Product Description

You can trust this guide, as each place has been carefully selected and visited 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, helpful symbols and quick reference indices are an added bonus. Our approach is unusual and subjective. There are no set rules, no interminable checklists and no hard and fast criteria for inclusion. We look for what we like, and celebrate the unusual, the beautiful and the individual.

Customer Reviews

French Holiday Homes, Hotels, Châteaux & Inns
This is yet another great guide from the Alastair Sawday series. The selection of properties is very impressive, as are the properties themselves. The only problem is trying to select one! I have used these guides to book accommodation in Italy, Britain and Ireland previously, and have always been rewarded with a really "special place to stay". I look forward to booking my trip to France from this guide, the only trouble is trying to select one!!!

You'd be mad to book a French holiday without it!!
If you haven't come across the Sawdays Guides before you are certainly missing out. We've stayed in over 60 Bed and Breakfasts, holiday homes and hotels recommended by these guides and we've never had a problem with any of them. To say these guides (and the people that compile them) do their job well is an understatement. French holiday Homes is a real gem, well researched and full of the best that France has to offer.

As with all Sawday's guides it is well laid out and easy to find what you're looking for. It has a good selection of properties covering the whole of France. Importantly the properties covered in the guide are affordable and always good value for money. Prices start from under 200 Euros, though if you want your very own castle it does cost a little more than that!!

If you're planning to go to France and need accommodation I couldn't recommend this book highly enough. You won't regret buying this book, but if you book a French villa, Gite or apartment without it you might. This book can be the making of a wonderful holiday where you'll remember the accommodation as much as the scenery, wine and food!!
