Close to birdwatching, cycling, and more, this pet-friendly vacation home brings it all within reach. Jump into your car and make short work of the 18-minute drive to Circuit Pau-Arnos or the 23-minute drive to Museum of La Faience et des Arts de la table (and enjoy the property's convenient covered onsite parking in the meantime).

After you return to this 1615-sq-ft vacation home, unwind in the garden or sip a drink on the deck or patio, and don't forget about the outdoor furniture. As for the great indoors, you can come inside and enjoy the TV.

This 4-bedroom, 1-bathroom rental features a dining area, a BBQ grill, and a fireplace. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, a microwave, and cookware. And because there's access to laundry facilities, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.
