Self catering accommodation in France is an economical option for your holiday, and often more flexible and practical than staying in a hotel. You can have fun finding some tasty bargains at the local market, and save money by eating at home. Of course it’s still possible to find cheap places to eat well in France – we will always pass on our local knowledge and budget tips from our previous clients. We like to think that all our holidays are reasonably priced, but everyone’s wants, needs and tastes are different and we aim to offer something to suit all budgets. Maybe a private pool isn’t really necessary if the holiday villa is within striking distance of the coast? Maybe the latest thing in interior design isn’t a priority if you’re hoping to spend most of your time outdoors?


Our previous clients have spent very happy holidays in the following properties which offer exceptional value for money. If you are tightening your belt in these money-conscious times, but would still like to enjoy a wonderful holiday in France, read on….. And don’t forget to check our Special Offers page!
