The best of France is here - châteaux, chalets and dovecotes, beamy farmhouses, cottages and convents – all sorts of restorations and clever conversions; for 2 or for 20. Splendidly old-fashioned or exotically modern - prepare to be delighted and surprised by some 400 places to stay, including places of deep comfort with open fires, salt-water pools, roll-top baths and stunning, sunning terraces. However, there are bargains here, with many places at less than €150 per person per week.

You can trust this guide, as each place has been carefully chosen after visiting – we choose only those places that we find special. Honest descriptions enable readers to choose a holiday home that is perfect for them. Clear maps, colour photos, helpful symbols and quick reference indices are an added bonus.
