Located in Ivry-sur-Seine – just outside Paris’ centre – this modern apartment offers a calm and comfortable base from which to explore the city and its wider area. 
 
Wood floors, vibrant pops of colour and contemporary furnishings create a warm welcome in the open-plan living area, bathed in light thanks to the glass doors that open up onto a private balcony. Start mornings here over fresh coffee and croissants while taking in the wide-sweeping skyline views, or gather here at night for a celebratory glass of French wine – you may even spot Disneyland’s fireworks in the distance. 
 
With a pair of comfortable bedrooms and a sleek bathroom boasting a rainfall shower, you’ve got everything you need for a carefree stay. 
 
Outside of your home, both Parc Kellermann and Fort d'Ivry are a twenty-five-minute walk away, while Chinatown is twenty minutes away on foot. You’re also a thirty-minute Metro ride from the Panthéon, and just under forty-five minutes from the Eiffel Tower by Metro too.

Located in the heart of Bordeaux's beautiful old town, this apartment embodies the class, style, and chicness of this city. The old stone building is the perfect first impression of Bordeaux, and stepping inside the apartment only confirms that this place is a gem of a find.

We love the classic details here – the original stone brick wall, the quintessentially French windows and the frame around the mirror. It's met with a modern design style that beautifully encapsulates the city – classic yet youthful. Your balcony offers a view of the street below, a lovely spot for enjoying a fresh cup of coffee and engaging in everyone's favourite past-time, people-watching. 

When it comes to seeing the city, you couldn't ask for a better location. You're a mere 200 metres from the lively Rue Sainte Catherine, the city's main artery, bursting with boutiques and shops. You're also steps away from Place Fernand Lafargue, lined with cafes and eateries. In such a fantastic location, seeing the city's many historical sights and points of interest comes with ease.

After a day of exploring, you can easily make your way back to your apartment to relax before heading out for dinner. You'll love sipping on a local bottle of wine (when in Bordeaux) and snacking on olives around the industrial chic-style table, with the warm-toned light fixtures setting the tone.

Boasting stunning views over the picturesque wooded hillsides of the Massif des Maures, this stone farmhouse has lots of space inside and out. Two of the single beds are up on a mezzanine level and younger children may need supervision on some of the staircases. That said, the kitchen is well equipped for family meals, and pets are welcome to join you. Sun loungers surround the infinity pool, and the large garden has room for alfresco dining. There's plenty of peace and quiet here, so we think you'll want a car for trips to Saint-Tropez, Nice, and Cannes.

Your spirits are quickly elevated as you weave your way through beautiful, patchwork hills at the foot of the spectacular Pyrénées mountains. Then, as you approach the little agricultural village, a lovely country road rolls over a hill and comes to the entrance, you begin your journey down the long, private drive. Nothing prepares you for the first glimpse of this enchanting château. The estate consists of a magnificent 19th-century château, an adjoining 16th-century farm, two separate cottages, and a magnificent 12th-century chapel, making it a historical treat.

Spend your days gazing out the balcony at the 360-degree views of stunning countryside and the Pyrénées beyond, and even get a cup of coffee to get your day started perfectly. This home has an abundance of options for keeping you entertained throughout your stay, from racing down the zip line for an adrenaline rush to boating along the little lake for a relaxing day drifting along, lured by your favourite book.

It is absolutely tranquil to be placed in six hectares of private gardens, yet you get the best of all worlds since numerous places are only a short drive away.

Herb Garden

Located in the middle of the Burgundy countryside, there's been a building on this site for around two centuries, something you might be able to tell from the wooden beams, flagstone flooring and thick stone walls. However, it's no longer a humble barn, but a luxurious French getaway.

In the intervening two hundred years, plenty has been added to aid in this transformation. Outside, the most notable change has been the building of a heated swimming pool in the middle of the lush grounds and even more recently — in 2021, in fact — a walled garden has been constructed holding over twenty types of herbs and soft fruits. If you time your visit just right, you might be able to pick cherries and grapes straight off the branch.

When the weather's being kind, there's everything from a boules court and swing to a barbecue on the terrace with outdoor speakers to enjoy. If, however, the clouds are ominously grey, you can keep yourselves occupied on the billiards table or home cinema setup instead.

