The accommodation is new and as described, Frank is always responsive and gives simple and clear information

Frédéric is a responsive and available host. The house is well equipped and tastefully furnished. It is very well located in Labenne ocean (beach and shops within walking distance). The stay went very well for my mom who came to visit us.

OPERA - NEW LUXURY LOFT- 6P - 2BDR & 2BTR & LIFT
Our family had a great stay in Sarah and Romain's place. Appreciated the welcome treats upon our arrival. Their place is central for walking, bus, and train. Lots of food options around as well. There were a couple of issues that came up during our stay and the hosts were very responsive. Only downside was the construction directly across the street, sometimes starting as early as 5 am. Not the hosts fault but something to note. Would book with them again.

Apartment 002, higher education school nearby
Super convenient accommodation for a stay in Angers, city center very well served (bus and tram) Lidl nearby, fast food (pizza /bakery/kebab) a stone's throw away, quiet clean studio and small nice terrace in good weather. We will definitely return to the beautiful city of Angers and to Philippe's Airbnb if we can.

Charming Parisian appartment fully equipped
We had good contact with Caroline and she offered to bring our suitcases into the accommodation while she was still in the process of preparing them. At the place we found everything we needed, which was really well equipped. The sofa in the living room was more for a child than 2 adults, but it was perfect for us. There was everything you need such as hairdryer, toaster, TV, etc. The first night it was very noisy in the house, the house is clairaudient. I recommend earplugs. But the surroundings are great, there are lots of restaurants, bakers and bus and metro are close by. We would definitely return because for us the apartment was perfect.

2-bedroom apartment in the center of Saint Brieuc
Excellent, I recommend it.

Studio "Le 1729" in the historic center
Thanks to Marjorie and Laurent for their hospitality, responsiveness and sympathy. The apartment is really matches the photos and is very clean, it is in the heart of Chambéry, you can enjoy all the amenities on foot. I highly recommend it and plan to come back regularly.

Apartment in town center (East)
Quality and clean cottage. Chocolate bonus at check-in. Marie-claire and Dominique are responsive to messages. Loved this week in the studio

Apartment facing the sea - right on the water!
What a beautiful view! First impression we had when we arrived. Just one street to cross and we're On the beach. The children's playground not far away is a plus. All the useful information was given to us before we arrived. Clean apartment. Thanks Clélia

T3 Annecy center near old town
Ideal accommodation for a weekend in Annecy, close to the train station and the city center.
Castles in France

Exclusive Use of Château de Marigné – Park & Pool
We had a pleasant weekend in this property. The decoration and layout of the rooms put us in the atmosphere of the Loire Castles. This home offers something to take care of: billiards, foosball, ping pong, pétanque... result, a family weekend at the top! Exchanges with Vani allowed us to prepare all this in good conditions. We asked her for a home chef for Saturday night's dinner, she found us a gem: a treat for the taste buds! With a very nice chef! Thanks Vani!

Chateau du Puy Tower Suites w/ Best views
Kika and Pete have masterfully created a sleek, peaceful space perfectly designed for a relaxing retreat. The chateau sticks out on the hillside as you approach. Your space is the highest point on the hillside with an unobstructed view of the valley below. The two bedrooms are connected and you must go through one to reach the bathrooms. The space was spotless, kitchen fully loaded, washer and dryer worked well, design of the space is clutter free for ultimate relaxation. Hosts provide an exhaustive list of excellent local recommendations. Would recommend!

Cosy Home of Character in Castle
What can I say!! Simply beautiful. Ideally located, with simple and easy access. The arrival recommendations are clear and precise, the quality of the accommodation is impeccable and with an incredible view. Cleanliness, quality decoration, and so on. Everything was as listed on the ad, and even beyond. Thanks for the great time. A great memory as a traveler... We recommend it without a second thought, you can trust Beatrice. Looking forward to coming back.

Spacious apartment with two bedrooms at the Château
We want to thank Pat for her warm welcome to her castle. He is a passionate host who knows how to convey the history of his family home. The castle has an old-world charm that delighted us. Even with two nights we wished we could have stayed longer. Great stay.

Castel in the Loire Valley
We had a great stay! Our host Pierre was extremely welcoming and considerate, thank you again!

Castle for family, friends, seminar + caterer 18 beds
Perfect and very nice accommodation, I would recommend it! Francois was very attentive and available in our exchanges. A big thank you also to Patricia for her lovely welcome and recommendations!

