Located in the heart of Bordeaux's beautiful old town, this apartment embodies the class, style, and chicness of this city. The old stone building is the perfect first impression of Bordeaux, and stepping inside the apartment only confirms that this place is a gem of a find.

We love the classic details here – the original stone brick wall, the quintessentially French windows and the frame around the mirror. It's met with a modern design style that beautifully encapsulates the city – classic yet youthful. Your balcony offers a view of the street below, a lovely spot for enjoying a fresh cup of coffee and engaging in everyone's favourite past-time, people-watching. 

When it comes to seeing the city, you couldn't ask for a better location. You're a mere 200 metres from the lively Rue Sainte Catherine, the city's main artery, bursting with boutiques and shops. You're also steps away from Place Fernand Lafargue, lined with cafes and eateries. In such a fantastic location, seeing the city's many historical sights and points of interest comes with ease.

After a day of exploring, you can easily make your way back to your apartment to relax before heading out for dinner. You'll love sipping on a local bottle of wine (when in Bordeaux) and snacking on olives around the industrial chic-style table, with the warm-toned light fixtures setting the tone.

Located in the heart of Côte d’Or, this beautiful home was built in the 1900s and restored to make a lovely holiday getaway. Kids will love the vast garden, where you'll find outdoor seating for enjoying an alfresco meal or an aperitif. The kitchen is fully equipped for large meals and there's plenty of space for groups. Nearby vineyards can be visited by bike or on foot, but we recommend having a car here for day trips – Dijon and the Parc Naturel Regional du Morvan are easily accessible by car.

Boasting stunning views over the picturesque wooded hillsides of the Massif des Maures, this stone farmhouse has lots of space inside and out. Two of the single beds are up on a mezzanine level and younger children may need supervision on some of the staircases. That said, the kitchen is well equipped for family meals, and pets are welcome to join you. Sun loungers surround the infinity pool, and the large garden has room for alfresco dining. There's plenty of peace and quiet here, so we think you'll want a car for trips to Saint-Tropez, Nice, and Cannes.

We can see why this French country estate has been featured in a raft of interior design magazines. Inspired by mid-century modern architects, the layout, furnishings and finishes are not what you necessarily expect from these traditional buildings, but they complement them perfectly. There’s a main house and an attached barn, as well as two independent guest suites (one also has a sauna). Step into the gardens and you’ll find a wood-fired Nordic bath and a pétanque court. There’s also a greenhouse growing seasonal crops and an outdoor kitchen with a wood-fired pizza oven. Set in a small village within the Vexin Nature Reserve and just an hour from Paris, you’ll have plenty to see and do during your stay.

Hidden Splendour

Air Conditioning

Dating back to the 18th-century, this home has been thoughtfully restored into a coastal sanctuary. Spread across three floors, the rooms offer an abundance of space for families and groups to stretch out, while the garden sets the tone for leisurely days by the pool. And to ensure maximum relaxation, your host can help organise a range of extra services – including private chefs and massage treatments. From here, it’s just a short stroll to Rènecros Beach (100 metres away), while the nearest shops, restaurants and market are all within walking distance.

Tucked away in the Cote de Bourg area just north of Bordeaux, this fairytale 19th-century chartreuse overlooks beautiful vineyards and the rolling landscape beyond. The seclusion makes this a tranquil getaway – especially when swimming in the private pool or enjoying the ample seating outside – but with this being an active vineyard, it's also a unique way to experience the French countryside. The interior, all rustic rafters and palatial furnishings, might not be everyone's cup of tea, but there's plenty of space and charm here. It is worth noting that there are only three bathrooms to share between fourteen guests. The country house is bold and full of character, and the pool table is a nice touch too.

