Five festive French homes

These cosy properties on the market would be the perfect place to spend Christmas

€795,000, Dordogne, Nouvelle Aquitaine

Christmas dinners would be taken to another level in this place! Currently run as a successful gîte business, this magnificent 16-bedroom château in Dordogne is set in 28 acres of grounds and comes with four guest houses, two pools and more outbuildings than you can shake a stick at – and it’s less than €800,000.

On the market with My French House

€585,000, Dordogne, Nouvelle Aquitaine

Houses don’t get much cosier than this. 20 minutes from the town of Sarlat in Dordogne is this four-bedroom home, which has a perfect balance of tasteful luxury and comfy cottage. Although you might not make much use of the swimming pool in winter, you could have a brisk stroll around your 1.7 hectares of land before warming up by that lovely fireplace.

On the market with Sextant

€179,000, Hérault, Occitanie

Who says it has to be cold to be festive? This lovely little house is in a pretty village half an hour from Béziers in the south of France, and has three bedrooms, cosy living areas and a little terrace, rare for a property like this. Winters could be spent taking part in village festivities and cooking up a storm in that traditional kitchen.

On the market with Artaxa

€845,000, Combloux, Haute-Savoie

Who wouldn’t want to wake up on Christmas morning and see snow-capped mountains out of their bedroom window? This beautiful five-bedroom chalet in Combloux would be an idyllic place to get the family together for the festive season.

On the market with My Dream Home Alps

€69,000, Morbihan, Brittany

We’ve featured this cottage on the website and in the magazine before, but how could we not, it’s just so sweet! Imagine spending Christmases tucked away in this little home with a sprinkling of snow on the garden…
