Chênehutte-Trèves-Cunault, France

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.

Canton de Vannes-1, Vannes

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.
