French Holidays | Eco-Friendly French Holidays

View all French Holidays

Some say the birth of eco-friendly holidays was the original Holiday Gites in France. They were created in the 1950's so that farmers could diversify and townies could find an affordable and healthy green holiday. Now part of the French (and English) vocabulary, Gite often simply means self catering accommodation in France.

Nowadays, keeping our carbon footprint to a minimum is important to many so if you are looking for Eco-friendly accommodation in France, www.yourfrenchholidays.com offer a number of eco-properties built to exacting environment standards by owners who are passionate about minimising their impact on the planet. A stay in one of our eco-properties will also provide a perfect opportunity to learn more about eco-building projects and this ethos - most owners are extremely keen to share their passion.

Environmentally friendly means many things. On www.yourfrenchholidays.com you can find a gite with a lawn roof, a luxury home featured on Grand Designs - and favoured by Kevin McCloud - available for a self catering holiday or a 19th century Watermill with Chambres d'hotes.

Whether a Luxury Villa, a Skiing Chalet or a more conservative Gite, we understand that eco-friendly accommodation means different things to every holiday maker. On www.yourfrenchholidays.com we make sure our descriptions give you as many details as possible so you can make up your mind knowingly.

If in doubt, you can always contact the Franco-British team on enquiries@yourfrenchholidays.com and we'll answer your questions so your next French Holidays are as eco-friendly as you want them to be.
