Close to a water park, horse riding, and more, this family-friendly cottage brings it all within reach. Jump into your car and make short work of the 4-minute drive to Perche Regional Nature Park or the 14-minute drive to Château de La Loupe (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime).

After you return, you can unwind by the communal pool or sip a drink in the garden; you may also like the outdoor furniture and BBQ grill. As for the great indoors, you can try your hand at foosball, or enjoy the free WiFi and cable/satellite TV.

This 4-bedroom, 1-bathroom rental features a sofa bed and a desk. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and a microwave. And you won't have to pack extra clothes, because you'll also have access to laundry facilities.