This home in Saint-Jean-du-Bois caught our eye after it was recommended by a member of the Plum Guide community. An elegant country chateau, it's perfectly plonked in the heart of the Loire Valley, with Le Mans just a twenty-minute drive away. Here you'll feel like nobility the moment you pull up in the drive. Sat in an eye-wateringly huge 450-acre estate, this place has impressive features by the boatload. Speaking of boats, you can fish or row round the lake, or hop on one of the bikes provided to peruse the countryside, challenge someone to a game of tennis, or dive into the beautiful heated pool. Inside, the home is a super-stylish mix of stripped-back country chic and lux modern design. Each of the nine bedrooms is decorated to a theme, and there are roll-top baths to be found in some of the luxury bathrooms. This is one to savour with family, friends and a few glasses of local wine.



Curious Castle

Welcome Hamper

Nice to haves

This beautifully renovated sixteenth century farmhouse with sweeping grounds is perfectly suited to a large family or group. Children will love the play room and football goals in the garden, and a couple of the bedrooms are especially designed for kids. The heated salt-water swimming pool really makes this home stand out for us, as does the air-conditioned barn – available for an additional fee – complete with a range of fitness equipment and pool table. Be aware however, that four of the bedrooms and three of the bathrooms are in annexes separate from the main house.

You can never go wrong if you book a whole chateau, which is why Sezanne Pond is such a lovely place to gather all your loved ones. Among the many services provided by the lovely host team, the fact that you can get an English-speaking guide to take you around is one of our favourites, but we can't say that we didn't love the fact that we booked maid service and released even more time in our day to do absolutely nothing. As this home used to be a retirement home back int the day, it has a lift for the luggage, which is another one of the small details that Sezanne Pond does absolutely right. Of course you get the standard luxuries — a large private pool, antique furniture fit for nobility, huge gardens where you can walk and reflect, a salon with a grand piano and a pool table, lots if spots to relax and read, and more. Within a few minutes' drive, rustic towns await, and we hope you take some time to explore this beautifully historic landscape and bring some local wine back to your chateau.

If your romantic escape plan involves sitting by a grand piano with a rare book in hand, surrounded by art and antique treasure somewhere in lush acres of the Loire countryside, Hardbound Volumes can top that up with a lot more. The 15th century home is a treasure chest, complete with a massive log fireplace, exquisite oil paintings and rich Chinese rugs, to name a few. The decadent interiors open up to quiet terraces and lawns that are perfect for barbecue sessions under the stars. Far from the the crowds, bike over to Varennes-sur-Loire for your breakfast croissant and go fishing at the Loire on warm afternoons. Surrounded by a golf course, an opera, a theatre and the Equestrian Cadre Noire, soak up the cultural goodness here. The host knows it's quite the task choosing a place for dinner so we suggest you allow them to serve you tailored recommendations.

Hardbound Volumes

Embrace the beauty of the sea at Seaside Serenity, a charming and modern 3-room apartment situated in Jullouville. This beachfront haven offers stunning views of the ocean from every window.

Prepare culinary delights in the well-equipped kitchen featuring modern appliances. The bathroom offers all the necessities, and there is a separate WC for convenience. With its prime location just steps away from the golden sandy beach and within walking distance to shops, cafes, and tourist attractions, Seaside Serenity provides an idyllic retreat for beach lovers and sightseers alike.

Nestled in the charming village of Montmin, this renovated barn offers an unforgettable stay in the heart of the French Alps. With its breathtaking mountain views, rustic charm, and cosy vibes, it’s the perfect spot for a family holiday off the beaten track. Ideal for outdoorsy types, the barn is just a short walk from le Col de la Forclaz and is perfectly positioned for canyoning, paragliding, and hiking. The beautiful city of Annecy is twenty-five minutes away, and you can drive to Talloires beach in fifteen minutes.

This chateau in Normandy is bursting with old-world charm. Built by the original owner in the 19th century as a wedding present for his wife, it has been lovingly restored in recent years. While historic features like the elegant façade, grand rooms and antique French floor tiles have been preserved, the basement has been converted into a haven for fun and relaxation. The curved brick rooms are now home to a cinema room, a pool table, and a fitness suite. Meanwhile upstairs retains its 19th-century splendour through antique furniture, original fireplaces, and oak panelled walls. 

