Situated in the heart of the French countryside, this rural gîte offers a private and tranquil place to call home for those looking to escape the pressures of daily life. A short stroll from the charming village of Villers en Arthies, you'll find local shops and restaurants, while the surrounding fields provide a scenic backdrop for your afternoon walks. And, if you're looking for a little excitement, the lodge is approximately an hour's drive from thrilling Paris. Back at home, days begin with a cup of coffee out in the garden, complete with a patio dining area and barbecue for those cosy meals at home. Stepping inside, you'll find a comfortable living area, cocooned by rustic wooden beams, brick walls, and sloped ceilings. Sink into one of the squishy sofas with a good book, as natural sunlight pours in through the skylights overhead. With stylish furnishings, homey decorative details, literature and board games, you and your family or group of friends will soon fall settle into this quaint country abode.

About France

You could easily take a lifetime’s worth of French holidays and still feel like you haven’t scratched the nation’s surface. The most visited country in the world, France has long inspired artists, revolutionaries, dreamers, and bons vivants with its storybook landscapes, artistic treasures, and cultural idiosyncrasies. Paris is, of course, the country’s glittering centrepiece but there are countless beauty spots worth discovering outside of the City of Light. Sun yourself...
