Perhaps one of the least discovered regions of France, holiday rentals in Franche-Comte are more likely to be chosen by those hoping to swop the familiar hectic urban environment of home for an authentic experience of daily life in a part of the country where rural customs and traditions still seem to keep modern attitudes and practises firmly at bay, and where the villa, gite and cottage rentals in Franche-Comte occupy such scenically beautiful situations, and are so full of rustic character, charm and peace that you couldn't expect a more relaxing break away from the same old routine if you chose a holiday rental in France anywhere else. While the mighty Alps are just over the Swiss border and in the neighbouring Rhone-Alpes region of France, holiday rental accommodation in Franche-Comte can be found closer to the Jura mountains whose forest-clad slopes form a picturesque boundary that stretches almost the entire length of the eastern side of Franche-Comte - cottage and gite rentals in Jura and Doubs being the most popular option for those planning a skiing vacation when they can often be found within easy reach of a variety of ski resorts offering a wide range of winter sports. But when you'll discover an amazing potential for outdoor activities all year round amongst some of the most diverse and spectacular landscapes in France, a holiday rental in Franche-Comte won't only provide an exciting alternative to skiing in the Alps when there is so much history, culture and natural beauty to explore and so many other sporting and recreational pastimes to enjoy throughout the sunny months of summer.
