tonyinfrance Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Hi - we're on our way to our annual gardening labours in Provence May/June and we'll be looking for a quality gite on the way down the last week of May (Burgundy or slightly north) and also on the way back mid June (Sarthe would be ideal) in each case for a week.It would be nice to stay at a Forum member's property but if that doesn't work out can anyone recommend the best sites to search on?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cendrillon Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 You could look on Gites de France, Owners direct, French Connections for a start but there are loads of other popular websites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperlola Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I might well be able to help - any specific date? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyinfrance Posted April 7, 2011 Author Share Posted April 7, 2011 Thanks Cendrillon: I already checked Gites De France and was surprised at how few choices there were, but I'll certainly try the other sites.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyinfrance Posted April 7, 2011 Author Share Posted April 7, 2011 Hello Cooperlola: outbound will be May 22 - 28 and return will be June 11 - 18. I recall you have a contact maybe NE of La Fleche or was it Le Mans?Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperlola Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 We are north east of LM and my friends have a really lovely gite just up the road. Obviously the return leg of your trip is race week so I expect they are booked up but I can but ask! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyinfrance Posted April 7, 2011 Author Share Posted April 7, 2011 Thanks again Cooperlola - we return the same time every year and I always forget it's race week!I think we'll look for something a bit further to the south of LM but many thanks for the comments.CheersTony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyinfrance Posted April 12, 2011 Author Share Posted April 12, 2011 Thanks for the tip Cooperlola: in fact the house looked so good on the website I contacted the owner but unfortunately it's fully booked in June.Although I have seen on other threads that the gite business is tough, it's remarkably hard to find a good property in a good location.......Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