Set within an 18-hectare estate, there are beautiful spots to while away the days. Relax on the lawn with a book or sip calvados on the charming château terrace. On sunny days, whip up lunch on the barbecue while the children have fun in the play area. There are over 300 apple and pear trees in the fruit orchard, and beautiful walking trails through the estate’s woodland, with sprawling views of Normandy countryside, which you can explore on foot or on the bikes at the house. 

The area is surrounded by picturesque villages and scenery. The historic town of Gournay-en-Bray is a five-minute drive away, where you can pick up local produce at the twice-weekly market for a picnic. The Forêt de Lyons can be reached in twenty minutes by car, where you can practise a range of outdoor adventures, or simply walk through the winding woodland trails. 

Chateau des Bois

Situated right in the heart of the beautiful port town of Antibes, moments away from the beach and the Picasso Museum, this stylish and comfy studio apartment is an ideal place for a couple or a solo traveller to base themselves while exploring the many wonders this magical area has to offer.

Studio flats can often be hit-and-miss, but with a generous 431 square feet of space and elegant décor, this little gem easily wins our seal of approval – and that’s without even taking into account its prime location. Enter to be greeted by a warm and welcoming living area, with gorgeous furnishings and lovely details scattered throughout. It’s clear that the hosts took special care to make this place cosy and comfortable and this they achieved in spades. 

Relax on the plush sofa and snuggle up for a movie night or an evening of wine and conversation. You’ll be able to rustle up quick and delicious snacks in the well-equipped kitchenette and there’s even a small and charming dining table for those romantic candlelight suppers. 

While your bed is located in the same space as the living room, there’s a nice transition between the two and you’ll never feel cramped here. Get a restful night of sleep to wake up refreshed and ready for another day of coastal adventures. You’ll be spoiled for choice when it comes to exciting things to do and places to visit – from Antibes itself, with its many restaurants, bars and museums, to the famous sandy beaches, and the other cities on the Cote d’Azur within easy access, there’s something here for everyone.

Access to Beach

This beautiful, thatched 19th-century cottage is as pretty as a picture. We love the gorgeous panoramic views of the river, sea, and the port from the south-facing terrace and garden. It's the perfect spot to watch the boats go by while tucking into some seafood washed down with a glass of local cider.

The interiors are just as charming as the exterior, with exposed stone walls, terracotta floors, vases of hydrangea and whitewashed beamed ceilings decorated with oars and fishing lines. Gather around the hearth with its deer antlers and wood burner when the Brittany weather turns chilly. There are more of those lovely river vistas from inside too. This place is a great retreat for family or friends all year round.

There's plenty to explore out and about – it's less than a minute's walk to the river, while Névez is just 4 kilometres away. The Port de Kerdruc is 270 metres, and there's a sailing school 5.7 kilometres, or if you fancy a day at the beach, Plage de Port Manec'h is just under 6 kilometres from this enchanting home.

With its secluded, heated pool, this elegant apartment housed in a 16th-century building in Uzès is the perfect French retreat. This charming restored home is full of character, from the remarkable circular stone staircase and wooden ceiling beams to the old stone floors. We love the gracious living room with its views over the fig and bamboo trees, the pool and the town's rooftops. There's a wood-burning stove, too, for cosy nights when the weather turns chilly and a desk for catching up on work as well. 

This place is ideal for a couple or family with two children. The icing on the cake here is the incredible hospitality from your lovely hosts. They can arrange all sorts of activities for you to do, including walking tours and cookery classes. 

When you're ready to explore the area, take a stroll around the town and admire the wonderful architecture or head to its renowned weekly market, then take a seat at one of its traditional restaurants. Further afield, visit the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Pont du Gard, under a twenty-minute drive away, or discover historic Nîmes, around thirty minutes in the car.


Secret Baignade

We love the mix of old and new in this charming country house on the outskirts of Mimizan. Glass panels sit above beamed ceilings, skylights have been added to the slanted roof, and French doors flood the open living space with sunshine. Bedrooms are strikingly modern, the attic room paying homage to the ocean with a monochrome beach print and knotted lamp stands, while the master's sliding doors open up to a large en-suite with a huge rainfall shower. On cooler days, the feature fireplace is the perfect place to warm up – though bright sunflower prints give the impression of an endless summer. The outdoor pool and sun loungers are on hand for those hot, balmy days and the large gardens hide several seating spots, including a patio with outdoor kitchen and barbecue for whipping up something delicious.

