Renting gites in France :Self-catering holiday accommodation in rural France, usually called gites rather than villas, is an attractive option, generally more comfortable than camping or a mobile home, and cheaper than hotels. The Gitelink directory includes a selection of traditional gites de France, self catering holiday cottages and villas from the most popular regions such as Brittany, the Loire and the Dordogne, to relatively undiscovered areas including the Auvergne and Lorraine. Many gites in this directory have English-speaking owners, and can be booked directly in sterling or euros, avoiding agency fees and commissions. Generally speaking, the owners of gites live nearby and take pride in offering good service and a personal welcome.Specific pages of this directory also provide travellers with a selection of chateaux and manors providing b&b or gites, and other pages listing bed and breakfast accommodation. To be listed with Gitelink, gites and B&Bs must meet our selection criteria. Some of the gites listed with Gitelink are registered with Gites de France, and may require booking through Gites de France; but most are not. Many owners prefer not to register with Gites de France, a voluntary structure that takes commission on rentals; and the absence of a Gites de France label has no bearing at all on the quality of the accommodation.

Tips on booking gites in FranceWhile many gites are quickly booked up in the peak summer months of July and August, there is usually a good choice even for last minute bookings in spring and early summer – May and June – and in late summer and Autumn. September is a great month for holidaying in France, with the weather still generally warm, but no more crowds.Prices: These vary from region to region, and by season. Weekly gite rental rates in July and August at properties in the Gitelink directory vary from less than € 500 a week to a few gites that charge over € 1500 a week in high season. Rental charges depend on location, size, facilities, and the quality of the amenities. Gites can be, and usually are, considerably cheaper outside the peak summer months, and often offer exceptionally good value for money – far cheaper than equivalent accommodation in hotels. |
