Kiraude Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 How are your bookings???I've got a place sleeping 5, in the past 4 years it's been great until last year - which I eventually filled but it took some work.This year I've only got 2 weeks spare in the high (july/aug) months, booked solid, and most of those came in before Xmas - my poor French (Parisian) rentals won't get a look in at this rate!Anyone else seeing an improvement on last year?Kira Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudyM Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 Hi Kira,Same situation for me here in Normandy (14) - I don't have one week free at our 4-6 person cottage between 3 April and end of September, and I also have 2 weeks booked for December! Most of my admin this year will be saying 'sorry, full', and suggesting other gites to rent in the area.I could have let a street - no, a town! - of cottages for June (D-Day anniversary) and Jul/Aug.No weekends off for me this summer... .... but I shouldn't complain, as it provides the 'jam' on our croissant!

giles Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 Things are getting off to a slow start in the Perigord Blanc, though this follows the pattern from last year. So far only 2 weeks booked - return business from earlier visit. Giles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frogslegs Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 Many people said last year was the worse year for bookings yet we managed 26. Saying that I do know personally of 6 gites up for sale this year! So far we have 20 weeks. We are further south than Normandy and Brittany in Poitou Charentes.Bonne Chancehttp://www.le-tilleul.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 There seems to be a distinct improvement over last year. July/August pretty well full and also people here now, and a January booking is unheard of so far as I am concerned. Property seekers of course!Not a lot of interest in the Spring yet but I don't despair. I have found with the Internet that people leave their choice later and later. My record is an enquiry on a Wednesday and they arrived on the Friday.Liz (29) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzi04 Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 This is our first year. We have 2 gites and we are almost full for the british school holidays, but have very little for May, June / September. I guess that's only to be expected. Am I allowed to ask who you advertise with, those of you who have loads of weeks bookings??Here's to a good summer everyone!Suzi www.patiras.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
