Hi That new legislation is all very well and I see that Chambres D'Hotes owners have until December 2007 to register (re-register?) with the Mairie - in conformity with the new law provisions. However the maximum number of rooms previously was 6 - having been increased earlier from 5. (Over 6 bedrooms put one into the realm of hotel which had other H&S regulations). The consequence is not particularly clear. The Tourist Office has advised that although for this year a 6 bedroom establishment is listed in Chambres D'Hotes, from next year it will have to be under 'Autres Hebergements'. That would seem to imply that an establishment with 6 bedrooms could continue to operate, although not classified as a Chambres D'Hotes (though presumably it could still be referred to as a 'B&B' in English!). It would also seem that as it will not be classified as a C D'H, re-registration with the Mairie would not be required! The term 'autres hebergements' is a catch-all, and not very marketing friendly. Particularly, the concept of a 'catered ski chalet' in winter seems not to be properly understood by the French and they seem unwilling to include such a classification on Tourist Office websites, despite the fact that it provides a significant contribution to the economy. Anyone any thoughts?
