Find A Luxury Vacation Rental In France

By Adriana Noton


France possesses a rich historic and cultural background as well as a diverse landscape. A holiday here could take almost any shape. Arrive ready to kayak or swim. Tour an historic winery. Follow in the footsteps of Joan of Arc and other important figures. To prepare yourself for the adventure, book a luxury vacation rental in France which will suit your particular needs.

A number of apartments, houses and villas are available across the country. Popular locations include certain small, old villages. Some retain portions of fortress walls, beautiful and intimate cathedrals, and narrow streets lined with buildings several centuries old. Rented accommodation is often equally old and charming.

A first holiday in France may lead one directly to Paris. This is, after all, home of the Louvre and the Eiffel tower. A couple or family could book an apartment close to public transportation, or within walking distance of many important buildings. After a day spent in awestruck wonder, cafes and chocolate shops offer refreshment for weary, hungry visitors.

Wherever your location, it is typical to find that technology has arrived. Guests often arrive in need of Wi-Fi connection and an iPod dock. Aside from these facilities there might be a business center with printer and fax machine, an entertainment room, and connection to international TV channels.

Owing to the natural beauty of an old country estate and its surrounds, there is little chance of using the DVD player and video game console. Many properties are provided with one or even two outdoor, heated swimming pools. Find a villa with volleyball and tennis courts, a climbing wall, mountain bikes and extensive private walking trails. Make new friends during your tours and invite them to a gourmet dinner. Cook it on the patio using the barbecue, then provide towels so they can relax in the spa.

Large properties are often surrounded by beautiful landscaping. A wide variety of regional and foreign plants will be trained around pathways, fountains and romantic alcoves. Admire the work of centuries before, but also enjoy the skills of a current gardener who keeps it looking lovely. He might be part of a small retinue employed all-year both for your pleasure and that of the owners. Do not be surprised to see a maid, pool keeper and property manager on the premises from time to time.

Guests can expect lavish modern design and furnishings, including custom-made articles from Italy and overseas. Marble, hardwood and parquet frequently feature. Start a blazing fire in your fireplace, perhaps one of the many. Certain luxury villas come equipped with several, especially older homes which had to be heated in this way before furnaces were invented.

Wine and gourmet food are two topics frequently associated with French culture. If you book a French villas in France, expect to enjoy plenty of both. While one person wanders to the village for a bottle of Beaujolais, another could be established in one of two kitchens, either the gourmet kitchen or a more casual facility. Here all necessary tools will be at your disposal for creating a meal worthy of the fine home you chose as the base for an exquisite retreat.
