Close to ecotours, cycling, and more, this pet-friendly vacation home brings it all within reach. Jump into your car and make short work of the 20-minute drive to Auxerre Clock Tower or the 21-minute drive to Stade de l'Abbe-Deschamps (and enjoy the property's convenient covered onsite parking in the meantime).

Relax in the garden (enjoy the outdoor furniture!) of this 1615-sq-ft vacation home, which also offers a BBQ grill. When you come inside, connect to the free WiFi or get cozy in front of the TV (video library available). There's also video games, a DVD player, and a stereo for your enjoyment.

A dining area and a fireplace are featured at this 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom rental. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer and toilet paper. 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 because there's a washer and dryer, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.
