Lay My Hat

Hi,
Thanks for those suggestions. Am off to take a look now

Hi, I know alot of places are booked up but just thought I would ask... I'm looking for ski-ing accommodation in Andorra or France from 30 th dec until 5 th jan for 4 adults and 2 kids. We would like to be close to the slopes and somewhere not too quiet in the evenings. We will consider self caterin...

Hi, I ended up deciding against doing it but speaking to someone the other day who has just done it, yes there is an exam at the end... They said you need to be pretty good at french too.
Im sorry I dont have any more information but hopefully someone else maybe able to help

Just a little update.... I went down to see the Gendarme today and the reason he had called was because he wanted to see my certificate from the training course that you have to do to get a Cat 2 license. I told him that I hadnt done it yet but also that I wasnt serving alcohol at the moment. I told...

Thanks for the info. I am not sure what the form I have been issued with is then as it has been stamped and signed ?? Dont think I will bother if I have to do the course. We don't really have that many people asking about meals to warrant paying out 600 euros just yet (and also my french is not good...

Hi, Has anyone recently completed the process of applying for a cat 2 license for serving wine etc with evening meals. I recently did my application at the Mairie and a few days later received the form back signed and stamped by the Mairie. Is this the license or do I need to wait for something else...

We currently benefit from the 71% reduction, even before getting registered. With regards to the taxe de sejour, we have alot of overnight stays so people are only asked to pay 20 cents each per night at the moment. In our area for a 3 star it is 60 cents per person. It seems that there are not huge...

Thanks for your advice. Food for thought....
Petitbois - is the star rating that is done by the tourist board the same as the guidelines by the GDF ? The lady who came had a criteria form so maybe I can email her to see if she can provide me a with a copy.
Thanks

Hi, We had a visit from the tourist board yesterday as we had requested to advertise with them. They did a really detailed inspection and at the end suggested that we go for a star rating and indicated that we would get 3 or 4 stars if we did. What are your thoughts on whether it is worth pursuing t...

http://www.frenchentree.com/france-holiday-directory/home.asp?status=new - this is where people can search for accommodation and just under that is a place to add your listing but not sure it says you also have to do on the appropriate region page too. You are quite right Dotty that the site is not ...

Hi, I have been considering some of the paid listings to advertise our new chambre d'hôte in the Charente with and notice that french entree come up quite often on some of the popular searches. Before I sign up.... Does anyone use them to advertise and do they generate enquiries ? also can anyone re...

Hi,
I am just in the process of researching prices etc for websites to advertise our chambre d'hôte in the Charente with.
Before I choose I was just wondering if anyone can recommend sites which have worked for them and generate enquiries.
Many Thanks

You should look around as hosting can be relativity cheap My hosting company does one year for around 120€ if you purchase a longer period this comes down. I have more than enough web space (traffic and storage) plus email accounts included. Maybe you can find something smaller and more to your nee...

Thanks everyone....

Think I will do as you suggest and take a moment to digest all of the information, choose which option I want to follow and then look at the hosting that matches my requirements.
I shall no doubt ne back with some more specific questions soon.
