A week of vacation in the countryside, calm and authenticity

Far from the tourist influx, far from the daily rhythm that can sometimes be intense. Take a vacation in the countryside to breathe, enjoy with the family, have a coffee in the garden and let yourself be lulled by the singing of the birds. Take a holiday in the French countryside!

Why choose a holiday in the countryside?

Holidays in the countryside offer a real return to the roots. Far from the daily tumult, they allow you to reconnect with nature and enjoy moments of absolute calm. By choosing a vacation rental in the countryside, you opt for a unique experience, away from the crowds and digital distractions. This type of stay offers you a real luxury: that of time, silence and space. Take the car to escape and arrive at your holiday home, in a peaceful and quiet place.

Enjoy family time

No busy program, just good time with the family while enjoying breakfast on the terrace or in the garden. In the afternoon you can walk to the neighbouring village, to buy bread or do some shopping, or simply enjoy the landscape.

Living to the rhythm of the seasons

In summer, you can pick cherries, tomatoes, or fresh fruit. In autumn, mushrooms and enjoy walks in the forest. In the spring, the gardens are flowery. The French countryside offers a variety of textures and colours throughout all four seasons.

Disconnect to recharge your batteries

Enjoy without a screen, without a phone... take the opportunity to read, take naphes in the garden or simply listen, talk and breathe. Children can rediscover the pleasure of being outside.
