Holiday homes in France

You may be sitting at home this winter wondering where to enjoy your leisure time over the next year. Have you considered a second, or holiday home in France?

A park for such homes gives you the autonomy of owning a home in a countryside setting, and greatly reduces the concerns of cost, security and maintenance of an unoccupied home on a private property. The low cost and maintenance of a static caravan / sited mobile home in a park may surprise you.

Open all year around, from January 1st to December 31st, Les Prairies du LaC parkhome is such a park. It offers the serenity of living in the country in a lush green landscape with wildlife, a lake and the ocean nearby. It is situated in Apremont in the Vendee region of France.
