We provide an online direct advertising services for owners of gites in France (Holiday Cottages France) and ski chalets in France. Information about the holiday gites / villas / chalets is provided to us by the property owner, which we take in good faith to be a true representation of the property / properties.

To make it easy to plan your holidays in France, our main French Holiday Cottages listings provide brief details of the rental properties offering French holidays, including external and internal pictures, the range of prices, and contact details for the owners. In most cases, clicking on the photographs will take you to further information, either on the owner's own web site, or on a full page for the vacation property on our site.

When contacting the property owner, please try to make sure that you mention that you found them on our site - it works best for everyone that way - owners stay with us, more come on board, you get more choice next time etc etc!! If you do agree to rent one of the properties listed on our site, you deal directly with the owner, with whom you have your contract. Whilst we therefore cannot play a significant part in any disputes arising, we will do our best to achieve a satisfactory outcome for you in the unlikely event that you are dissatisfied with your accommodation.

When booking a property, you will be expected to pay an initial deposit to secure it. The deposit varies between properties, but is normally taken as a percentage of the rent due for the period. Owners should acknowledge receipt of your deposit and thus confirm their acceptance of your booking for the period agreed, subject to them receiving the balance of payment within the period they specify. You may also be asked to provide a deposit to cover against damages during your stay, which will normally be retained until after your departure and returned to you if no damages occurred.
