Explore France’s landscape, culture and cuisine from our collection of inspiring places to stay.

Our collection of places to stay is your shortcut to pale stone gîtes with the shutters thrown back, dappled sunlight in the courtyards of hilltop vineyards, quiet coves washed by warm Mediterranean waters and nights of music and romance in the glow of Paris cafés.

We travel the country, meeting people and finding places that let you experience every part of diverse, marvellous France. Get a new perspective on favourite destinations like the Dordogne, Bordeaux and Provence, or discover the river valleys of the Ardeche, the meadows of the summer Alps and the untamed hills of Jura.

The gîte is one France’s travel icons, drawing visitors for centuries. It’s as much a feeling as a type of place, with the simplicity of rural life at its heart. We visit every gîte in our collection, checking for the character and charm that give you a real experience of this French classic, but we also look for owners who will introduce you to the place they live and love.

Villas in the south of France

Nothing conjures a clearer picture in the mind than the words, “villa in the south of France”. They bring with them a whole feeling of sun-drenched drowsiness, warm grass and billowing linen. We’ve personally inspected every single one in our collection, so you can trust that you’ll find the sort of place you’re dreaming of, then breeze down to the beach for days of sun, sea, hilltop vineyards and balmy al fresco meals.
