Rent from owners direct in France

Maïa, a former tourguide and her husband Frédéric have escaped from a more hectic life in Paris to the peaceful Loire countryside. They are experts at looking after you and they are just next door, discreets but always on hand if you need them.

Elly and I are a married couple who met many years ago travelling through Vietnam when Vietnam was not yet opened to the world. We fell in love and Steve moved from Australia to Amsterdam. After several years we moved back to Australia and for a time lived between Melbourne and Roussillon. We love travel, adventures and animals. We also run a small tour company in France, plus we own a small Brocante. Elly speaks several languages, Steve, well working on that, a bit of Dutch and French!

Kim and I decided to turn our passion for weekends away and visiting new places into running our rental properties in Lanzarote, which we've had for 5 years now and France, which we've just purchased. We love the Aquitaine region of France, the space and fresh air and a swimming pool helps too! Our goal is to provide everything we would expect ourselves, exceptional quality and memories to cherish.

We have owned this three bedroom apartment in Cannes for nearly ten years. Our favourite thing about the apartment is its location in the centre of Cannes, but still only a five minute walk to the beach and to La Croisette. I first visited Cannes in my early teens with my parents and have always been attracted to the city.

We, Michelle and Martin bought this house and gite at the end of 2013 after visiting Michelle's sister's family who live close by. When we saw it we immediately fell in love with it. We are both now retired. Michelle was a Beauty Therapist and I worked as a Technical Sales Director in agriculture. Every year we do more to improve the property and our ambition is to help make your holiday the best ever. We want you to enjoy the peace and quiet of our rural setting but will always be on hand to help with suggestions for visits, local amenities and attractions if needed. If you have any special interests or needs for your stay just contact us. If we don't know the answer we will find out and get back to you quickly. The 9.2m pool, which is cleaned every day, is a wow for the children.

Together with Gerard, a theatre enthusiast, and myself, a lover of singing, we aimed to create an ideal place that encourages meetings, creativity, and introspection. After a year of searching, we stumbled upon the house of Aum. It was an immediate crush, as if all the elements had aligned to lead us to this place. It's not surprising that our guests are also amazed by the beauty and richness of nature upon their arrival. We decided to keep the original name, La Maison d'Aum, as it evokes sound, serenity, and singing—elements that resonate with our own passions and the calmness of the place. If you also dream of finding a little piece of paradise far from the hustle and bustle of the city, you are welcome at our place. La Maison d'Aum is an enchanting place that invites you to relax, reconnect with yourself, and enjoy the beauty of nature.with yourself, and enjoy the beauty of nature.

There have been many refurbishments since we bought Chateau de Lamostonie in 2007. For example, each double bedroom has been furnished with an en-suite bathroom, the entrance hall has been opened up, and the old wooden staircase replaced with majestic stone. Located between the river Dordogne (to the North) and Lot (to the South) Chateau de Lamostonie offers many sightseeing opportunities, such as Rocamadour, Sarlat, Saint-Cirq-Lapopie, the pont Valentre at Cahors, and some spectacular caves with underground rivers and prehistoric paintings. The tennis court, swimming pool and barbecue, however, keep us from wanting to be anywhere else during the summer months. We hope you will enjoy being at Lamostonie as much as we do.

Bonjour Hello Hallo Ciao Holà G'day Ola Hej from Sarah and Paul. We discovered this beautiful property several years ago whilst on holiday in South West France. It had been empty for a few years and needed quite a bit of tlc to bring it back to life. We were excited to begin a new adventure and after lots of hard work we were ready to share this little piece of paradise with guests. The feedback from past guests has been incredible and we hope you too will experience the tranquility and total relaxation that La Vieille Gorce has to offer. A bientôt x

Jerome has a 2 bedroom chateau with shared pool in Moncaut, France.

We moved to the Ariege in 2016 after many years of teaching in the UK. The natural beauty of the region was what first attracted us - there is so much variety with the Pyrenees close by whilst still being easily accessible for Toulouse, Carcassonne and the Mediterranean coast. We love the peaceful nature of our grounds which are full of birdsong and wildlife. It is a great place to relax and unwind and still close enough to local shops, bars and restaurants.

Joanne has 4 properties including a 11 bedroom gite with shared pool in Camors, France and a 3 bedroom cottage with shared pool in Camors, France.

Hello I'm your host Rebecca, I moved to the Charente six years ago after working in Scotland in the hospitality sector. I chose the Charente as it reminded me of Scotland with its rolling countryside but importantly with a much better climate. We have been working hard on the main house and barn outbuildings and gardens to form a property that will make a wonderful location for your memorable holiday, i have put a lot of work into the decor and furnishings at Lemonie to provide you with a comfortable home from home for your holiday. Our branding motto is "Holidays Guaranteeing Peace and Tranquility" Our property is located on the Charente/Dordogne border, nearby there are plenty of France's Beaux villages to visit and the river beaches are a really great substitute to the beaches on the coasts which are also not too far.
