The characteristics of the gîtes in our guide :

Definition: what is a group gîte?

A group gîte is accommodation for several people. In these XXL furnished apartments, 10, 15 or even more people can stay together.

Group gîtes are usually country houses or old castles.

Whether medieval, rustic or contemporary, these buildings all feature a large living room, a fully-equipped kitchen and a dozen or so beds. Beds can be in single rooms or in dormitories.

The aim of group gîtes is to create real communities. That's why the emphasis is on conviviality and sharing.

In a group gîte, meals are prepared in a spacious kitchen and enjoyed around a large table. Curled up in their quilts, participants have the opportunity to tell each other about their days before falling asleep just a few meters apart.

Staying in a group gîte is not something you can talk about. It's an experience that transforms each participant.

What are the different types of group gîtes?

Currently, the Fédération nationale des gîtes de France recognizes four different categories of establishment. And the quality of the services provided is unique to each one. So be sure to get all the information you need before opting to rent a room in one of these centers.

Stopover gîte (hiking)

In this case, the group gîte is less than two kilometers from a hiking trail. To help you find your way through the woods (or hills), the manager or owner lives on site. And he'll be happy to tell you more about the gîte's signposting and the trail to follow, always with a big smile.

The holiday cottage

Staying at a group B&B categorized as "leisure" means you're sure to have a great time. You'll find a plethora of activities to keep you entertained. At the same time, the gîte is obliged to provide a minimum of equipment and qualified supervisors.

The seminar lodge

If you're planning a spiritual retreat or workshop, this is the place to rent a room. Nestled deep in the mountains, on heavenly beaches or in dreamlike forests, these group gites include :

  • meeting rooms ;
  • a catering service capable of adapting to your needs;
  • Internet connection (optional) ;
