Seaside holiday rentals
Waking up to the sound of waves, the salty scent of sea air, sunsets that set the horizon on fire: seaside holidays have a way of slowing down time. On Vacancium, you'll find villas and apartments spread along the French coastline, from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean, via the Channel and the North Sea, so you can experience this at your own pace.
A coastline with many faces
Every stretch of the French coast has its own character. Brittany and Normandy stand out for their dramatic tides, cliffs and authentic fishing villages. The Atlantic coast, from the Basque Country to the Vendée, appeals to those who love wide open spaces, surfing and fine sandy beaches. The Mediterranean, with its calmer waters and distinctive light, offers a gentler atmosphere, between rocky coves and long family-friendly beaches. Each region offers a different experience, depending on the mood you're after.
Activities for every pace
The seaside suits both active holidays and quieter, more contemplative ones. You can mix swimming, walks along coastal paths, water sports and visits to charming harbour towns, or simply enjoy a terrace with a view over the water. Local markets, often rich in seafood, add to the experience and give a genuine taste of life by the sea.
Renting directly, with no commission
On Vacancium, rentals are arranged directly between travellers and owners, with no intermediary commission. This makes it easier and more transparent to organise your stay, whether you're planning a long weekend or several weeks by the water.
