A French gite or cottage is the perfect base from which to explore the surrounding countryside, and to enjoy a variety of recreational amenities such as golf, fishing, cycling, or horse riding.
About French Gites and cottages
The only real difference between gites in France and cottages in France is that gites are French owned with the owner often living nearby, while cottages mostly belong to UK residents and may have décor and fittings that reflect this. Gite owners are required to sign the official 'Gites de France' charter, and to maintain the high standards that it demands.