Set amidst the French countryside, this gorgeous retreat offers the French countryside experience with an added touch of Mediterranean charm. You'll be blown away by the quaint, idyllic scenes found both inside and outside of this home. We particularly love the enormous, curved Orangerie style backdoor which paves the way to the magical garden setting featuring a shaded alfresco dining area, day beds and a crystal clear pool – divine for a refreshing dip during the height of summer in the south of France. Back inside, the stunning open-plan kitchen-living area ensures a sociable stay for the whole group to enjoy together. The kitchen in particular will excite guests who are fond of cooking as the large central island makes it perfect for group cooking sessions. Why not book for a private chef to come and give you French cooking lessons? You'll also find that the local area allows guests to experience French culture at its finest. Mornings are for market visits here, so head on down into the local village, just a three-minute walk away where you'll find a lady named Patricia who sells fresh fruit and vegetables every Monday and Wednesday morning in the central square, Place de la Fontaine. Better still, visit on a Saturday as this is the main market day for the villagers to stock up on fresh meat, fish, cheese, truffles, wine and flowers. It's safe to say that such a warm and friendly atmosphere is hard to come by in France, if you're not in a rural village like this one.

Maison Orangerie

This stylish little studio apartment is right in the heart of historic Annecy. From your doorstep, you can step out into streets lined with wooden-shuttered buildings, where cafés spill out onto the pavement. An alpine town, Annecy is flanked by snow-capped mountains and perhaps the most picturesque spot is the stone Palais in the centre of the Le Thiou River – the view of which is best enjoyed from the riverside restaurants and gelaterias, a five-minute walk from this apartment. Although it’s a studio, the apartment itself feels spacious and it has plenty of character courtesy of the exposed brick wall and hardwood floor. A wall of windows lets in plenty of sunshine during the day and a room divider separates the living and bedroom area from the dine-in kitchen. There’s even a stylish, Scandinavian-esque desk if you want to work remotely. If you want to get around the compact town of Annecy in a flash, your host provides complimentary bikes for sightseeing.

When we’re visiting a home we like to feel transported to another time and place – one that is rich in beauty, personality and character. And this home located in the centre of Montpellier will take you on a journey to the heart of French style. 

It’s a simple and elegant space with a contemporary twist. This is the kind of home that goes beyond convention to give you a truly extraordinary stay. Whether you’re looking at the art, reading one of the books or simply gazing out of the traditional French doors, there’s an inspirational quality to this home. 

Begin your day in one of the nearby cafes and then walk through Place de la Comédie – only four–minutes away. The train station and tramways are a two–minute walk from this home, making it a great spot to connect with the rest of the city. 

French food lovers won’t want to miss Halles Laissac market – it’s only a minute's walk away and it offers a wonderful selection of regional delicacies. With your basket full, make your way home to put on some music, open the doors and share a beautiful meal in this special setting. 

The Blue Flowers

If you’re seeking a scenic spot for a group coastal getaway in Normandy, it’s time to stop scrolling. This charming home is perfect for up to fourteen people, with plenty of space to spread out and enjoy some quiet time. We love the open-plan living, dining and kitchen area – just the ticket for gathering together as you rustle up some French cuisine. But the cherry on the cake? It has to be the location. A mere 150-metre stroll takes you to Deauville beach, where sun, sea and sand await. 

Spirit of Normandy

Bread Maker

Located in Ivry-sur-Seine – just outside Paris’ centre – this modern apartment offers a calm and comfortable base from which to explore the city and its wider area. 
 
Wood floors, vibrant pops of colour and contemporary furnishings create a warm welcome in the open-plan living area, bathed in light thanks to the glass doors that open up onto a private balcony. Start mornings here over fresh coffee and croissants while taking in the wide-sweeping skyline views, or gather here at night for a celebratory glass of French wine – you may even spot Disneyland’s fireworks in the distance. 
 
