Happiness – and the most beautiful countryside rental homes – are in the Perche!

It’s no secret—the Perche has plenty to offer: its proximity to the capital, picturesque villages perfect for a leisurely stroll—Tourouvre-au-Perche, Bellême, Soligny-la-Trappe, Sablons-sur-Huisne, Authon-du-Perche…—delicious local cuisine, and stunning landscapes to explore on foot or by hike. And when it comes to staying here, the local accommodations are just as charming!

Une Maison dans le Perche captivates guests with its unmistakable local charm: terracotta tiles, stone, brick, and lime, all set within a vast, untamed garden nestled between meadows and forests. At Val Gaudry, you’ll spend your vacation in a beautifully renovated 19th-century farmhouse—one you’ll never want to leave. Another Perche gem that delights travelers: Le Moulin, thoughtfully redesigned with a warm, stylish touch in the heart of a bucolic garden. With this curated selection of the region’s finest homes, we’re handing you the Perche for your next getaway!

Three years of renovations have enhanced the old part of the house while adding an extra soul, where the Japanese wabi-sabi spirit blends with the refined comfort of daily life. In Japanese, wabi conveys the beauty of imperfection, balance, and an appreciation for simple pleasures. Here, this philosophy comes to life: the subtle “imperfections” of the materials were preserved to honor the home’s character, allowing time to naturally reveal their patina.

Nestled in the heart of the Perche Regional Natural Park, this peaceful haven is the perfect starting point to explore the paths of the Perche countryside. Close to the three iconic towns of the Perche – Bellême, Nogent-le-Rotrou, and Mortagne-au-Perche – a getaway is a must to wander through their historic centers. The region is full of treasures to discover: mushroom picking, hot air balloon rides, hikes, kayaking, flea markets and antiques galore, bike rides, and not to mention visits to gardens and castles.

Set in a former workshop dating back to 1870, this charming building, with its gable facing Tailleurs Street, sits in the heart of Saint-Cyr-la-Rosière—near Bellême, a Petite Cité de Caractère and ranked the fifth most beautiful village in France in 2019. With a refined décor that seamlessly blends elegance and vintage accents, Vincent has crafted a warm, countryside ambiance across its 250 m².

With its six double bedrooms and a small dormitory accommodating up to four people, Relais Ronsard offers accommodation for up to 16 guests. At the back of the house, a delightful walled garden and a heated pool invite relaxation as soon as the first rays of sunshine appear. Located just 2 hours by car from Paris (1.5 hours by train), it’s the perfect getaway for a bucolic break away from urban bustle. The bonus? A concierge service for a carefree stay.

Just two hours from Paris, Le Moulin is an idyllic getaway in the heart of the Perche Sarthois. Renovated by Lucas and Marine, this former mill – from which it takes its name – retains only the stream that runs through the garden from its past use. Its charm, however, remains intact: the stone walls, preserved in their original state, bear witness to the authenticity of the place, while the entire space has been reimagined with great taste.

The result? A perfect harmony between a bucolic, flower-filled garden and an interior of sophisticated design. From the very first moments, falling in love is inevitable. Lucas, from the duo Hauvette & Madani, has masterfully reimagined the spaces, bringing warmth and refinement to the building. The mill’s main room, once rustic, now features elegant white arches that define the space, a large tiled fireplace, and ultra-comfortable gray sofas.

Instead of a honeymoon in Bora Bora, Juliette and Sébastien took on a very different adventure: transforming this building into a warm and inviting space for reunions and grand celebrations. For a year and a half, Juliette, an interior designer, reimagined the spaces and collaborated with local artisans to breathe new life into the 700 m² estate. Her goal? To create a place where families and friends can come together without ever feeling cramped. A pool table, karaoke, a spacious living room, a fully equipped kitchen, and bedrooms with private bathrooms—everything is designed for comfort and conviviality.

And because the charm of the old is what gives Le Val Gaudry its soul, every iconic element has been carefully preserved: original terracotta tiles, lime plaster, exposed beams, and stone window frames. These timeless details are sure to captivate those who appreciate authenticity and the beauty of historic craftsmanship.

Designed for convivial stays, Maison Sauvage is a unique wooden house featuring a spacious, fully equipped kitchen – perfect for the feasts the owners love hosting with friends –, a large terrace, and a layout designed for the comfort of eight guests. What’s on the agenda? A nature retreat, exploring the Perche, and indulging in local specialties. The bonus? A personal welcome and tailor-made arrival, so guests can focus solely on enjoying their stay.

In the warmer months, life at Maison Sauvage revolves around the outdoors: family walks through the countryside, naps in the hammock, leisurely lunches on the terrace, and strolls through the nearby forest… The possibilities are endless! And when the sun retreats, the chalet-like charm of the interior offers an equally inviting refuge. For the more adventurous, the picturesque villages of Bellême, Rémalard-en-Perche, and Nocé are just a short drive away—20 and 10 minutes, respectively.
