From our guide to French Holiday Homes
Quel château! It's a neo-Gothic masterpiece and these little houses lie deep within its parkland. Handsome, comfortable and a delight to spend time in, both were restored by the indefatigable owners...
In rare contrast to the self-conscious chic of so many places, this old bakery has been beautifully and authentically restored. Plaster walls are plain white, floors are of dark glossy wood...
The open space, the natural beauty, the palpable sense of history – people come to France for all these reasons and because of the enviable savoir-vivre of the French people. We have burrowed deep in France and unearthed the most generous, fascinating hosts. You'll find elegant châteaux still in family hands after centuries, chalets among crags and peaks for skiers and ramblers, chambres d'hôtes dotted along the Loire and the Dordogne; perfect for cycling tours and, everywhere, unrivalled regional food. We have special places in market towns and by the sea and a stunning collection of Parisian hotels, too.
