In case of cancellation, delays, lost luggage, accident or sickness, we strongly urge you to purchase trip cancellation insurance before your departure available at Travel Insured international at 800 243-3174.  The insurance will protect you before and during your trip to Europe.We also suggest you check your Home Owner or Renter Liability Insurance to make sure you are covered while staying in a property abroad.

 

Cancellation policy Coronavirus travel restrictions:

 In the event that either France, or the renter’s principal country of residence (residence meaning the address as shown on the Booking Form and the rental contract), experiences Government imposed travel restrictions that prevent the renter from travelling to the villa for the full duration of the booked holiday, then the villa management agrees to cancel the booking and give the renter a voucher for a different period. This cancelation policy is only operable in the case of Government imposed travel restrictions and does not apply for any other reason (including, but not limited to, a member of the renter’s party contracting Covid 19 or any other illness). The renter is reminded that it is a condition of this contract that the renter takes out full travel insurance to cover personal liability under French law and is advised to take out travel cancelation cover.



How is the security deposit paid? When will it be refunded?

The security deposit is used to reimburse owners in the unlikely event furniture; a mattress or other objects become damaged. This rarely occurs.  Virtually all security deposits are fully refunded the day of your departure unless something has been damaged. If something has been damaged or in case of repair, the villa representative will account to the client for the security deposit and refund the balance due the day of the departure or within 10 days maximum after the end of the rental.

Do I need to bring a converter for my appliances?


If your appliance is not adaptable for dual voltage, you will need a converter to allow your appliance to run on European voltage. If your appliance runs on dual voltage, you will need a plug adapter to make your appliance cord fit the European outlet.

Is it difficult to drive in Europe?


Driving is not difficult, but there are some issues to consider. When choosing a rental car, we recommend renting a small car unless you are 6 or more people. Cities and villages are not van-friendly with their ancient, narrow streets. It is usually better (and less expensive) to rent two smaller cars, which also gives you the flexibility to pursue different activities at times. We suggest you pick up and return your rental car at the airport rather than a downtown location, if possible.

Do I need an International Drivers License?


France does not require an IDL at this time.

How will I find the villa?


Your final package will be sent to you a month before your trip. It will include complete directions for your arrival, including driving directions, and contact information for the owner or key holder of your villa. It will also have contact information to leave with family and friends while you are abroad. Arrivals are typically on Saturday between 3-4pm. If you find you delayed, call your host to let them know and to arrange a new rendezvous. If you are arriving on Sunday, traditionally a family day, special arrangements must be made in advance.


Can I shop and pay with my credit card?


Every business in France seems to accept credit cards as payment. It is more convenient than travelers checks or cash. Savvy travelers bring more than one major credit card, each from a different bank, because sometimes an approval for a purchase by credit card will be inexplicably denied, while a credit card from another bank is accepted for the same transaction.

You can use the local ATM for cash, "un distributeur". You will find them outside most banks and post offices. Check with your bank before you leave to see if there is an extra charge for overseas withdrawals. If you don't want to use credit, a debit card with a major credit card logo will work just as well. (Be sure to remember your PIN!)

French credit cards use a microchip. If the trade person seems to have trouble, point out the magnetic stripe and indicate that you will have to sign for the charge.  Of course it is still a good idea to have some cash in the local currency.
