Superb townhouse

Just a short distance from the riverside, this family-friendly vacation home lets you experience it all. Jump into your car and make short work of the 3-minute drive to Morvan or the 16-minute drive to Vezelay Abbey (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime).

After you return, you can unwind in the garden or sip a drink on the deck or patio. As for the great indoors, you can come inside and enjoy the TV.

This 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom rental features a dining area, a BBQ grill, and an office. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer, towels, 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.
