Selva Ecolodge & Spa in the Woods.

There are no shortage of beautiful Airbnbs in France, from cute forest hideaways to luxurious family villas with water slides. I’ve put together this curated collection of all my favourite France Airbnbs – everything I’ve bookmarked when researching for all our France trips. Practically all the Airbnbs in this post are family-friendly, but I also have a guide to special places to stay in France with kids if you’d prefer a hotel or guesthouse.

If you’re planning a trip to France, also see all our other France guides, which I’ve handily put onto one France travel page. It includes road trip itineraries, city guides and plenty of tips for France holidays.
