To avoid nasty surprises, you have a guarantee of quality.
North to South, East to West—all over France you have a way to be
sure of what you are renting: the Clévacances quality seal.
The Clévacances quality approach was soon recognised by the French
Government’s tourist services: on 30 May 1997, Clévacances
France became one of the two national quality seals approved by the Ministry
of Tourism.
Under this approval, renewed on 12 July, 2004, the French Government
officially recognises:
the Clévacances Quality Charter, which refers
to the Ministerial decree of 28 December 1976 on the classification
of furnished holiday accommodation, as modified by the decrees of
8 January 1993 and 1 April 1997,
the mandate of the network of Clévacances professionals
to inspect and classify tourist accommodation, in close liaison with
department Prefects
The network’s technical inspectors are entitled to award a ministerial
classification, and they are also guardians of the national Clévacances
Quality Charter, which guarantees the facilities
and security of accommodation with the quality seal,
and common standards throughout France.
One of the major plus points with Clévacances France is the variety
of accommodation available:
