Historic self-catering in France

Pierre & Vacances is highlighting four of its historic self-catering properties in France.

The Customs Building, Deauville

The Customs House, located at the north-eastern end of the Touques peninsula in Deauville, is one of the oldest surviving buildings in the seaside resort.

Built between 1861 and 1866, and back then the Customs Barracks, the initial house comprised offices for customs officers on the ground floor and accommodation in the upper parts.

Pierre & Vacances has protected and restored the building while highlighting its 19th century architectural heritage.

Fort de la Rade, Ile d'Aix

Ile d'Aix is a small-pedestrianised island on the Atlantic Coast some 30 km south of La Rochelle. Located on the southern tip of the isle, the Fort de la Rade was built in 1703 to control access to the Aix harbour.

In 1757, it was razed to the ground by the English, before being completely rebuilt and then regularly modernised.

Pierre & Vacances has now renovated the 3* Le Fort de la Rade, which is located 300 metres from the pier, the beach and the shops.

Residence Le Moulin des Cordeliers, Loches

Loches is a medieval town and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The 3* Residence Le Moulin des Cordeliers, in the centre of the town was once a former industrial sized flour mill from the 19th century.

The former small sardine port, at the end of Baie de Douarnenez in Morgat, is now a seaside in the Crozon peninsula in Brittany.

Located in the Armorique natural park, the Cap Morgat residence has been fitted out in a former fort overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.
