If you're planning on France holidays this Christmas season, you might want to stay at French gites for a change. A gite is a holiday home that is rent out fully furnished by the owners. These furnished holiday lettings are self-catering and of a fairly high standard. Spread all over France, French gites are ideal for accommodating the whole family.
General Features of Gites
French gites provide more than adequate lodgings during your France holidays. Although usually converted cottages once used by farm workers, gites contain all the necessary modern conveniences to make a memorable stay. The owners reside close to the gites to provide you with a warm welcome and offer any necessary assistance during your stay. Typical French gites would boast en-suite bathrooms, TV and DVD as well as a fully equipped kitchen. Some may have adjacent swimming pools and access to outdoor recreational activities. French gites these days encompass holiday apartments, cottages and flats.
Gites in Normandy
One of the premier destinations of anyone who's considering France holidays is the beautiful region of Normandy with its long coastline and spectacular countryside. If that's where you're headed then you'll be thrilled to find that gites in Normandy make for excellent accommodation especially in the lush interior. You can choose to stay in one of several different class of French gites, namely gite rural - an independent holiday home situated in the countryside, up in the mountains or even by the sea shore. The self contained holiday accommodation ensures total privacy in luxurious surroundings with quality furnishing and fittings.
Rural French Gites
When exploring Normandy, you may want to rest in picturesque villages that dot the landscape of rural France. French gites are common in these quaint hamlets inhabited by warm, generous and hospitable folk. You can forget the hustle and bustle of your busy cosmopolitan life when you're immersed in quiet France holidays amidst tranquil surroundings. Admire the lush, green valleys which are home to sturdy traditional Norman cottages standing secure with heavy timber.
One such quiet village is Lonlay L'Abbaye. It derives its name from the local Abbey, built in the 11th century by then Lord of Domfort, Count Belleme. This focal point of spirituality and reverence was home to the Benedictine monastic order known today as the St Benoit-sur-Loire. Now the parish church, the Lonlay Abbey has withstood numerous challenges to its structure and existence over its nearly one thousand years of existence.
As you soak in the atmosphere of your France holidays, repose at one of the luxury gites in Normandy situated just walking distance from Lonlay L'Abbaye, Le Manoir Nezement. Set smack in the middle of 10 acres of breathtaking countryside, the luxury gite rural in this 18th century English owned manor house has a fully equipped kitchen, comfortable bedrooms and free wifi broadband access for you to stay in touch with friends.
