Great choice, great value, great gites!
Our goal is simple: to find you the widest choice of gites and holiday rental properties, and the best possible prices for your travel arrangements.
As a result we include gites in France from some of the leading suppliers, each offering thousands of holiday properties, and for each travel section you will find further options to ensure you are getting the best deal possible. We also list some gites from private owners - for these you will be taken directly to the owner's website, to find further information and contact the property owner directly.
GITES IN FRANCE - HOW TO FIND YOUR HOLIDAY ACCOMMODATION
Apartments and villas, cottages and castles - you will find just the holiday in France that you are looking for in our extensive listings. Availability can be checked online for most of our French gites (except those listed privately), and they can also be booked online immediately.
When you have found a suitable holiday rental property in France, don't forget your travel arrangements - either flights and car hire to get you to your gite, or a cross channel ferry. See our separate sections for some great offers on these travel plans:

Why choose a gite holiday in France?
Gite holidays in France are popular with many of the millions of visitors that France welcomes each year. With small cottages in beautiful rural surroundings, splendid villas with palatial swimming pools, even castles available, it is obvious why. There is every type of holiday rental property available, to suit all budgets and all tastes, in all regions of France.
The freedom of a gite or self-catering holiday is its main attraction - you can come and go as you like, and do what you want. The other attraction is the properties themselves - many gite holidays are in fine old restored properties, and you can see a side of France that may not be apparent if you stay in a hotel. So if you are looking for a gite holiday in France, take a good look at a few of the rentals available before making your choice - there are a lot of options!
Is it a friendly gite?
A lot of us have special requirements when we travel, and can only enjoy ourselves if certain facilities are in place.
If you are looking for child friendly gites, or a disabled- or pet friendly gite, make sure you are upfront and clear with the owner at the time of enquiring. All eurorelais regional listings on this site have a dropdown box where you can choose pet/dog-friendly rentals only. An active young rental owner might not be aware how awkward their staircase is for less agile visitors, and if someone has never had children they are unlikely to notice the dangers that a child-unfriendly property can present.
Please don't tell the gite owner that you have a quiet well-behaved dog and then turn up with two ferocious alsations - yes it has happened to us!
HOW TO USE THIS SITE
To search for your 'gites de France' you can select a region on the dropdown box (or in the menu) - you will then see three choices for that region: properties from eurorelais, properties from rentalsystems, and properties from agents/private owners.
Having found a suitable rental property you can then verify availability and make a reservation online, or discuss payment and availability with the property owner, as appropriate.
See What is a Gite if you have never stayed in a French self-catering holiday home before.
During your searches you might also come across the abbreviation GdF - Gites de France.
