Beautifully modernised and an architectural dream, this home will be the backdrop to a memorable stay. Nature is brought indoors tastefully through materials and textures, reminiscent of the stunning surrounding garden and beach on your doorstep. Downstairs is open plan and flooded with light – the ideal space for entertaining a large gathering of loved ones. Towering skylights offer a peak at the stars as you relax in front of the log burner on those cooler evenings. Each bedroom is clean and modern with a soft chalk colour palette, tastefully breaking up the serenity of white. We love how each room has a beam of French sunlight creating stunning shadow patterns through the unique windows. 

During summer, enjoy breakfast alfresco on your classic wooden terrace. The deck chairs are tucked around the corner to pop your feet up if you fancy a slower morning, feeling the gentle breeze on your face. Residing moments away from the glistening coastline means all the seaside entertainment is at your fingertips. You won’t need to leave your garden to have a memorable afternoon, however, with a ping pong table and other activities at home to enjoy. Pour yourself a glass of fine French wine, fire up the barbecue and you'll be in for a wonderful stay.

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.

Stay at this 19th century chateau in the Loire valley for an experience of history and extravagance. Large enough for family gatherings and celebrations with friends, the home is grandiose both inside and out. Built by a nobleman two centuries ago, this chateau has been restored to perfection and the grounds are just as impressive and magnificent in terms of upkeep and scale. Spend days cycling around the property. Let the kids fish in the lake or dip in the pool, and marvel at the animals on site. For the adults, book a tennis lesson or in-house massage in the drawing room and enjoy that French joie de vivre topped off with local food and wine. Look out for shooting stars and promise to all meet again at this property in the future (you wouldn’t be the first).

Situated in a quiet village close to the Brittany coastline, there's an air of nobility to the handsome white facade of this townhouse surrounded by idyllic grounds and this impression continues behind the front door.

High ceilings and tall windows make for palatial proportions in many of the rooms, especially the lavish bedrooms and the living room with its chandelier and vintage-style furnishings. By contrast, other spaces have been modernised, like the chic white kitchen which is plenty large enough for cooking up Breton-inspired feasts.

As well as scoring high in the style stakes, there's plenty to keep guests entertained here. On the top floor, a games room with a pool table and board games is sure to be welcome on rainy afternoons, while the three terraces, large garden and hot tub will all see lots of use when the weather's a little warmer.

In local Muzillac, there's a good choice of restaurants and bars a short walk from the home, while you won't be short of ways to fill a day in the wider area.  Beaches along the Brittany coastline are easily reached in the car, as are Brière Natural Regional Park and the city of Vannes.

This modern home blends in beautifully with its surroundings. The natural stone-clad exterior hides a plush interior filled with soft, velvet couches, wooden floors, an open-hearth fireplace and bedrooms that look as if they belong in a boutique hotel. There’s a grand dining table with sumptuous chairs where you can enjoy a home-cooked meal prepared in the slick black-and-white kitchen. Outside, the heated swimming pool and sun deck have views over grassy fields to where the Loire meets the wild Atlantic. The best part is that you’re just 100 metres from the sea and long, lazy days on the beach. On rare cooler evenings, light up the fireplace and settle in for a movie marathon.

Nice to haves

Sitting within a 100-hectare estate that dates back to the 18th century, this marvellous home was once the residence of an important general during conflicts following the French Revolution. Given this impressive heritage, it's perhaps no surprise to learn that the interior still retains a sense of grandeur. However, don't confuse this with dusty and staid – as the locals might say, there's a joie de vivre to be discovered at the address.

Much of this is down to the interior design, which mixes together antique furnishings, bold print wallpaper and portraits hanging in every room. We love the lavish dining table set under a chandelier, but also appreciate the modern additions as well – we're fairly sure the aforementioned general didn't have the games room to keep him occupied while he was holed up here, but we're willing to stand corrected.

It's a similar story outside. The well-kempt gardens and rosebeds make for a charming backdrop as you stroll about the grounds, but you're also more than welcome to take a dip in the swimming pool or play a match or two of tennis on the private court. There's equipment for badminton or volleyball too if they're more your sport.

There's a lot to discover in the surrounding Vendée, as well. The sweeping beaches on the Pays de la Loire coastline start from as close as 30km away, while galleries and restaurants in the vibrant city of Nantes lie 43km to the north. A little closer to home, the nearest village is 2.5km away and has a pair of bakeries, a supermarket and a restaurant to tide you over.

