A "Gite" is a private, self-catering rental accommodation. To my knowledge, all gites have their own entrance, kitchen, bathroom, etc, either as a self-contained section of someone's home or as a completely separate guest house. There are a handful of Gites near Disneyland Paris, one of which is owned and operated by the Galindo family, friends of mine: Gîte les Nymphéas. We dined at the Galindo's but didn't tour the gite. Here's a photo from their web page on Top Rural, a website dedicated to finding gites in a country setting:
The gardens are beautiful and the Galindos are nice folks. Gîte les Nymphéas is located in the heights above Crécy la Chapelle, just down the street from Kevin Dust, who plays Sitting Bull in Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show, about 2 minutes from the A4, 10 minutes drive to Disneyland Paris Resort or (in the other direction) the medieval French village of Meaux, and about 30 minutes from Paris. Check it out if you require accommodation for yourself, friends or relatives, as an option to a hotel.
