Classification of meublés de tourisme

The advantages of classification

Classifying your meublé de tourisme offers a number of advantages. First and foremost, it’s an excellent way of gaining visibility and promoting your accommodation in a more professional way. Classification also simplifies administrative formalities, notably the declaration of tourist tax. It also enables you to benefit from an advantageous tax regime, with a not inconsiderable tax reduction. What’s more, it is a guarantee of seriousness and quality that reassures customers and gives them confidence when booking. Last but not least, the classification opens up the possibility of accepting vacation vouchers, an additional asset for attracting a wider clientele.

The role of the Development Agency

The Agency assists owners with their procedures, carries out inspection visits and issues the official classification decision, a guarantee of quality and recognition for their accommodation.