Situated 25 kilometres away from the sea, take days out to the nearest sandy shores (Bares Beach), just a twenty-minute drive away. Within closer proximity, visit the sports harbour (8 kilometres away), a nine-hole golf course (5 kilometres away) and a children's playground – only 200 metres from your front door. Not to mention, there is an array of walking paths to be explored, offering fresh air and plenty of stunning views of the local nature.

Later head over to the comfortable bedroom for a night of restful sleep – wake up feeling refreshed and enjoy a cup of coffee at the table gazing out at the greenery outside. 

When you’re ready to go out and discover Nantes, you’ll find plenty to keep you busy here, including Nantes Cathedral and the Castle of the Dukes of Brittany, the latter being a fifteen-minute walk away.

Artsy & Intimate

Throws

Situated high in the heart of the city, this charming apartment exudes classic beauty. With a contemporary feel, this home has still managed to maintain its traditional charm with rustic floors and a restored fireplace. The bedrooms are spacious and tastefully decorated ensuring you have a peaceful night's sleep, ready to take on the day. Wake in the morning, pop on your coffee machine and plan for a day of sightseeing and shopping in Nantes. 

We love the living and dining space here, it’s just perfect for a sociable evening at home. Open a bottle of French wine and you have the most magnificent backdrop to reminisce about your day. The towering windows let in the warm sunshine and bathe the room in light – take a peek through to see the world go by below. Should you opt for an evening in to whip up a lovely meal with some local produce rather than dine out at one of the many restaurants in the area, you have a well-equipped kitchen to do so. With a homely design and ideal location, this home has everything you need for a delightful French experience. 

Chic City Heart

Nestled in Nantes, not far from the city centre, you’ll find this charming apartment. Exuding elegance, this is a home that has character that it wants to show off. Calming pastel colours in the living area sit alongside a feature wall with the most stunning wallpaper – it certainly packs a punch. We love the contemporary hanging light bulbs over the dining table, and the comfortable sofa just invites you to sink into it and relax.

A yellow palette flows throughout this home, bright in the kitchen but more muted in the bedrooms, it gives the apartment a sunny, tranquil feel. A small balcony provides the perfect spot for a morning coffee, so switch the machine on when you wake up, and stroll out to enjoy an alfresco drink as the city wakes beneath you. 

When you’re ready to explore, you’re well placed to do so with the Place Royale and Place Graslin just a ten-minute walk from your apartment. For food lovers, the Talensac market is not to be missed with around 150 stalls offering local produce – the seafood from here is particularly special. Stock up on some local treats and head back home where they can be enjoyed in the company of your loved ones, as you reminisce over a day well spent. 

Pastel Fantastic

When you're travelling alone or as part of a duo, there are far too many one-bedroom or studio apartments that offer cramped or subpar lounges or kitchens. However, this home – in the centre of Nantes, no less – is ideal for those who refuse to compromise when it comes to their living quarters.

Not only is there a generous amount of room behind the front door, but whoever was in charge of the design clearly has impeccable taste. The stark white walls covered in artwork, vintage furnishings and digital piano lend the creative feel of an artists' studio, while the sleek black kitchen will please those with culinary talents. We're also fond of the pair of Juliet balconies, which offer opportunities for a spot of people-watching down below.

Perhaps best of all, the bulk of Nantes' top attractions lie within walking distance from the home, from the peaceful île de Versailles five minutes' walk north to the charming old town that sits even closer. There's no end of restaurants, cafes and markets waiting to be discovered close by, too.

Creative Spark

We love the natural light in this fun apartment near the centre of Nantes. On the third floor of a typical period building, it's in a great spot on a popular shopping street at the foot of Pommeraye Passage. Whether you're here for business or pleasure, and whether you're a solo traveller or a small family, it's sweet, sophisticated and we think it's pretty stylish.

Small but perfectly formed, its open living space is partly divided with a handy kitchenette, a sofa and a dining table that could double as a desk if you'll be working during your stay. There's a calm and quiet main bedroom, a shower room and a special extra space up the open ladder stairs in the living room – a mezzanine that could easily sleep a third guest. Facing a courtyard, it's an oasis of calm that we think you'll love.



Acoustic Sketches

Whether you’re visiting Nantes on business or planning a family holiday in the city, this bright apartment situated close to the historic centre is a great place to base yourself. You’ll benefit from the convenient location as well as all the comforts offered by this home. 

