A French holiday home is commonly referred to as a "gîte." Gîtes are typically self-catering accommodations, often located in rural areas, and can range from simple cottages to more luxurious properties. They provide a cozy retreat for travelers looking to experience the French countryside. Additionally, "chalet" is used for holiday homes in mountainous regions, particularly in the Alps.
