Gîte
From Halal Explorer
Gîte is a French word for a type of travel lodging. The meaning varies with the dialect of French:
- In France, it generally means a furnished cottage with a kitchen, and the whole place is usually rented by the week for a family or other group travelling together. Gîtes ruraux are holiday cottages, gîtes d'étape are very basic overnight lodgings for hikers. See France#B.26Bs_and_G.C3.AEtes|B&Bs and Gîtes in the France eHalal Travel Guide.
- In Quebec, a cottage is a chalet; a gîte du passant or gîte et déjeuner is a bed and breakfast which rents individual rooms overnight. See Québec#Sleep.
