Unusual and unique character properties in France..

France has always been a favourite destination of the brits and we think this must be partly to do with the shared appreciation of character properties. The 'gite' is of course the french equivalent of a rural holiday cottage and provides an ideal base for exploring the french countryside. With medieval villages an towns dotted far and wide, we look at some charming french homes with an unusual twist that caught the eye..
