About French gite and cottage holidays

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. Many gites and cottages are farmhouses or converted barns - others may be a chalet, apartment, or hunting lodge. Settings can vary from peaceful rural retreats to lively towns and villages, or close to the coast. Find out more about our French gites and cottages...

About Brittany

With an amazing 750 miles of twisting, turning coastline, it's no wonder that so much of Brittany's rich heritage is linked to the sea. In parts, towering cliffs and rugged rock formations create the most dramatic scenery imaginable, whilst elsewhere there are glorious sandy beaches and classic resorts that are perfect for just about every conceivable water sport.
