France

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.

All our special places to stay are personally inspected by our team and chosen for their warmth and character. You book directly with the owners, meaning no fees or fuss from us, a better deal for them and a great trip for you.
