I seem to remember something strange like, GdF won't even give you a star if you don't have a pressure cooker in your gite. Or something similar? I thought that was funny, as I'd never have a pressure cooker in our rental -- yes, let's give a pot that could explode to someone we know nothing about, and better yet, let's do it every week with a different someone new!
Anyway, down with arbitrary checklists.
