Editor’s App Choice: Gîtes en France

The range of accommodation available in France, especially in rural areas, is little short of staggering. From welcoming chambres d’hôtes to “bed & breakfasts” and spacier gîtes, the quality of the accommodation on offer is more consistently high than ever. However, finding these places is often tricky if they do not advertise for the English-speaking audience.

So if you are planning a trip to France but need a little inspiration, try this new app, Gîtes en France. State-of-the-art mapping allows you to browse potential accommodation by departement, check out some brief details (in French) and a few photos, then click to access the relevant website, which you can explore in English and make inquiries through.

Gîtes en France is available for iPhone and Android
