France is the most popular holiday destination in the world, welcoming around 80 million tourists a year so there’s plenty of scope to tap into the demand. A gite business in France offers so much freedom - an income generated on your own terms:

* you can open your doors as often as you like

* there is no need to commute

* you can get creative and design a look that's entirely unique to you

* it can be a second income stream to run along side other work you might be doing

* you have the space for large gatherings of family and friends, while the space pays its' way the rest of the year.