The inside boasts a large open-plan living and dining room, with plenty of space to kick back and relax after a long day of exploring. Lounge about on the comfy sofa and settle in for an evening of wine and movies in the company of your loved ones. While there’s no shortage of great restaurants in Nantes, you may also opt for a quiet evening in, in which case the well-stocked kitchen will make rustling up a quick and delicious supper a work of mere moments. You can share your meals at the dining table, and there’s also a lovely balcony here, where you can enjoy an after-dinner drink or a morning cup of coffee. 

For a night of restful sleep you’ll have a choice of two equally comfy bedrooms – wake up feeling refreshed and ready for another day of Nantes adventures. 

You’ll find countless delicious dining options in the vicinity, and you’ll be only a short walk from the heart of the city, with buses and trams on your doorstep too. 

The French Sunflower 

This lovely duplex apartment may be compact in size, but its many vibrant shades of green and close proximity to all the sights make it an ideal base for a couple on a romantic trip to Nantes. We think you’ll love the warm, welcoming vibes of this little gem, and the central location is certainly an added bonus too. 

While there are quite a few stairs to climb before reaching the front door, it’ll be worth it once you arrive inside, greeted by a cheerful and light-filled interior. The open-plan living and dining area on the bottom level provides more than enough space to kick back and relax after a day of dashing about town, and that plush sofa is simply impossible to resist – and frankly, why would you even try to resist lounging on top of it, settled in for an evening of movies and French wine. Should you wish to stay in and rustle up a quick and delicious supper, the modern kitchen has you covered, with all the essentials necessary to dazzle your companion with your culinary skills. 

Head up the stairs to find a charming bedroom, complete with generous storage space and a dedicated desk, should you need to catch up on some laptop duties during your stay. 

Outside you’ll find yourself just a short walk from the city and centre and all its landmarks, as well as many great shops and restaurants. You can also take the river shuttle across the Loire to the charming old fishing village of Trentemoult,  known for its colourful houses, traditional bistros and creperies.

Romancing the Emerald 

Bike Shed

This beautifully bright twelfth-floor apartment wouldn’t be out of place in a Manhattan skyscraper. Yet cast your eyes over the panoramic views from its floor-to-ceiling windows and private terrace and you’ll see you’re in Nantes’ new Euronantes neighbourhood.

Filled with natural light and boasting a cool, contemporary decor, the open-plan living space offers bird’s eye vistas across the city whether you’re kicking back on the sofa with a glass of wine or sitting down to a celebratory meal at the dining table. 

Our favourite feature, though, has to be the private terrace – ideal for starting mornings over alfresco coffees and croissants or sipping a sundowner as the light fades over the rooftops, you’ll love having this scenic outdoor space from which to contemplate your modern surroundings. 

Factor in the three comfortable bedrooms – one of which has access to the terrace and one which boasts a desk space – and you’ve got everything you need for a relaxing time. 

Outside of your home, Nantes’ Centre-Ville is a twenty-five minute walk away where you’ll find the Place Royale and the Château des ducs de Bretagne, while the beautiful banks of the Loire – perfect for afternoon ambles – are just a short stroll from your home.

This apartment offers a sumptuous interior – think plush velvet furnishing, a rich blue colour palette and gold accents. The textures of this home are thoughtful and refined – the cafe-style breakfast table is a delight to sip your morning coffee from, and the crushed velour chairs are a perfect spot to unwind with a glass of Muscadet after a day exploring the Château des ducs de Bretagne.

Step out of your apartment and amble along the canal with a crêpe in hand. Spend the morning perusing the Le Lieu Unique cultural centre before settling in for lunch at a local bistrots serving up regional classics. Spend the afternoon exploring the Jardin des Plantes before catching a performance at the Théâtre Graslin.

Bleu D'Or

Located in the centre of Nantes, this stylish apartment is an idyllic base for a family or group of friends seeking a cultural break in a beautiful city. Peruse the shops and restaurants along Rue Maréchal Joffre, while being a short walk from the Musée d'Arts de Nantes, the Botanical Garden, and the Château des ducs de Bretagne.

Stepping inside, the apartment has a Parisian feel running through it, with traditional wooden floorboards, ornate ceiling mouldings, and wrought-iron Juliet balconies. We love how your host has transformed the home with a modern aesthetic – from the marble fireplaces to the vibrant artworks, stylish furnishings and curated houseplants – it's the perfect open-plan space to return to after a day of exploring. 

