Properties part of the Gites de France organisation
where owners sign an official charter to ensure high
standards are maintained.
Properties with this symbol and all gites are
French owned so you are likely to find a coffee
machine, café au lait bowls and square pillows.
These properties are British owned so expect a
kettle, teapot, toaster, British shaped pillows and duvets
to make you feel at home. Caretakers may be French.
Away from it all - ideal for a peaceful holiday with
no neighbours.
In a country setting, expect the neighbours to be
animals, birds and butterflies, as well as farmers going
about their daily business.
In a village with some neighbours, maybe a simple
shop or two, and a church.
In anything from a country town to a big city.
Near a river or canal - see description.
Near a lake or large pond often with fishing.
Within 5k of the sea, the description will tell
whether it is in a town, village or rural setting.
In the mountains, perhaps reached by scenic but
slow mountain roads so allow for longer driving time,
and expect great views.
