French Countryside Home Rentals

Escape to the enchanting hills of the French countryside. Marvel at the views, embrace the culture and enjoy all the food options the region has to offer. Renting a house in France can be a spectacular getaway. A time to enjoy the small villages dotting this beautiful land. Sure there are several chateaus across the country, but to have a home, maybe with a private pool, is a satisfying way to spend your vacation.

Renting a house can be a little intimidating for some, but it's so common these days, it's almost like renting a hotel room. The huge plus is the ability to rent a gorgeous house for around the same price as a hotel.

Below I have a list of homes that I would recommend based on the amenities and location. For each home I have the nightly price for rental (based on the second week in July 2020.) Then, in the little charts, I break down how much the house comes out to per room. This lets you know that the huge price tags some rental homes come with, are really a bargain. For example, a six house that rents for $1000 a night. Sounds pricey right, but when you look at the cost per room of only $167, that's a steal! So for this example house, maybe you have 3 families going in on a house together, the cost per family would be $334 per night. It's like getting a penthouse suite for a fraction of the price.

So, with that, I hope you enjoy reviewing the homes below!
