  1. gite

    A gîte (French pronunciation: ​[ʒit]) is, typically, a holiday rental home in France, but there are many interpretations of the term 'gîte'. They range from a gîtes d'etape, a hostel, for walkers and cyclists, to a gîte rural, a holiday home in the country available for rent, often an accessory dwelling unit. The term gîte originally meant quite simply a form of shelter. Gîtes d'etape, which resemble mountain huts, or youth hostel, usually provide meals and have dormitory accommodation. They are found along Grande Randonnée long distance trails. The holiday homes type are fully furnished and equipped for self-catering. Some owners may also provide meals.It is often suggested that a gite is a property whose owner lives nearby and can provide a warm welcome to guests, but the word is frequently used (or misused) in a much wider sense. Gîtes are generally old farmworkers' cottages or converted outbuildings and barns. This type of holiday accommodation is sometimes regarded as "basic"' in terms of facilities; however, most gîtes are generally very well kept, and a growing number will have fully fitted kitchens, en-suite bathrooms, TV, DVD, and access to a swimming pool or other sporting activities. The term gîte encompasses most forms of holiday cottage and even holiday flats or apartments. Many gîtes will also accept pets. Some gîtes do not provide linen as standard, so many gîte holidaymakers take their linen with them. However, many gîte owners do include linen at least as an option. Gîtes are encouraged by the local tourist board and planning authorities since they attract investment and tourism. Gîte owners are required to ensure that their gîtes are safe and comply with the necessary rules, regulations, and insurance requirements. In French-speaking regions of Europe, there are several associations of gîte owners. Gîtes de France is an organization where people can rent gîtes in France.
