Last update: 06/02/2026

We are very happy to welcome you to « Au Chant Des Cigalous ».

We would like to inform you of the booking conditions, the internal rules of our furnished tourist accommodation, and the swimming pool rules. Understanding and respecting them will allow everyone to have a pleasant stay.

Booking conditions – General conditions of sale

ARTICLE 1 – Object and parties to the booking policy

When booking, the Buyer (the customer) accepts this booking policy established by the Seller (the owner). The identity of the Seller is: Renaud Miousset, owner of Au Chant des Cigalous (SIREN: 952710069). The establishment is located at 776 chemin des Faïsses, 83140, Six-Fours-les-Plages. It is possible to contact the Seller on +33 6 26 82 20 68, or else: [email protected]. The identity of the Buyer is stipulated during the booking. Only the Seller provides the reception and delivery of the keys to the rented accommodation.

ARTICLE 2 – Duration of stay

The Buyer accepting these Policies shall not under any circumstances avail themselves of any right to remain in the premises beyond the duration of the stay agreed upon booking.

ARTICLE 3 – Responsibility

The Seller who offers the Buyer the ordered services is the sole guarantor of the proper performance of the obligations arising from these conditions of sale. The Seller cannot be held responsible for fortuitous events, cases of force majeure, or for any person foreign to the organization and progress of the stay.

ARTICLE 4 – Conclusion of the reservation

The reservation becomes effective as soon as the Buyer has sent the Seller the indicated deposit (paid on the website ‘auchantdescigalous.com’ or by other means after agreement of the Seller). It is therefore immediate following payment.

The rental concluded between the parties to this reservation can in no case benefit even partially third parties, natural or legal persons, except with the written agreement of the Seller.

Any infringement of this last paragraph would lead to the immediate termination of the rental at the fault of the Buyer, the rental product remaining definitively acquired by the Seller.

Cancellation by the Buyer

Any cancellation must be notified to the Seller, with acknowledgment of receipt.

Refunds in case of cancellation by the Buyer

At least 60 days before your arrival, the deposit is fully refunded.
Buyers who perform the cancellation between 30 and 60 days before the date of arrival will obtain a refund of 50% of the deposit.
If the cancellation is made less than 30 days before the date of arrival, no refund of the deposit will be possible, and the full rent will be due.

If the Buyer does not show up within 24 hours after the date of arrival indicated on the contract, the contract becomes null, and the Seller can dispose of their lodging. The deposit remains acquired by the Seller. The Seller will make available the means made available to him (in particular, the Stripe support) to recover the balance of the rental, which is due to them.

If the stay is cut short, the rental price remains acquired, without any possible refund.

Cancellation by the Seller

The Seller pays the Buyer all the sums paid in advance.

ARTICLE 5 – Modification of a substantial item

When, before the expected date of the start of the stay, the Seller is forced to make a change to one of the essential elements of the policies, the Buyer may, after having been informed by the seller, terminate their contract and obtain without penalties the immediate reimbursement of the sums paid, or accept the modification.

ARTICLE 6 – Arrival

The Buyer must show up on the day specified in the time slot mentioned on the contract; therefore, from 3:00 p.m. In case of late or deferred arrival, the Buyer must notify the Seller.

ARTICLE 7 – Payment of the balance

The balance of the rental is to be paid upon arrival at the premises, according to the means of payment available on site. The Buyer who has not paid the balance on the agreed date is considered to have canceled their stay and/or any additional services. From then on, the lodging can be re-offered for sale. No refund of the deposit will be made, since it remains acquired by the Seller. The Seller will make available the means made available to them (in particular, the Stripe support) to recover the balance of the rental, which is due to them.

ARTICLE 8 – Lodging Inspection Report

An inventory is already established upon arrival. Without a report of failures or breakage within 48 hours, it becomes the only reference in the event of a dispute concerning the inventory.

The state of cleanliness of the lodge at the arrival of the tenant must be noted. The cleaning of the premises (during and at the end of the stay) is the responsibility of the Buyer (unless the ‘end of the stay cleaning option’ has been subscribed by the Buyer). If the latter option is subscribed, the bare minimum the Buyer must do is to gather bed and/or bathroom linen for cleaning, and to empty trash cans.

The end-of-stay cleaning fee may apply to the Buyer who has chosen to carry out the cleaning themself, while the latter is insufficient. It may be invoiced to the Buyer when they leave, or within 14 days.

In addition, household linen is not provided (unless the option(s) “linen pack” and/or “towel pack” has(ve) been subscribed by the Buyer).

ARTICLE 9 – Security Deposit

Upon arrival of the Buyer, a security deposit of 300€ per check or cash is requested by the Seller.

The establishment of the exit inventory is carried out at the exit of the Buyer or in the following 14 days, depending on the availability of the Seller. The Buyer has 48 hours to report any missing defects on the housing exit inventory.

The security deposit will be refunded, minus the cost of restoring the premises to their original condition if any damage is found, within 14 days, either by mail or upon proof of delivery, at the Buyer’s discretion.

ARTICLE 10 – Use of the premises

The buyer must ensure the peaceful nature of the rental and make use of it in accordance with the destination of the premises.

ARTICLE 11 – Capacity

Each lodging has a maximum capacity of people. If the number of tenants exceeds the capacity of the home, the Seller can refuse additional people. Any modification or breach of the contract will be considered to be initiated by the Buyer. Only one parking space is also available, except for people who have taken the ‘additional car’ option.

ARTICLE 12 – Animals

The buyer cannot stay with their pet. Without prior agreement and payment of an agreed supplement with the Seller, if the Buyer does not comply with this clause, the Seller may refuse the stay. In such a case, no refund will be made.

ARTICLE 13 – Insurance

The Buyer is responsible for all damages occurring during their stay. They are required to have comprehensive home insurance that includes tenant liability coverage—commonly referred to as “vacation rental” coverage—covering the entire rented property.

For example, there is ‘Chapka Assurances’ (chapkadirect.fr) or ‘Trustiway Assurance’ (trustiway.com). This coverage protects against any damage caused by the Buyer, and may also provide reimbursement for the deposit and the interruption of the stay, in accordance with the terms of the policy. Such an insurance must be purchased online within 48 hours of making the reservation.

ARTICLE 14 – Payment of charges

Water and electricity charges are included in the rental price for normal use. In the event of abnormal use, the charges may be re-invoiced to the buyer.

ARTICLE 15 – Payment of tourist tax

The Buyer will have to pay, on arrival or online during the booking process, the municipality’s tourist tax. For information, only adults are subject to the tourist tax.

ARTICLE 16 – Disputes

Any complaint relating to the rental will be dealt with by the competent court.

ARTICLE 17 – VAT

VAT not applicable, article 293 B of the Code général des impôts (CGI).
