French Gite Holidays

Take a French gite holiday and relax in the beautiful surroundings of Sablet’s village-life in the sunny South of France.

Sablet and its surrounding areas are known to be among the most delightful destinations to take a French gite holiday. Overlooking the Dentelles de Montmirail hills, this French gite holiday house is the perfect getaway for enjoying all that Provence is rightly famous for.

You can sample the local Cotes du Rhone wines at a multitude of vineyards from this French gite holiday home, cycle Mount Ventoux, explore the ancient roman ruins, and visit many Provencal Markets in neighbouring towns and villages. Or you can simply relax at home in your French gite holiday house, enjoying the peace, and sitting outside enjoying the sunshine.

Sample the local cuisine! There are many excellent French restaurants within easy reach of your French gite holiday place; enjoy the ambience of the alfresco lifestyle whilst savouring local dishes made with herbs de province and flavoured olive oil. Gourmets will be keen to visit the local truffle markets, the agricultural markets selling local produce from small growers, and the specialist food and wine events.

For the art lover and the artist, there is an abundance of scenes to draw and paint, and many local art galleries to visit from your French gite holiday village. If you are an artist you will find the light here spectacular – it is no wonder that Vincent Van Gough and many other famous impressionists chose to live in this region! There is also a feast of cultural delights to enjoy locally from your French gite holiday home, from exhibitions, to concerts, to theatre and much more.

Take a drive across the beautiful lavender fields from your French gite holiday base, stopping off at tucked-away places for a “buvette.” Marvel at the hills and mountains, and at the nearby gorges that surround your French gite holiday home in Sablet.

A French gite holiday is simply the best way to enjoy the freedom and relaxation of Provence. Sablet is, without a doubt, one of the best locations from which to do all these things from your French gite holiday home.
