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).

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

Rain Shower

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.

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.

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.

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.

Extra Pillows and Blankets

Occupying an enviable spot in the heart of Renne’s historic centre, this apartment cleverly combines classic French furniture with original features and licks of contemporary chartreuse coloured paint to create a stylish yet welcoming environment. 

Make yourself at home in the living space – curl up on the orange tartan sofa with a paperback before rustling up Breton cuisine in the fully-equipped kitchen. After a good feasting, stretch your legs with a wander through the city’s charming streets or embark on a sight-seeing adventure. 

The Cathedral Saint-Pierre de Rennes is just footsteps from your doorstep and the Musée de Bretagne is only a short walk away. Pore over works by Picasso, Botticelli and Rubens in the Musée des Beaux-Arts before treating yourself to a glass of wine in a local bar. 

Chartreuse & Brick

Lift Access

This bright apartment situated in the centre of Rennes is a comfortable base for a family or a small group of friends visiting the capital of Brittany and wanting to make the most out of their stay. Location is certainly a great convenience here, and the pad itself offers a warm and friendly place to come back to at the end of a long day of exploring. 

Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted by a light-filled open-plan living space, with a comfy sofa inviting you to kick back and relax with a glass of French wine, or cider, and a good movie.

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.

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.

A stone's throw from Rennes' must-see sites – such as the Place des Lices, Cathédrale Saint-Pierre and La Vilaine, just to name a few – this cosy apartment is nestled in a prime spot for exploring. Start your day with a wander through the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Rennes, then dig into an alfresco lunch at the city's array of delicious eateries. Come evening, don your fanciest outfit and enjoy a night at the opera or for something a bit more low-key, pack a picnic and watch the sunset in Parc du Thabor.

When you're not out and about, we think this flat is a fantastic place to kick back and unwind. The sleek and simple design is a calming respite from the hustle and bustle, while features like the knotted wooden beams overhead and decorative mantelpiece add the perfect amount of French charm.

Make yourself comfortable and plop down on the squishy sofa with a glass of French wine in hand, reminiscing about the day's adventures as you plan tomorrow's itinerary. For dinner, the sleek kitchen is well-stocked for serving up scrumptious meals around the stylish island – we suggest cooking a Breton dish like galettes using fresh produce from the Saturday market. With rainfall showers in the glossy bathrooms, sumptuous beds in each bedroom and a light-filled living space ideal for socialising, we think a group of friends or a small family will be more than happy to call this pad home.

Cooking breakfast in the open kitchen is a delight, with everything you might need is close to hand. Dine together at the oh-so-chic industrial-style dining table.

Chic City Heart

Baby Changing Mat

Inside, rustic charm is in abundance, thanks to stone walls, fireplaces and wooden beams. The home has a cosy feel throughout, with everything you need for a relaxing stay that the whole family can enjoy.

Castle & Courtyard

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

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

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. 


French Manhattan

Offering all the home comforts and warm ambience, you’ll be able to relax after days of exploring this historic city – or if you’re coming here on business, the pad’s convenient location makes it all the more desirable. 

Step inside to find yourself in a light-filled open-plan living and dining area, with a comfy sofa and a dining table, ideal for enjoying evenings of movies and light suppers in the company of your loved ones. The modern kitchen area is well-equipped and perfect for rustling up those delicious meals using fresh ingredients from the local market – though we’d also recommend trying some of the fantastic restaurants in the area. 

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. If you want to stay even more local, why not go browsing the flea markets of Viarme Square or visit the Natural History Museum? 

Nouvelle Vague

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

A comfortable and functional home a short walk from the heart of Nantes, this apartment is inviting, quiet and convenient. There’s a living space with a soft sofa for curling up with your morning coffee, a fully-equipped kitchenette with everything you need for rustling up French classics, and a private balcony – our favourite place to unwind with a glass of wine in the evening. 

After a bite to eat at the breakfast bar, explore the atmospheric streets that surround your pad. Cross the ​​Loire River and visit the Place Royale before broadening your history knowledge at the Château des ducs de Bretagne. Spend sunny afternoons strolling around the Botanical Gardens and when you’ve worked up a hunger, seek out a local brasserie for a slap-up supper.

The perfect pied-à-terre, this elegant urban home features a light filled and artfully decorated open plan kitchen cum dining and living room courtesy of near floor to ceiling French doors which open out onto twin Juliet balconies. Romantics rejoice, there’s also a combined bedroom and bathroom complete with a freestanding tub. You’ll love taking your morning coffee at the breakfast bar, whipping up your lover’s favourite dishes and dining à deux at the transparent table. Chill out on easy chairs in front of the TV or indulge in a long, hot soak in the tub before climbing into bed.  

Whether you’re staying a matter of days or weeks, you’ll be well placed to make the most of all that the spirited city of Nantes has to offer. This former Breton capital turned cultural hub boasts the sensationally Gothic Cathédrale St-Pierre et St-Paul, the multimedia-rich Château des Ducs, and the memorable Mémorial de l’Abolition de l’Esclavage all within two to fifteen minutes’ walking distance of your home. Follow up an artsy day with sensational seafood, a light Loire Valley white and a little live jazz, because why not?


Artsy & Intimate

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.