The nearest village is only twenty-five minutes away on foot and offers all the charming bakeries, charcuteries and markets you could want. As well as that, the unspoilt Morvan Regional Nature Park that surrounds the address means the local area is perfect for long walks or cycle rides. If that sounds too tame, the Magny Cours circuit — a French Grand Prix venue — is only forty minutes' drive away.

The house is situated on the site of a medieval building dating back to the 11th century and was completed on the eve of the French Revolution. With 350 acres of land, along with the main house, an orangerie, and a farm, there's plenty of space to roam on this sprawling estate. Challenge your friends to a round of pool in the games room, sip wine in the sunny garden, or settle down with a good book in the library – however you want to spend your days, this home can cater to your every desire. And, when evening rolls around, you can serve up a delicious meal in the formal dining room,  created just for you by a private chef using local ingredients.

Fitness fans can play a game of tennis on the court or organise a workout class in the gym, before plunging into the outdoor swimming pool for a refreshing dip. If you prefer a slower pace, you can wander through twenty acres of parkland, then sweat out your stresses in the sauna or treat yourself to a long soak in the Jacuzzi. And, at the end of the day, the whole group can come together for a decadent meal in the formal dining room – don't forget some local wine too. 

The Natural Regional Park of the Ariège Pyrénées is right on your doorstep, and you can explore the landscapes on foot or on two wheels – your host will even provide eight bicycles.

With its secluded, heated pool, this elegant apartment housed in a 16th-century building in Uzès is the perfect French retreat. This charming restored home is full of character, from the remarkable circular stone staircase and wooden ceiling beams to the old stone floors. We love the gracious living room with its views over the fig and bamboo trees, the pool and the town's rooftops.

Set on a 17th-century estate spanning over 40 acres of land, this extravagant chateau was restored by a former artistic director of Dior jewellery who creatively combined classic styles in harmony with the home's historic roots with modern design and luxurious amenities. 

It's no wonder that the chateau is listed under the French National Trust – as its majestic ambience, married with its impressive facade, gardens, and interiors, make for a truly magical stay beyond the norm. Across the grounds, you'll find centuries-old trees, expansive grassy lawns, flower gardens and two private swimming pools for guests to use at their disposal. 

Spend leisurely days playing badminton, petanque and croquet, riding the château's bikes or swinging by the tall trees. Sport-loving guests also benefit from tennis membership at a club nearby and an 18-hole golf course – and horse-riding opportunities within short driving distance. 

Get lost inside the castle's drop-dead gorgeous living spaces. This home is sure to impress, from drawing rooms to lounge areas, office space, and a truly one-of-a-kind enormous chef's kitchen. Around every corner lies refined details, antique treasures and an infinity of elegance. 

Situated between the picturesque towns of Dieppe and Fécamp – you'll be just a five-minute drive away from the beaches along the Alabaster coastline in this magnificent part of Normandy. Also within easy reach from the chateau and well worth a visit is one of France's 'Plus Beaux Villages', Veules les Roses – a fifteen-minute drive away. Here you'll find an idyllic setting filled with thatched cottages – wander along the delightful river passing by the watermills or relax by the beach promenade where you can sample the famous 'Veulaise' oysters.

Rose Garden Romance

Stair Gates

Set amidst the French countryside, this gorgeous retreat offers the French countryside experience with an added touch of Mediterranean charm. You'll be blown away by the quaint, idyllic scenes found both inside and outside of this home. We particularly love the enormous, curved Orangerie style backdoor which paves the way to the magical garden setting featuring a shaded alfresco dining area, day beds and a crystal clear pool – divine for a refreshing dip during the height of summer in the south of France. Back inside, the stunning open-plan kitchen-living area ensures a sociable stay for the whole group to enjoy together. The kitchen in particular will excite guests who are fond of cooking as the large central island makes it perfect for group cooking sessions. Why not book for a private chef to come and give you French cooking lessons? You'll also find that the local area allows guests to experience French culture at its finest. Mornings are for market visits here, so head on down into the local village, just a three-minute walk away where you'll find a lady named Patricia who sells fresh fruit and vegetables every Monday and Wednesday morning in the central square, Place de la Fontaine. Better still, visit on a Saturday as this is the main market day for the villagers to stock up on fresh meat, fish, cheese, truffles, wine and flowers. It's safe to say that such a warm and friendly atmosphere is hard to come by in France, if you're not in a rural village like this one.

