rules for table d'hotes?

[GrahamHew]

hello,
anyone know what the rules are on accepting non-residents at your table d'hotes? - my understanding is that as long as they make a reservation then its cool.. anyone know any different?

Normally table d'htes would be run as a sideline to having a chambres d'htes (B&B). So one would not normally be paying cotisations to the neccessary people as B&B's do not have to register (at the moment) with the Ch de Commerce.

To run table d'htes for persons, other than those actually staying at your house, would under the rules, mean you are actually a restaurant. So whether clients were booking ahead or not, you would not be allowed to take bookings for meals from anyone else than those staying at your B&B.


The rules even for doing table d'htes at your B&B are not fully clear and should be mentioned either to the local Ch de Commerce and certainly at your local tax office to find out the exact regime best suited to your B&B or Table D'htes business.

Maybe others who are also fully registered but live in a different region to us may have been told how best they had to go about it all.

Hope that helps somewwhat ?
