Would you like to stay in a painter's nineteenth-century home? If you book La Peinture, you most certainly can. This home is part of local history here in Villerville, but its history isn't the only reason we love it. Recently refurbished to preserve its charm and whimsical nature, this home is a great place to visit if you need a bit of inspiration. As you'll be staying right on the beach, La Peinture will give you plenty of sea breeze and views to start your day, so get up early, grab a coffee, and sit on the terrace to catch the sunrise. Once you're ready to explore, take a walk on the beach and if the weather is nice, dip your toes into the sea. You can pack light if you're here to swim and work on your tan as you can always return to your gorgeous residence for a snack. If you want to do a bit of sightseeing, visit the nearby towns of Honfleur and Deauville and walk the cobbled streets. when you return, whip up a meal in the well-equipped kitchen to replenish your energy, then organise a movie night with the help of the big flat-screen TV.

Explore the magic of Normandy from your base in Le Tréport, a quaint fishing town. This elegant apartment and its soft-toned interiors are reminiscent of another time, embodying the timeless charm of Northern France. 

Refined furniture and pretty touches make for a lovely abode – every detail echoes and celebrates the beauty of its surroundings. Whether you’re sipping your morning coffee on your small balcony, savouring a hot bath after a long day of exploring, or whipping up dinner in your well-equipped kitchen, there’s everything you could need to feel at home. Tucking into meals around the mid-century-style dining table is particularly lovely, with the French doors open to let the fresh sea air billow in.

Spend mornings taking a gentle walk along the canal and discover the town’s fishing history through its port, just 200 metres away. When you want to explore the historical centre, you’re a stone’s throw away from all the local shops, restaurants, historical sights, and more. But the best thing to do in Le Tréport is to simply appreciate the beautiful cliffs and cove beaches – hop on the funicular train to catch an immense view of the natural surroundings.

Gorgeously restored with consideration and keen eye for detail, this converted farmhouse offers the best of both archetypal rural France and chic modernity. 

The beautifully finished living area is characterised by its plush furnishings and luxurious finishing touches, lending the entire space a sense of glamour and of occasion. The kitchen, with the same eye-catching exposed stone detailing which runs throughout the property, provides a great place for everyone to come together and prepare a meal based on Breton specialities, including the freshest local seafood pulled from the water which lies just a stone’s throw away. For those with a hankering for vitamin-sea, the superb wide sandy beach of La Guimorais is just 5-minutes’ walk from the property.

Make your way upstairs and you will find two beautifully decorated bedrooms, each of which is filled with light and a feeling of height, thanks to its sloping loft ceilings that reach up into the eaves of the old building. Old stonework contrasts with cool contemporary wallpaper in the master bedroom, continuing the theme of ‘old-meets-new’ which makes the home so captivating, and an elegant standalone bathtub provides an extra unique touch. Imagine soaking in the bath in the comfort of your bedroom, looking out of the opposite window as dusk falls, before heading back downstairs and out onto the terrace for a glass of wine or an alfresco barbecue as evening turns to night.

When darkness falls, head inside to cuddle up on the sumptuous sofa to watch a movie. If you're travelling with little ones, the mezzanine level dens are the perfect place for a bedtime story to make sure they settle in for a good night's sleep.

Taken in and of itself, this apartment in Saint-Aubin-sur-Meris is perfectly pleasant. The stark white walls and wood floors feel smart and contemporary, while the flashes of blue and some eye-catching accoutrements – the lighting fixtures and funky stools, to single out a couple – stop it from feeling too anonymous.

Open up the French doors leading out onto the spectacular terrace area where the group can gather around the alfresco dining area for barbecues by the sea. When the weather is kind, what better than a spot of sunbathing on the loungers in a prime position of those glistening views? 

With a dormitory-style bedroom with six single beds, the children will enjoy sharing a room on one giant sleepover. Meanwhile, the garden shed equipped with games and bicycles will keep the whole family occupied for hours. 

After fun-filled days on the beach (you'll be just a few minutes away from the most beautiful beaches of the Emerald Coast here), the home sauna awaits for some blissful moments of relaxation. Of course, even from the sauna – you won't miss a moment away from the stunning sea view.

