TARN, NEAR CORDES SUR CIEL, SMALL FAMILY CHATEAU WITH COTTAGE

A short distance from hiking trails, horse riding, and more, this family-friendly vacation home lets you experience it all. Jump into your car and make short work of the 16-minute drive to Great Huntsman's House or the 17-minute drive to Forteresse de Penne (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime).

Relax by the outdoor pool or sip a drink in the garden of this 4306-sq-ft vacation home, which also features a deck or patio and outdoor furniture. For a change of scenery, come inside and try your hand at foosball and table tennis, or enjoy the free WiFi, TV, and stereo.

As you settle into this 7-bedroom, 5-bathroom rental, you'll find a BBQ grill and a fireplace. 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 you won't have to pack extra clothes, because you'll also have access to laundry facilities.
