A self catering cottage, gite or villa to rent in France is a great way to stretch you holiday budget further, being half the coast of an equivalent hotel stay. The cost of living in France is still thought to be up to 28% cheaper than the UK. Our self catering holiday cottages (gites) offer excellent value - well equipped with everything you could need, practical layout and furnishings, and the bonus of a lovely heated pool and attractive gardens. We offer a good selection of equipment for babies and toddlers - less to bring with you - and sheets and towels are also available. The owners live on site (English spoken) for help and advice when needed - a bonus for those who are new to holidays in France.
The Vendee, on the west coast of France, is an ideal destination for families with children, being so easy to get to (a 3 hour drive from the nearest ferry port of St Malo) yet far enough south to enjoy reliable warm summer weather.
