Need a big place in France, anyone help?

DeVore

need to find a Villa in France....

anyone know where I could find something like this??
help gratefully received.

I need to sleep 16-20 people.
It should preferably be in the north of france.
A cluster of small houses in the same farm/country house would be ok. or a big chateau. or anything really, just so long as its reasonably secluded and not shared with other groups.
Self Catering is a must, we cook for ourselves.
Perferably with a common eating area where everyone can sit together in the evening...

If anyone knows somewhere I can find such a thing I'd be grateful as I dont know where to start looking to be honest.

Not exactly the north of France but weather is mild and Brittany is a beautiful part of the country in my opinion.

that would have been perfect but the price is unreal....!
6K-10K (I'm presuming a week!)
even with 16 of us thats a grand for a fortnight each...

still... nice place!

Sheesh, that should be nothing to a rich dotcommer like you!

But seriously, yes it does sound excessive, but are you sure that's the price per week?
E-mail them to check, you never know, that could be the price per month.
Or, it could be the price per night

by far the shortest ferry journey , Cork to Roscoff is only 14/16 hours, and the weather will be better than Normandy.

perhaps the tourist office in Quimper (beautful town) can help you, didn't have time to look at it, so don't know how helpful it is.

they have e.mail addresses for each town, perhaps you could inquire direct to the office, they maybe able to steer you in the right direction.

my sister has lived near Quimper for 14 years now, I will be talking to her this week, if she has any ideas I'll let you know.

DeVore

Thanks guys, appreciate the help. Good ideas Ber, I'll send some of them emails...

Try the Britttany Ferries Gite book. We've been using them for years, you get superb houses (or whatever) and the prices are very good. They would be fully furnished,self catering places.
Just give them (brittany ferries) a ring and they'll sort you out.
