If reconnecting with nature is important to you and you want an authentic family experience, we urge you to schedule a farm holiday very soon. Our selection of farm accommodation makes it easy to find a comfortable pied-à-terre, whether it's a gîte or a chambre d'hôtes. Among them, you have the opportunity to set your sights on a bucolic corner, with accommodation including half or full board. It may overlook a superb vineyard, a large lake or be just a stone's throw from a body of water. Inside the gîte or guest room, you'll enjoy all the comforts you'd expect from a farm holiday (fully equipped kitchen, wifi connection, etc.). The gîtes we're talking about have the distinctive feature of being located right on a farm. Farmhouse gîtes also offer a unique cultural experience during your holiday. Travellers can discover the local culture and traditions by visiting local farmers' markets, sampling the region's culinary specialities and taking part in farming activities such as milking cows, picking fruit and vegetables or making cheese. Farmhouse owners are often passionate farmers and happy to share their passion for their work with travellers. So if you're looking to get out of the city and have a relaxing holiday, farm holidays can be a great option.

Whatever corner you choose for your holiday, it will be a great way to sample healthy cuisine, made with delicious farm produce, by selecting a bed and breakfast with table d'hôtes by reservation.

Discovering a farm is an activity in its own right that will leave you and your children with indelible memories. This inevitably involves getting up close to chickens, goats, sheep and all the other animals emblematic of such an environment.
During your nature holiday on the farm, the owners will be able to introduce you to various tasks such as feeding, picking, milking...
Depending on the accommodation chosen, children have the opportunity to have fun on a swing and various other outdoor games. For entertainment, whatever your age, you should also explore the surrounding area, where you'll often find tennis courts, golf courses and bodies of water suitable for fishing and/or swimming.
Is your farmhouse gîte or bed and breakfast close to a water sports centre? In that case, you'd be well advised to try your hand at paddle-boarding, canoeing or other water sports! At the end of the day, the meal you're about to enjoy will be all the tastier, especially if you've opted to book a table d'hôtes with rave reviews.