With a pair of comfortable bedrooms and a sleek bathroom boasting a rainfall shower, you’ve got everything you need for a carefree stay. 
 
Outside of your home, both Parc Kellermann and Fort d'Ivry are a twenty-five-minute walk away, while Chinatown is twenty minutes away on foot. You’re also a thirty-minute Metro ride from the Panthéon, and just under forty-five minutes from the Eiffel Tower by Metro too. 


Pierre & Marie

Located in the heart of historic Versailles, this home has a great location with the Palace of Versailles a short walk away. Nearby you’ll also find the Salle du Jeux de Palme, while Paris can be reached in under an hour. Or have a walk down Satory Street with its restaurants and shops. Back at this apartment, there’s a pretty shared cobbled courtyard with pots and troughs of geraniums. Inside, it's simply furnished, but it has all you need for a French break.

Geraniums

Carantec is a lovely part of France, and staying in this home makes it all the more lovely. This charming home can be found just a one-minute walk from Plage de la Grève Blanche, where you can stroll along the shore skimming stones and paddling in the shallows. 

When you return home from the beach, with the salt sea air in your hair, you might sit out in the garden to enjoy the last of the day’s sunshine. The courtyard is best early in the morning, when you can revel in the peace and quiet of this home. We love the terrace in the evenings – fire up the barbecue to grill locally caught fresh fish and pop open a bottle of wine. We could merrily while away hours in this way, spending time with loved ones and feeling the stresses of everyday life drift away on the sea breeze. 

Inside, you’ll find a tranquil haven. Neutral hues blend with cosy, soft furnishings and natural wood shades. The living and dining space is utterly serene, the perfect place to unwind. If the weather turns chilly, gather around the stone fireplace to play cards, or curl up with a good book from the library upstairs. 

This is a quiet, residential area, but it takes only fifteen minutes to walk into the village. Shop in the local stores and perhaps pop into a cafe for a slice of cake and a coffee. Walkers will love exploring Île de Callot at low tide. However you spend your time here in Carantec, you’ll be thrilled to have such a delightful home-from-home.

Shared Washing Machine

Perfect for a couple, this contemporary oasis in Lanvallay is a real gem. Spend mornings sipping freshly-brewed coffee in the shared garden with today’s paper, afternoons reclining on the plump blue sofa sipping a glass of Muscadet, and evenings in the sleek kitchen rustling up a regional cheese plate – either way, this elegant home is a welcoming space to spend time in.

Inside, there are contemporary designs and a stunning scenic feature wall that creates a sense of calm. It’s a bright and inviting space to unwind after a day strolling the cobbled streets and exploring the 14th-century Dinan Castle, a short drive away. 

Soak up the Brittany culture in Dinan with a tour of the medieval half-timbered houses, a visit to the 15th-century artillery tower of Tour du Coëtquen, and an authentic dinner of pork rillettes at a family-owned bistrot. As evening descends, amble along The Rance River with a sweet chantilly crêpe in hand.

There’s so much vibrant energy in the beautiful city of Bordeaux, and a stay at this elegant and comfortable apartment will allow you to experience all of it. Situated in a historic building dating back to 1894, right in the heart of the old town, this pad is the perfect base for a family or a small group of friends wanting to make the most out of their time here. 

While there are quite a few steps to climb here, it’ll prove worth it as you step inside to be greeted by a large living room, bathed in streams of natural light flooding in through the floor-to-ceiling windows. We love the gorgeous wooden floors and the cinema-themed posters adorning the walls – and of course, there are those fantastic views of the city, which you can catch a glimpse of from the inside. But to truly appreciate them, step out onto the balcony, where a table and chairs also await. 

Back inside, you can kick back and relax on the plush sofa, ideal for evenings of movies and that famous wine. You can rustle up a delicious French dinner in the well-equipped kitchen and share it with your loved ones at the dining table.

With three buildings to choose from, a spa and a pool house, you'll feel right at home in this little private village.