There's a desk space for those working from home, while the bedrooms are rustic and cosy, ensuring a restful night's sleep. Start your day with freshly-brewed coffee and a croissant around the elegant dining table as you plan the day’s itinerary, then step out to get going right away.

Overlooking the Loire river and sitting in the heart of Loire-Anjou-Touraine Regional Natural Park, this home's spot on the map is perfect for those in thrall to the French countryside and the large plant-filled garden – almost as large as the house itself – gives you plenty of space and seating to bask in this picturesque scenery.

There's something equally charming about the home's interior, with a range of design influences on display, from rustic wooden ceiling beams and the period fireplace to bursts of bold floral wallpaper and mid-century-inspired furnishings. Given the small guest count, the kitchen is perhaps more generously sized than you might have anticipated and finished off with pretty tiles, too.

When it comes to seeing a little more of the bucolic region, there are ample wine estates and castles to discover, as well as two characterful towns that are easily reached by car. The nearest, Saumur, is the French capital of horses with exhibits and equestrian shows to catch, while Angers is slightly further away and is renowned for its medieval architecture and cultural institutions.

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

Serene mornings tucking into breakfast on your private terrace and evenings watching the sunset over the sea will be part of your daily routine in this apartment. The seafront is right on your doorstep so you never have to go far to enjoy the breeze and immerse yourself in nature. As if that weren’t enough, the Quiberon Golf course is a fifteen-minute walk away and Sofitel Quiberon Thalassa Sea & Spa is even closer, so you can indulge in thalassotherapy treatments and massages, relax in the sauna and play a game of golf all in one day. Having said that, days at home making your favourite meals, sipping cocktails after dinner and binge-watching films are not to be neglected.

Converted from a fourteenth-century nunnery in a village near the historic town of Poitiers, The Priory Tower is surrounded by valleys, ponds, and woods in all directions. It’s a quiet area, with a peace disturbed only by the occasional church bells, or birdsong. The local markets around here are overflowing with produce (this part of France remains an agricultural centre), and if you want to get away from civilisation, there are all manner of trails, lakes and rivers to explore. As a home, The Priory Tower feels like a part of France that got left in the past, away from the bustle and stress of modern life, and that’s quite a special feeling.

In a rural village in one of the sunniest regions of France, tucked next to a historic church lies a medieval priory, converted from a Manor house in the fourteenth century to a truly magical home. The interiors are the highest quality and feel both historic and luxurious, while outside picturesque gardens are surrounded by an original stone wall. The pool looks out over unbeatable vistas of the surrounding hills. The host can even arrange al fresco evening meals on the terrace, if that should take your fancy. There's also an abundance of walks on and around the property to uncover, as well as multiple local vineyards, historic villages and countryside visits well within reach.

A sharp contrast to the ancient city of Vannes, this modern apartment offers all of the home comforts needed for a desirable stay for two along the Gulf of Morbihan. Set in a traditional stone building in La Madeleine, you're surrounded by cosy cafés, bakeries, mini-markets and restaurants, while the narrow cobbled streets of Old Vannes are a ten-minute walk from your doorstep. 

From ornamental marble fireplaces and velvet armchairs to abundant natural light and vibrant pops of colour, every decorative detail has been lovingly considered to create a calm and comfortable pad for your return each day. So whether you're enjoying a cuppa' tea in the living room or having a French breakfast at the window-side dining table, it's easy to settle in and feel right at home. 

When it's time to head out, you're a short ten-minute stroll from the Garden of the Ramparts, while Port de Vannes and Porte Saint-Vincent are no more than fifteen minutes away on foot. It's a commune that's rich in history and culture, so there's always something to see and do here.

Lemon Madeleine

This pretty half-timbered house from the 17th century is located right in the heart of the fairytale-esque Breton town of Dinan and comfortably accommodates up to four guests in its quirky, lovingly-decorated interior that boast its own unique character. 

With a charming blend of original wood features, painted frescos, eye-catching mosaic tiles, and picture frame windows that let in plenty of light, the home feels like it has been lifted from the pages of a Brothers Grimm fairytale. Open up the windows on the ground floor and be greeted by the gentle hum of everyday French village life beyond its pane, allowing the sunlight to stream in whilst you linger over breakfast or a book. 

Step over the threshold and you'll find yourself in the midst of things here in Dinan, with everything from boulangeries to historical attractions right on your doorstep, whilst the coast and its iconic towns such as Saint-Malo are just a short drive away.

