The term gite simply refers to a traditional French holiday home, usually in a rural area. Located in beautiful settings across France, gites tend to be wonderfully restored old properties, giving you a taste of real France that you simply couldn't replicate in a hotel, and gives you access to parts of this magnificent country that many French hoteliers wouldn't even know existed!

There are some simply breathtaking locations for gites in France. Imagine waking in your own French gite overlooking the beaches of the Cote d'Azur, high in the snow capped peaks of the French Alps or the rich forests of Dordogne. And you'll understand the true benefit of a rental gite in France. Gites in France are also the perfect base if you would like to head out into the countryside for outdoor adventure activities.
