. It was only a 10-minute car ride to the central train station, which is so convenient for traveling everywhere in the French Riviera. We attended the Monaco Grand Prix and the round-trip was really easy. Inside, the living room was spacious, bright and airy thanks to the large glass doors opening onto the Promenade. The master bedroom was also quite roomy with plenty of closets and a private balcony. The second bedroom was significantly smaller yet bright and featured a well-appointed adjacent bathroom. David and his team were incredibly professional and responsive to minor requests, and their communication is a model for other managers on Airbnb. We would highly recommend this unit for anyone staying in the Nice!
Gambetta's View. 50m2, comfort
Brussaigne’s apartment was absolutely gorgeous and exactly matched the photos. It was clean and very spacious, and it had everything we needed. The place is very walkable to lots of downtown shopping, restaurants, and the waterfront. Brussaigne was a very responsive host and helped with all our questions.

Little Venice apartment, hyper center, quiet
Perfect location in the midst of the town, many amenities and resources provided, quiet, comfortable. So many restaurants around and we particularly recommend Le Zinc. Colmar is a beautiful place.

Cosy studio near Eiffel Tower
Beautiful place to be for a dream vacation!

*Cosy and refurbished, 5 min from Paris + Parking*
Nice stay, comfortable bed and a nice shower!
Castles in France

Château Stables with Truffle Orchard
It felt like we were in a beautiful dream staying here. The stables were perfectly located near all the attractions we wanted to see in the Loire Valley. The interior was decorated better than our own home. The garden was the perfect place for our children to run and explore. The home’s keeper, Leo was so nice that our children are now missing her. The bikes were easy to use and made exploring the area so fun. The best part was brining in food from nearby makers to eat at the table outside as a family and watch the sunset. We are so thankful for our stay here.

Life in Pink - Avenue de Champagne Epernay
Franck’s place is a true gem in Épernay! The location is unbeatable – just step out the front door onto the iconic Avenue de Champagne. All the great Champagne houses are an easy walk away, making it the perfect base for tastings and strolls. The apartment is clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. It’s big enough to relax after a day out, with a cosy bed, plenty of space, and everything you need for a short or longer stay. Parking was a huge bonus – secure off-street and hassle-free, which is rare in such a central location! We loved the French charm of the space and how peaceful it felt despite being in the heart of town. The mornings were quiet, the evenings full of golden light and bubbly memories. Franck was a kind, welcoming, and responsive host, making check-in and the entire stay smooth and enjoyable. If you're visiting Épernay, this is exactly where you want to be – charmant, pratique et superbement situé. Merci Franck – à la prochaine!

OLD PRESBYTERY - 17th Century
We LOVED our stay at Nathalie's lovely home, nestled among the vineyards. Exactly as advertised, if not better, it was a beautiful home, nicely decorated and both spacious and cozy. The beds were comfortable - important when staying as long as we did - and we had all the modern amenities we needed in this very old "castle". We had no trouble getting Ubers/taxis into Bordeaux proper when we needed to and it was nice to enjoy the peace and quiet of the location. Even better than the house itself, Nathalie was a very gracious, extremely helpful host. She helped us arrange a chef to cook for us on our first night there and even selected an array of wines to go along with our meal. She was very responsive leading up to our stay and throughout. If you want a relaxing and luxurious stay near Bordeaux, definitely book this location. I hope to come back!

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!

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!

Luxuary Lodge Manoir de la Mazeraie Loire Valley
This was one of the most exceptional Airbnb’s we have ever had the pleasure of staying in. The little guest house was immaculate and absolutely beautiful! It felt like we were guest’s in Alexia’s home. She welcomed us and showed us everything we needed to know. In addition, she offered breakfast baskets that were filled with local bread, pastries, honey, jams, and apple juice! Every single detail was wonderful! It was a lovely place of respite in the midst of a busy tour of France. Highly recommend this to anyone looking for an unusual, peaceful, and gorgeous place to unwind in the Tours area.

The ultimate DDay experience
Wonderful stay at Marie’s place! Sooo beautiful! The ONLY reason we gave it 4 stars on location was because it was out of town. We walked to and from town but it was a good jaunt after a day of touring! 😬 would stay again! It was fun having their pup greet us each day!

Chateau Gué Chapelle
Beautiful castle that we booked for a chic bachelor party. Wow effect guaranteed. The place is extremely clean, the appliances are solid in the kitchen. Lots of dishes to accommodate groups. The rooms are huge and the mattresses very comfortable. The bathrooms are very nice too. The whole place is really well maintained, the outdoor spaces too. It's a great value. Special mention to Céu who warmly welcomed us. I recommend the Agape bakery, a 10-minute drive away.
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.
