A bouquet of wild flowers on your bedside table, a bottle of local wine awaiting you when you arrive, and countless attentions that will make your stay unforgettable. Behind these little attentions hide the Gîtes de France, men and women who made the choice to promote an original, authentic tourism relying on hospitality.
With 42.000 owner-members, the Gîtes de France are the first countryside holidays chain in Europe. Each year, 2500 new structures open. The fame of the Gîtes de France label, together with the practical aspect of use thanks to its Reservation Platform, allowed users loyalty to explode. 78% of the persons who sent their holidays in a labeled accommodation come back in a Gîte de France, 2% of them in the same structure.
For more than 50 years, the Gîtes de France care about promoting some values, in particular sharing, by proposing customised stays by respecting everybody. It’s about creating the perfect conditions for a true contact with nature in a fun and friendly environment. Historical movement still growing, theGîtes de France have a modern philosophy anchored in tradition by favouring tourism close to the inhabitants and the preservation of rural areas, its heritage and its environment while participating to local development. In each department, the departmental offices, associations under the law of 1901, advise and assist creators of gîtes. All these partners create a solidarity network, united by a common will of promoting quality and welfare to their hosts.
Whether a farmer from several generations or a stranger, each owner made the choice, by creating a gîte de France, to open himself to the world. He welcomes tourists everyday and help them in their quest for local authentic products and welfare. His main quality : an availability at all times. He has to be friendly, a good manager and a little bit of a tinkerer. Because what makes a good gîte, is its authenticity. Each one of its stones keeps the imprint of local architecture and is decorated by the owner. Entering a gîte de France, it’s like entering in a house of people we don’t know yet but that may become friends. Each house is unique, different. It carries a whole story, the story of the men who built this country, the story of thepeople who welcome you.
