• B & B's/Rental Homes (Gîtes)

  From Americans in France

  As the tourist season is just around the corner, I thought I'd send out a list of B&Bs and Gîtes that I have on my site.

  If you never have stayed in a Chambre d'hôte (B&B) or Gîte (Rental Home) in France, it's a great way to enjoy your vacation and not stay in an impersonal hotel, meet locals and eat a home cooked breakfast. It can often be cheaper than a hotel and of course the food is better!

  To list your Gîte or Bed & Breakfast please contact me.

  In 2006 and early 2007 the entire manoir was sensitively restored and refurbished to the most exacting standards by the present owners. As specialists in Antiques and Interior Design, their revival of Le Verger has truly captured the essence of a more elegant time when the art of life and entertaining were at their summit. Le Verger now offers a number of excellent packages ranging from luxury Chambres d'Hotes accommodation through to exclusive rental of the manoir for private and corporate events, vacations and incentive travel.
