Julia Child's French cottage up for rent

Features

Cooking sensation Julia Child passed away at the age of 91 in 2004, but incredibly, her cottage in France remained intact, exactly as she left it. Recently, an American couple, Evie and Makenna Johnston, purchased the property, turning into an exclusive Airbnb listing. Now, for $610 per night, you can stay in Julia's cottage, cook with her pots and pans, and imagine that you're one of the greatest culinary masters of the 20th century.

Julia and her husband used the cottage as a getaway from 1963 to 1992. They called the property “La Pitchoune,” meaning “little one,” but over time the name was affectionately shortened to “La Peetch.”

At just 1,500 square feet, the cottage really is a “little one.” However, with three bedrooms and no added cost for extra guests, it's ideal for friends and family who don't mind staying in close quarters.