Maison Orangerie

Free Parking

Overlooking the Mayenne River, this newly renovated apartment is the perfect setting for a group getaway to the charming town of Laval. Don’t let the understated exterior here fool you – inside is a modern home cloaked in warm, wooden tones and fully equipped with all the amenities you need for a comfortable stay in the heart of western France. Sit back and relax in the simple but stylish living area, catch up on some work at the dining room table, or step outside and soak up views of the river from your own private terrace. Whatever you fancy, this place has got you covered. 

When it’s time to explore, you’ll find yourself within easy reach of all the town’s major attractions so why not make the most of it? Go for a picnic in Perrine Garden, soak up some local history at Château de Laval, or treat yourself to a gentle stroll along the river before heading home for a relaxing evening in with the rest of your entourage. We don’t know about you, but we can’t think of a better way to spend the day. 

Rousseau's Sanctuary

Rooftop Terrace

It's not every day you find a place with two outdoor spaces in the heart of a city. This gem of a home is putting an end to the idea that being in the city centre automatically means forfeiting space. Here, location, style, comfort, and luxury have beautifully been combined to bring you a showstopper. 

There's a lot to love here, from the contemporary interior to the fantastic location, but the outdoor space takes the cake. There's something wonderful about waking up in the morning and stepping straight outside to feel the sun on your face, and here, you get that small but special treat from each bedroom. Invigorating fresh coffees in the sun are the perfect way to start the day. Whether you're on the rooftop terrace or the patio, you'll feel a far cry from the hustle and bustle of Bordeaux city centre, despite being close to all the action.

Exploring Bordeaux comes easy here. You're just a five-minute walk from the tram, which takes you all across the city. Or, you can take to the wine metropolis on foot – you're just 1.5km away from the historic centre. There, you can take a walk along the famous promenade which is lined by restaurants and bars, discover the city's museums, and spot some notable sights, like the 11th-century Bordeaux Cathedral. 

However you spend your day, you'll love coming home to your bright, welcoming home. Take the spiral stairs up to the rooftop terrace, armed with a bottle of local wine, to watch the sky envelop into hues of reds and oranges at dusk. When dinner rolls around, your kitchen is perfectly equipped for whipping up meals at home. But if you don't feel like cooking, there are several brilliant restaurants nearby, ready to welcome you. 

City Tropicale

This adorable home has everything to suggest it's tucked away in a French village, but it's in the heart of cosmopolitan Rennes. Even the enchanting courtyard will have you convinced you've stepped into a storybook world, not at the foot of St. Peter's Cathedral.

When stepping into this secret garden courtyard, we're practically waiting for Gaston and the townspeople to burst out of the windows and break into song. The sprawling foliage and quaint buildings provide a place where time stands still and you can break away from the thoughts of daily life. First impressions count, and this one will be lasting. 

Inside the cosy home, the owner has thoughtfully cloaked the interior in a modern preference for mid-century design, with a warm-toned colour palette that is vibrant yet soothing. And with plenty of ambience-setting lighting, this home exudes a comforting homeliness. We imagine you'll want to spend a lot of your time soaking up the place – preparing dinner in the well-equipped kitchen to be enjoyed around the beautiful dining table, before getting snug on the plush sofas with a warming hot chocolate beneath the ceiling's original beams. 

While it's easy to spend a lot of time in this calming cottage, it's only right to explore when you're in such a fantastic location. Whether you want to see the city on foot, by bike, by bus, or by metro, it's all readily available here. You're in the heart of Rennes' historical centre, away from the hustle and bustle but close to its charming cobbled streets and historical sights. 

Belle's Chaumière

With an authentic French country-chic feel expertly coupled with all the contemporary mod-cons you would expect, this gorgeous gîte provides you with the perfect base from which to set out and explore the many delights of its picturesque surroundings. 

Nestled in the rolling countryside of Mortagne-sur-Sèvre and boasting a large, south-facing garden complete with gently bubbling brook running through it, the outdoor areas of this home strongly influence its interiors – which themselves exude the rustic old-world charm and light-dappled cosiness typical of rural France.

Whether it's your first cup of coffee out on the terrace in the morning, or a flavourful sip of wine overlooking the water as dinner simmers away in the kitchen, this home invites you to drink in everything which makes this area and the way of life it fosters so unique.

