What is a furnished tourist accommodation?
Article L. 324-1-1 of the Tourism Code, furnished tourist accommodations are furnished villas, apartments or studios, for the exclusive use of the tenant, offered for rental to passing customers who do not take up residence there and who makes a stay there characterized by a rental by the day, week or month.
They differ from other types of accommodation, in particular hotels and tourist residences, in that they are reserved for the exclusive use of the tenant, having neither reception or reception hall nor common services and equipment. They are distinguished from the guest room where the inhabitant is present during the rental, while for furnished tourist accommodation, he is not necessarily.
Seasonal or tourist rental is distinguished from residential lease according to 2 criteria:
- the tenant does not take up residence there, he resides there mainly for the holidays;
- the seasonal rental must be concluded for a maximum period of 90 consecutive days to the same person
- To qualify as furnished, the accommodation must include the following equipment:
- Furniture
- Bedding
- Stove or hot plates
- Fridge
- Cooking tools
It is obligatory to declare your furnished tourist accommodation to the town hall.

WHY AND HOW TO CLASSIFY A TOURISM FURNISHED ACCOMMODATION?
Classification and labeling are voluntary and dissociated processes:
• Classification: allows you to obtain from 1 to 5 stars and is valid for 5 years, at the end of which the rental company must make a new classification request if they wish their accommodation to continue to benefit from a classification. The classification grid contains 133 criteria divided into 3 main chapters: equipment, customer services, accessibility and sustainable development.
All types of tourist accommodation except guest rooms may be subject to a classification request. It is issued following a prior visit (paid), carried out by an accredited assessment body.
To find out everything about the classification: www.classement.atout-france.fr and Liste des organismes agréés