The Fairytale Townhouse

Safe

Once a home for horses, this former stable is perfectly placed for a visit to Rennes. Tucked nicely near Thabor Gardens, it allows you to be close to the city yet far enough away from the hustle and bustle that you can enjoy some much-needed quiet time whenever you retreat back home. 
 
With nods to its history through exposed beams and brickwork, this recently renovated home has been beautifully modernised, while retaining its charm. The sleek, modern kitchen is a delight to cook in, should you decide an evening at home is preferred over dining out. Climb the spiral staircase and you’ll find two comfortable bedrooms to choose from, both of which guarantee a blissful night’s sleep. A fairly neutral palette is broken up throughout the home with pops of colour, giving the whole space a calming, cosy vibe.

Our favourite part of this home is the terrace. Quite the sun trap during the day, it’s a peaceful place to retreat to as evening sets in. Grab yourself a bottle of fine French wine and settle down on the sofas with your loved ones. As night falls and a blanket of stars breaks out above, listen to the quiet chatter of your loved ones and feel yourself relax. This is where memories are made. 

Once Upon a Stable

Part of a building constructed only in 2022, you can certainly tell that this apartment is a recent addition to Brittany. Everything about the interior feels fresh and contemporary, from the stark white walls and on-trend mid-century furnishings to the oh-so-modern kitchen.

Another big draw is the balcony, which has plenty of space for outdoor dinners that stretch long into the evening. Alternatively, you can bring a taste of alfresco life to the interior by sliding open the large glass doors and letting in a coastal breeze.

When it comes to seeing a little more of the local area, you don't have far to reach the seaside — indeed, Plage de Beaumer takes eight minutes to reach on foot. The famous Carnac stones — a collection of megalithic standing stones, tombs and burial mounds — are a similar amount of time away by car.

The Pleasure is All Mine

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

Whether you’re spending lazy days with your loved ones indoors or exploring the landmarks of Quiberon, a stay in this home means that you’re never far from the comforts of holiday life. Aqua tones, pearly white walls and the sunlight shining through the glass doors make this home as soothing as the nearby seas and sands. Have brunch in the living area and recline on the sofa for some quality time with friends or family. Stroll down to Port Maria Beach which is just fifty metres away from the home. Sofitel Quiberon Thalassa Sea & Spa and the Quiberon golf course are equally a five-minute drive away – treat yourself to thalassotherapy treatments and massages at the spa after a few hours on the putting green. Dinner followed by lounging sessions on the balcony is the perfect way to end the day.

Aqua Dream

Sauna

If your perfect holiday consists of a mixture of eighteenth-century aesthetics and twenty-first-century luxuries, then a home like Cocktails & Peacocks is the way to go. This big and extravagant mansion is prefect if you're trying to accommodate a large family or a group of friends around an event or simply to explore the joyous sights of the Loire Valley. Winos among you will be glad to hear that some of the finest vineyards in the area are a mere hour's drive from here and we hope you'll go one few tasting trips while you're in the area. When you're not exploring the locale, chill in the private pool or de-stress in the eight-seater jacuzzi. If neither of these two options are hot enough for you, hit the sauna. Every single room is regal and furnished with antiques, which will make every moment spent here special — especially the meals you'll share in the baroque-inspired dining room. On dreamy afternoons, walk around the gardens and make friends with the peacocks, then play a a game of billiards accompanied by the sweet sound of a piano.

Cocktails & Peacocks

Shared Washing Machine

Perfect for a couple, this contemporary oasis in Lanvallay is a real gem. Spend mornings sipping freshly-brewed coffee in the shared garden with today’s paper, afternoons reclining on the plump blue sofa sipping a glass of Muscadet, and evenings in the sleek kitchen rustling up a regional cheese plate – either way, this elegant home is a welcoming space to spend time in.

Inside, there are contemporary designs and a stunning scenic feature wall that creates a sense of calm. It’s a bright and inviting space to unwind after a day strolling the cobbled streets and exploring the 14th-century Dinan Castle, a short drive away. 

Soak up the Brittany culture in Dinan with a tour of the medieval half-timbered houses, a visit to the 15th-century artillery tower of Tour du Coëtquen, and an authentic dinner of pork rillettes at a family-owned bistrot. As evening descends, amble along The Rance River with a sweet chantilly crêpe in hand.
