With Pure France, experience authentic, comfortable, and sunny France. What if you took the time to discover the richness and diversity of France's most beautiful regions? From the hills of Provence to the verdant valleys of the Dordogne, from the wild beaches of the south-west to the medieval villages of Languedoc, every corner of France has its own unique charm.

At Pure France, we select vacation homes in the most beautiful regions of the country, to offer authentic, comfortable, and memorable stays. Here's our tour of France's favorite destinations.

Provence: Light, Lavender, and Hilltop Villages

It's impossible to resist the charm of Provence. Between lavender fields, colorful markets, cicadas, and sunsets over the hills, this region is an invitation to slow down and savor. Our Provençal houses, often made of stone, feature private pools, flower gardens, and breathtaking views. Ideal for a romantic or family stay.

Don't miss: the Saint-Remy-de-Provence market, the Cassis coves, and a chilled rosé in the shade of the plane trees.

The Dordogne: Nature, Gastronomy, and Heritage

A true gem of the Southwest, the Dordogne seduces with its bucolic atmosphere, its listed villages, its châteaux, and its generous gastronomy.

Pure France homes often offer spacious outdoor spaces, swimming pools surrounded by greenery, and a peaceful atmosphere, ideal for nature and history lovers. Not to be missed: Sarlat, the Lascaux caves, a canoe trip on the Dordogne, and duck confit.
