RENTAL CONDITIONS

Most of the rentals proposed are old buildings situated in the countryside, surrounded by woods and fields. Since the original building will have been restored using traditional materials and maintaining the original layout, the rooms will not always be in accordance with modern ideas on size or disposition.  Buildings will not necessarily be conform to international normes, reflecting as they do both in their architecture, furniture, local tradition and the tastes of the owners through the ages.

The access to those rentals will sometimes be through small village streets or countryroads without any asphalt.

At the date of the reservation, a rental agreement will be forwarded in duplicate.The prospective renter then must return one copy of the contract, signed, together with 40% of the contract cost (by bank transfer or crossed cheque).The balance must be paid at least 30 days before the beginning of the rental. As soon as the balance is received a rental voucher will be sent together with the necessary information to reach the rented property.
