De la Chambre d'Hôtes au Gîte de Groupe en passant par les City Breaks ou les Gîtes ruraux, vous trouverez ici toutes les définitions des différents types d'hébergements labellisés Gîtes de France.
Each rural gite is a holidays location comfortably equipped to let you enjoy the charm of a house with a living-room, bedrooms, sanitaries and kitchen.
The environment is of top quality, whether in the countryside, nearby the sea or in the mountains, and privileges outdoor spaces, tranquilityand calm.
A familial welcoming where availability, conviviality, and exchanges are the key values, inviting you to discovery, and a generosity which enhances relationships between the owners and the tourists.
The architecture of our gites is as various as the hidden pleasures that you will discover in there: no matter where you stay, all the assets of nature and each of its landscapes will be just a few steps away.
The range of gîtes we propose is wide, from 2 up to more than 10 persons.
Some owners have several adjacent gîtes which may welcome several families who want to stay in the same place.

Always included in the price per night, a copious breakfast will be a good occasion for you to discover various local recipes. Depending on the address and the inspiration of the owners, you’ll enjoy homemade jams, fresh bread, but also homemade pastries, local cheeses and cure meats. It will be a nice moment of exchanges and conviviality, just at the beginning of the day.
Some bed and breakfasts and guesthouses propose the ‘’Table d’Hôtes’’ package, where you’ll have the opportunity to taste regional recipes and conviviality.
The ‘’table d’hôtes’’ meal will allow you to share, depending on the addresses, either a family or a gastronomic meal. The ’’table d’hôtes’’ is only opened to the people staying in the bed and breakfasts; it’s not a restaurant, so it is recommended that you tell the owners if you would like to enjoy this feature when you book.

You can choose between small sites, most of the time at the farm, or larger sites with animations and leisure equipments, sometimes with chalets and mobile-homes in a quality environment.

All the sites are located on shady green fields with a good exposition and accessible no matter the weather. They propose a privileged space because the number of grounds is limited and the space allocated to each camper is incredibly vast (300 to 400 m² per ground). Often found nearby farms, you’ll be able to enjoy the taste of local products. You will enjoy the joys of nature as well as leisure equipments made available by the owners. The Gîtes de France quality label guarantee precise comfort standards (1,2,3 or 4 ears) and the respect of a national charter. All the camping sites are classified depending on their environment, their comfort and their services, and reclassified at least once every 5 years. The camping sites and leisure chalets of theGîtes de France network are now represented by a new brand : ‘’Pré-Vert’’. |
