Close to kayaking, birdwatching, and more, this family-friendly vacation home brings it all within reach. Jump into your car and make short work of the 5-minute drive to Cadouin Abbey or the 10-minute drive to Les Grottes de Maxange (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime).

After you return, you can unwind by the outdoor pool or sip a drink in the garden; you may also like the outdoor furniture and 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 a pool table and a DVD player for your enjoyment.

This 4-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom rental features a dining area, a fireplace, and air conditioning. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer, towels, and toilet paper. The kitchen is equipped with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and a lobster pot. And because there's a washer and dryer, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.