However, the sloped ceilings and connected bedrooms in the attic may be a better fit for kids than couples. Make sure you hire a car and plan a drive to Caen, thirty minutes away. Feel like a beach day instead? Take a road trip to the Plage de Cabourg, just twenty minutes by car.

The Maison Blanche

Looking out over the historic heart of the Saint-Léonard district of Honfleur from its rooftop location up on the third floor, this charming apartment can accommodate six people. On entry, you'll be greeted by a beautifully illuminated space with plenty of skylights embedded in the sloping ceilings. The open-plan living room and kitchen is an enticing mix of old and new, with a sleek kitchen and modern furnishings sitting beneath original exposed beams. The bedrooms are more classically contemporary, with ceilings that slope down from sky-high to almost floor level, which adds some design interest. Honfleur has long been a favourite with France's most famous painters, including Monet. Nowadays, this charming old port town is a popular day-trip destination for weary Parisians looking to escape the city for a long weekend. With spades of rugged maritime charm, the Vieux Bassin (Old Harbour) evokes a Normandy that was lost long ago. 

Casa Solar

Jacuzzi

Even though this large home sits in the middle of a golf course in rural Brittany, there's plenty to keep guests occupied even if they're not keen followers of the sport.

Take the wonderful wellness space, for example. Surrounded by large windows that look out to the peaceful grounds, there's both a heated swimming pool and a Jacuzzi to recline in once you've done a length or two. If that sounds a little too sedate, there's a huge range of games, from foosball and ping-pong to a petanque court and an arcade machine on which you'll find over 1500 video games. We're not saying you'll be praying for rainy days, but they won't be the catastrophe they might be at other addresses.

At the same time, the huge garden offers lots of space and equipment for enjoying spells of sunny weather. You can embrace a French tradition on the petanque court, bounce about on the trampoline or do nothing more strenuous than read on the terrace – perhaps with dinner cooking away on the barbecue in the background.

We should also mention that the home – once a farmhouse in a former life – is a pleasing mix of rustic and contemporary aspects, with wooden ceiling beams and a few patches of exposed stonework sitting quite happily alongside stark white walls, bold artwork and a super-sleek minimalist kitchen.

When it comes to seeing a little more of this corner of France, there's a good selection of spots that are a short drive away. The seaside towns of Saint-Malo and Dinard are a quarter of an hour away by car for instance, while both Rennes and Mont Saint Michel take around forty minutes to reach.

A Playful Character

This is a beautiful 3-family house in the resort town of Jullouville, perfectly located just 10 meters from both the sea and the beach. Despite being situated right in the centre of town, it remains peaceful and quiet. The cosy and well-furnished apartment is on the first floor and boasts a marvellous view of the sea. It has three comfortable bedrooms, one with an en-suite bathroom. The living room features an open-hearth fireplace (for decoration only) and a flat-screen TV, while the apartment also comes with free internet access. Guests are welcome to park two cars on-site. This property is an excellent base for exploring nearby attractions such as Granville, Coutances, Le Mont Saint Michel, and Iles Chaussey.

The Blue Vine

This coastal home is located in a rural spot, whilst also offering a ton of activities for the family. Whether you choose to gather for a meal at the sunlit dining table indoors or tuck into an alfresco dish on the patio, there's plenty of room to spend some quality time with your loved ones. This home gets a gorgeous amount of daylight through the windows, lighting up the space to accompany you as you spend the afternoon relaxing around the house. Put your feet up as you watch TV or have a duvet day while you dive into a new book.

The beach is only a short walk away from the property, as the coastline stretches far past home – the perfect backdrop for an energising run or power walk. Within fifteen–minutes you'll come across some delicious eateries, as well as a nearby bakery and even a cafe to sip on some freshly brewed coffee with a sweet slice of cake. This destination is a pleasant change from the usual hustle and bustle of Paris, giving you the chance to see the more rural side of France.

After spending the day at the beach, head home to cook up a meal on the outdoor barbeque and while away the hours in the verdant garden under the glow of the evening sky – listen to the serene silence as the day draws to a close.
