The 52 best homes to rent in France, 2025 edition
Weeks Off is a carefully curated selection of unique hospitality homes, each brought to life by passionate owners.
Our collection showcases the most inspiring properties — places that stand out for their character, location, design, architecture, and level of service, all reflecting the work of hosts driven by a true spirit of hospitality. In July 2024, we launched 52 Weeks Off, our first printed guide: a true expression of our editorial vision and creative ambition.
This year, the printed guide is back in an expanded edition — with even more editorial content: interviews, travel guides, photo features… — plus our 2025 selection of the 52 most beautiful vacation homes to rent across France. Here’s a sneak peek at what you’ll find inside.
The most beautiful country homes
to rent
Heading to the Moulin in the Perche.
A countryside setting doesn’t mean sacrificing style — quite the opposite. An old mill in the Perche, a beautifully restored farmhouse, a small house by the Seine, or a sprawling estate surrounded by trees: when heading to the countryside, the least you can expect is to feel even better than at home. For a breath of fresh air, here are the best bucolic getaways, all within easy reach of Paris!
If you’re looking to escape to greener pastures, another equally charming option is to explore the picturesque medieval towns that give the French countryside its unique character.
In these villages, ancient stone houses and beautiful historic buildings offer travelers a perfect blend of nature and culture — for holidays full of authenticity and history.
The most beautiful homes
to rent in Provence
With endless fields of lavender, charming hilltop villages, and sun-drenched landscapes, Provence sets the perfect scene for an unforgettable escape.
Whether you’re drawn to a traditional mas surrounded by olive trees, an elegant bastide with a pool, or a contemporary villa nestled among the vineyards, Weeks Off has curated the finest properties to rent in Provence — true havens of peace where luxury meets the art of living.
And who better than Bosc Architectes — the brother duo who have become a reference in the Alpilles and beyond — to talk about the new generation of Provençal homes?
Several of their beautifully revamped properties feature in our 2025 selection of the best vacation homes to rent…
