OUR PROMISE:
To provide distinctive vacation rental homes at excellent values while offering
the most professional, knowledgeable and personalized service available

At Home in France is a specialty agency assisting travelers to France in renting vacation homes in the French countryside and apartments in Paris. Our distinctive portfolio features over 350 privately-owned apartments, cottages, farmhouses, manorhouses and villas located in France’s most popular regions - Provence, Dordogne, Languedoc, Côte d’Azur, Normandy, Brittany and the Loire Valley.

As our name suggests, France is our specialty. Every year, we travel to France to inspect properties. Our standards are rigorous, ensuring that properties meet the requirements and expectations of our clients. Whether modest or deluxe, traditional or contemporary, all of our homes have to pass one critical test: "Would we be happy to stay there ourselves?"

When you contact us, you'll learn much more than photos can convey. Based on our first-hand knowledge of the properties, we’ll tell you candidly what we think of the home(s) you’ve selected – the layout, the decor, the amenities, the setting. And once we know more about your style and preferences, we can suggest other properties you may not have considered. We want you to have the perfect surroundings to discover the pleasures of life in the French countryside and in France’s capital city. In short, we want you to feel "At Home in France."

When going to France, work with experts. Allow us to introduce the owners of At Home in France, Allyn Kaufmann and Bruce Dicoskey. When you choose At Home in France, you’ll work with them directly and take full advantage of their expertise.

Allyn was bitten by the travel bug as a teenager when she studied French and Spanish. She has been involved in France-related endeavors for 35 years as an educator, editor and entrepreneur. She has lived, worked and traveled extensively throughout France and speaks fluent French.

Bruce is an enthusiastic European traveler and has explored France, England, Switzerland and Spain to date. France is clearly his first love and he has traveled widely there. Together, Allyn and Bruce have helped thousands of satisfied clients from throughout the United States (as well as Latin America, Europe, Asia and Australia) discover wonderful vacation homes and experience French life first-hand.

Enjoy expert advice and personalized service. Allyn and Bruce listen carefully to your desires and needs and then recommend those homes that will meet your expectations. And our service includes responding to all your questions and concerns, before, during and after your trip. Prior to departure and following your return, contact our office at any time. We’re happy to help you design your itinerary and reserve a rental car. For other aspects of your trip, such as air and ground transportation, we can make suggestions or refer you to professional colleagues whose services we are proud to recommend. While you’re in France, we have colleagues available to assist you.

Consult our references. Celebrating 12 years in business,
At Home in France has operated since 1995. Throughout the years, our company has earned a reputation for honesty and integrity. But it is only natural for prospective clients to be hesitant about dealing with a company found through an internet listing. We're glad to provide references whom you may feel free to contact.

We are a member in good standing of the Ashland, Oregon Chamber of Commerce. You can contact its office for a reference
(541 482-3486). Please ask for Sandra Slattery, the Executive Director, or Susan Funk, the Membership Manager.

If you would like to reserve one of our properties, you may also contact clients who can vouch for our services. To do so, contact us directly and we can make the appropriate arrangements.

 
  We look forward to helping you find your vacation home in France!