Castle's guesthouse - east wing
Our stay at Château de Choloy was incredible! It is truly an amazing and magical place. We loved wandering the grounds, which are full of agriculture that the Loevenbruck family has cultivated over generations. We walked through woodland pathways, along streams, and over stone bridges, with a castle in the background. It felt like we had wandered directly into a fantasy book! Inside, the castle is equally as enchanting. Marie’s mother, Catherine, has decorated and furnished the entire castle with antiques, making the experience feel authentic and immersive. The breakfast in the morning was fantastic! Fresh Baguette, croissants, with homemade jams and apple juice. We had our eggs made Oeufs à la Coque, a classic French breakfast staple. Marie puts a great deal of effort into making the experience warm and welcoming. She's very attentive and ready to help. Do yourself a favor and read through the history of the castle on their website while you stay there. We can't wait to return!!

Our House, Château de la Boulaye.
This stay was like none we've ever had! It's a genuine chateau/mansion, complete with stables, endless rooms, a pond, and even a chapel. While it is old and there are parts of the grounds that are not kept up, the inside doesn't feel old at all. The furniture is modern and it has all the fixtures you'd expect. It's a wonderful, eccentric getaway for a large family or multiple families vacationing together who want a unique experience. The grounds are fun to explore and the surrounding countryside has trails through the fields and the Normandy bocage that you can get lost in. There is a nature preserve/park close by, also. The host was very responsive and accommodated our arrival nicely. Note that (as of JUL 2024) there is no Wi-Fi and the mobile signal strength is spotty, but that may be what you're looking for. We recommend this property for a once in a lifetime stay at a very reasonable price.
Your guide to France
All About France
From its scenic beaches and cinematic alps to its rich historic and cultural sites, France is a country steeped in natural, architectural, and artistic beauty. The European country houses 44 UNESCO World Heritage sites, including medieval towns, towering castles, sacred cathedrals, and spectacular landscapes. Paris, the capital of France, has been one of the world’s great cultural centers for centuries now, home to famous museums such as the Louvre and Musée d'Orsay, iconic landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, and the Champs-Élysées, a stately avenue lined with exclusive fashion boutiques.
Outside of the metropolis, you can bask in the sun on the glittering coastline of the French Riviera, or head high up into the French Alps for a few days of amazing skiing in Mont Blanc or Chamonix. Explore the Loire Valley’s ornate castles, inhale the crisp saline air as you wander along the rocky coast of Brittany, and drive from vineyard to vineyard in the wine-producing towns of Burgundy and Champagne.
The elegance of French cuisine is famous the world over, and at cozy family-owned bistros or bustling brasseries you’ll be able to taste classics such as duck confit, coq au vin, or choucroute garnie. Almost every village or neighborhood has a market where you’ll admire impeccably arranged fruits at the height of season and taste local charcuterie and delectable artisan cheese. And few people can resist passing by the window of a patisserie without darting in for pains au chocolat or tiny, jewel-toned macaron cookies.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in France
Northern France generally experiences warm summers and cold winters, while in the South of France, the summers are hot and the winters are mild. The most pleasant time to stay in a vacation rental in France is during spring and early fall, when you can expect mostly sunny and mild conditions for exploring both the cities and the countryside, as well as enjoying the many annual festivals and events. In late February and early March, the Carnival of Nice brings out parades, music, fireworks, and the famous Batailles des Fleurs (Battles of the Flowers).
In April the International Garden Festival showcases the best in garden design in the picturesque town of Amboise in the Loire Valley. In May, a world-famous film festival takes over the coastal city of Cannes, while In July, visitors descend on the small town of Menton for two weeks of concerts under the stars.
Top things to do in France
Mont Saint Michel
On the edge of a rocky island above the Normandy coastline in Northern France, Mont Saint Michel is a medieval town that looks from a distance like it’s straight out of a fairytale. At the heart of its narrow cobbled streets is the spectacular Benedictine Abbey, which is on the famous Way of Saint James pilgrimage — a spiritual journey that many still undertake today. The pathways here are windy and include many stairways, so wear a comfortable pair of walking shoes.
The French Riviera
Head to the South of France for beautiful coastal cities and the blue waters of the Mediterranean. Nice is the biggest city with glorious sea views, great shopping, and a selection of art museums. Cannes is famous for its film festival, while the coast's most popular stretch of beaches are in Antibes. Saint-Tropez also has beautiful beaches and attracts the rich and famous, while the quieter town of Villefranche-sur-Mer offers a more traditional Provencal experience.
Carcassonne
In the south of France, the city of Carcassonne is one of the finest examples of a medieval walled city in Europe. There are 52 towers and nearly two miles of ramparts, as well as the Canal du Midi, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Wander the narrow streets full of historic buildings, charming cafes, and small shops. The city also hosts a famous festival of music, dance, and theater in July.
