Go to France

Special Places to Stay French Holiday Homes
written by Alastair Sawday, edited by Emma Carey

From the Alastair Sawday's Special Places to Stay series.

This guide features a wonderful range of places to rent in France houses, usually by the week or fortnight, sometimes for shorter periods, like a weekend. This guidebook includes up to 250 properties and covers every type of place to stay, from simple cottages to grand chateaux and everything in between: turreted towers, snug retreats, farmhouses, chateaux and more.

What all these places have in common is that Sawday "specialness" - they are all places that we have inspected and think are "right" for different, often quite subjective reasons - architecture, charm, decor, position, even quirkiness. We like their style, and our clear descriptions will allow readers to judge if it is right for them, whether traveling with children or friends, taking a vacation as a couple, or looking for somewhere to use a base for exploring local markets, walking, cycling, writing that novel (or just reading a couple), whatever. Another great book for independent folk who simply love to be in France!

Sometimes owners live next door or nearby, sometimes in a different area or country, all together, but there will always be information on hand about what to do and see in the area. The degree of luxury and number of "creature comforts" will be apparent from each entry. The guide includes properties all over France but concentrates on those particularly lovely areas rich in history with great wine, food, and scenery where people love to linger and explore: the Loire Valley, the Dordogne, and Provence, for example.
