Our largest gite (holiday house with 3 bedrooms) can accommodate up to 8 people and is ideal for a large family or two families sharing. Our smallest gite has just one bedroom and is ideal for a couple or a small family. 

"Quality gite, stunning location, the swimming pool made the holiday for the children, very friendly hosts especially Luc and Tristan. Good beaches, lots to do in the area. All in all a very relaxing and enjoyable holiday - a little more sun next time needed." (G. family, gite 4, from West Yorkshire).

Our gites are ideal for children, with large enclosed gardens, fenced swimming pool, table tennis, bikes for hire, swings and, most importantly, other children on-site for your children to play with. The owners have 3 children.

For those who are interested in meeting people, we have an informal drinks evening in the garden once a week. 

We would also like to thank you for your warm hospitality and the 2 social evenings. This enabled exchange of ideas and allowed people to foster friendships. " (S Family, holiday cottage, from Herts).
