Hello Canadiangal, as far as I know the regime is just something that you select on the tax form. I select MicroBIC as I only have small earnings. I don't think you have to register in any way to use your chosen regime. I, too, am non-resident. If anyone disagrees, perhaps they could join in the deb...

I have a house and a gite a bit further North than you, but I only do weekly lets (sometimes shorter or longer) so, like Dusty, have no knowledge of the specifics of chambres d'hotes, except that I sometimes stay in them. Do ask any questions though. I am sure that a lot of the paperwork and dealing...

Hello Emma, your project sounds interesting. I would say just 2 things, as I still live in the UK so do not have the experience that others have on here. 1. I would start learning French now; don't just be willing to learn. 2. It would help if you had a particular property in mind. I suggest that yo...

Another vote for Euronics. Euronics is the name of the buying group so the individual shops have their own names. Their prices are as good as the discount warehouses and they will deliver and take away the old item and all the packaging and even fit the item if the power/water supply is already in p...

Fabulous photos - all so light and bright. I agree with e-richard though that when I am looking at a potential holiday rental I first need to check what is important e.g. perhaps wifi, private parking, where are the beds, or whatever else matters, and I do not want a scrolling set of pictures at tha...

As far as I have worked out, / shows people who have hit your home page from elsewhere, and /welcome (in your case and mine too) shows people who have gone back to your home page from within your site. There is generally no need to go back to a home page, as the navigation bars are usually the same ...

I am sure you have to fill in the form - as Dotty says, there is not much to it, just your name and address, and the address you are renting, and which months, if it is not year round, oh and how many you can sleep. The form became a requirement a few years ago, and fortunately I was alerted to it o...

My wife has reminded me that the 10 day booking was from ABB, and I am sure that I could have adjusted the quote before accepting the booking. Anyway, back to HFD, and the original question and one posed later. We too have said 'Goodbye' to OD and have gone with HFD, ABB, and FC this year. We didn't...

We had a couple book through HFD (Quickbook) this Summer. As has been said already, HFD send you ALL the details, and you deal with the booking as you like, in our case using PIMS. The guests pay you directly, including deposit/final payment/damage deposit, so just like a conventional listing site, ...

I shall follow this thread with interest, as I have just received an e-mail telling me that my tax statement is ready, and it too includes the social charge for the first time. I frequently get a statement stating that there is no tax to pay (I have quite a small holiday rental income) and I had ass...

I used to be with FC - it was the only place you needed to advertise on for French properties many years ago. Then enquiries dropped off and, like Enaid, I moved to OD. OD were good for a while, but then became silly, so I moved back to FC nearly a year ago. 2 enquiries but no bookings so far. I too...

I was pleased to see a website finished with Serif Webplus X8, as I was just getting to the end of my new website using Webplus X8, when I realised that it would never be reactive, as Kev has already said. There is an option of a PC and a mobile version using the same template, but I don't know how ...

We will be very interested to hear how you get on, Libellule, as our situation matches the first three sentences of your original post and we are just a bit further inland from you, but in a different communauté. We pay the TdH and TF, like you. It will be good to be prepared if anything needs to ch...
