France is our spiritual home, where we first began seeking out special places back in the 90s. We’ve explored everywhere from Normandy to the Dordogne and the Loire valley, where one of our team has made her home. You’ll find blue-shuttered chateaux up and down the country, peaceful gîtes in the countryside of Brittany, chic townhouse hotels in Paris, and everything in between. Our inspectors have personally visited every single place to stay, looking for places that have a touch of magic and owners that give you a warm welcome, even it’s just a bottle of something left in your self-catering cottage.