Stony Brook Style

Throws

Nestled within a charming street, moments from the 18th-century gilded and decorated Place Stanislas, this apartment offers an idyllic spot to explore Nancy. The interior balances neutral tones, natural textures, and earthy prints – it’s a city oasis. And whether you’re here with a culturally-packed itinerary, on a business excursion, or for a spontaneous city break, this is the kind of home that suits the needs of the most discerning traveller. 

The dual-concept living area is swathed in natural textures, rattan and wicker furnishings, and a bespoke tree wallpaper. Open up the doors off of the kitchen as you fire off some project notes at the elegant table before enjoying a flaky croissant in the private courtyard. This is a tranquil space, with a plump sofa for sharing a glass or two of locally-produced Gamay and a charming dining table for enjoying the produce you picked up from the local market. You’ll find the ambient lights in the bedroom set the tone for page-turning and restful slumbers.  

When you’re ready to explore, the city’s cultural and culinary highlights are all within walking distance. From ambling the gardens of Parc de la Pépinière to dining along the Meurthe riverbanks during the golden hour, you’re in an idyllic setting to experience the city.

Le Jardin de Nancy

Perched cliffside above the beach of Saint-Énogat, this apartment offers idyllic sea views and makes the perfect setting for a restorative retreat on the Emerald Coast. 

From the outset, you’ll want to pause and admire the striking facade of this building – it evokes a wonderful sense of tradition and ushers you inside with a warm welcome. Head up one flight of stairs and you’ll find this apartment adds a contemporary touch to the rustic charm of its setting. From the light-filled living room styled in calming tones to the simple bedroom (with its own private balcony), every detail inspires a wonderful sense of relaxation. 

Enjoy quiet mornings with a coffee listening to the sound of the waves, sip refreshing drinks as the sunsets and prepare simple meals inspired by the fresh local produce – Saint-Énogat’s weekly market is just a short walk away. And when you’re refreshed and ready to explore, wander straight down to the beach or visit the beautiful coves and towns dotted along the coast – Saint-Malo is less than a twenty-five-minute drive away.

Maison Perle

Mosquito Net

At foot of the Mont Ventoux, in the heart of Vaucluse, nestled between centuries-old oaks and flowers, this charming home is perfect for a couple looking to get away from it all. First and foremost, with a pretty south-east facing garden, furnished terrace and private swimming pool, there's plenty of outdoor space to while away sun-soaked afternoons in the French countryside, with nothing but the sound of the chirping birds to interrupt your rest and relaxation. 

Inside the cottage, appealing artwork adorns the walls and a ruby-red colour palette runs throughout the open-plan kitchen, living and dining space to make for warm and welcoming interiors that will quickly have you feeling right at home. There's a different look in the bedroom with muted grey tones and palm-themed wallpaper to lull you into your restful slumbers with ease, ready for a day of exploring in the morning. 

Location-wise, you've struck gold. While the quaint commune of Carpentras, with its mini-markets, cosy bakeries, cafés, shops and restaurants, is right on your doorstep, you can also reach a number of interesting cities and tourist attractions within minutes. You're a thirty-two-minute drive from Avignon, forty minutes from Gordes, and only twenty-five minutes by car from the Grotte de Thouzon caves, just to name a few. 

The French Garden

Desk

Resting quietly in the picturesque village of Gouaix, you’ll find this charming townhouse. Lovingly restored, it offers a comfortable place to stay on your French adventure, while still showcasing the original features that make this home so special. The grand spiral staircase and exposed stone wall are particular eye-catchers in the living area and the lightness of decor throughout make this a tranquil retreat truly befitting of its location in this peaceful village. There’s even a mezzanine office area should you need to catch up on work while you’re away, although it will be hard to focus when there’s so much to explore around you.

If you’re itching to get outdoors, the nearby National Nature Reserve of La Bassée is a must-see, where an abundance of fauna and flora await. For those who love a little history, a visit to the mediaeval city of Provins, a Unesco World Heritage Site, promises a memorable day out. Further afield, Paris is only an hour away, should you fancy a visit to the city of love. 

Closer to home, there are some fantastic hikes from and near Gouaix. After expending some energy, return to your cosy retreat, uncork a bottle of fabulous French wine, and relax with loved ones as you reminisce over the day.
