Article 13 - Responsibilities and Requirements

We would like to bring to your knowledge the fact that the rental in Residence of Tourism is not part of the responsibility of the hoteliers.

We would like to bring to your knowledge the fact that renting in hotels is part of the responsibility of hoteliers laid down by the French Civil Code. Consequently, in the event of loss, theft or deterioration of personal effects in both housing and common (bicycle) parking spaces or premises, the hotelier's liability will only be incurred within the limits laid down by law.

The limitation for amounts due for services sold by France from the North to the South does not fall within the scope of the hotel prescription (Article 2272 of the Civil Code). As an exception to article 2244 of the Civil Code, the sending of a letter recommended by La France from the North to the South to any debtor client interrupts the requirement applicable in such matters.

In the case of a combination of travel services, the one offered to you is a package within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2015/2032 and Article L.211-2 II of the Tourism Code. You will benefit from all the rights granted by the European Union applicable to packages as transposed into the Tourism Code.
