Declaring a meublé de tourisme: the number, the nights, without the scramble.
Under France's loi Le Meur (loi n° 2024-1039), every meublé de tourisme must be declared to the town hall through the national teleservice before it is let, and the declaration number shown on every listing. A missing or false declaration is fined up to EUR 10,000. The same stay records feed the taxe de séjour you collect for the commune.
The loi Le Meur requires a registered declaration and a number shown on every listing. Vidimo gathers the paperwork, keeps the number to hand, and maintains the register the taxe de séjour depends on. France tracking is coming: join the waitlist.
For furnished-rental hosts, property managers, and small hotels across France.

Fines avoided
Up to €10,000 for a missing declaration, €20,000 for a false number. Vidimo keeps yours visible on every listing.
Taxe de séjour register
Adults, nights, and exemptions recorded stay by stay, for direct bookings and platform bookings alike.
Switchover tracked
The law said 20 May 2026; the national teleservice is not open everywhere yet. We'll tell you when it is.
Three obligations, one source of data
Renting out a meublé de tourisme in France means one declaration, one number to display, and one register to keep. The fines almost always land on the one that was forgotten.
Declaration submitted for registration
Article L. 324-1-1 requires a declaration made in person and submitted for registration to the national teleservice. The teleservice immediately returns an electronic receipt carrying the declaration number.
Declaration number displayed
The number must appear on all your listings. "API meublés" (décret n° 2026-197) passes intermediaries' activity data to town halls, which match it against registered declarations.
Taxe de séjour
Rates are capped by the national scale and set by each commune. Where no platform collects, collection and remittance stay yours, backed by the nights register.
How it works
Three steps. You declare once, the rest follows.
Prepare your declaration
Vidimo gathers the property details and documents the teleservice asks for, so the declaration can be done in one sitting.
Keep the number to hand
Your declaration number is stored with the property, ready to be carried onto every listing and booking surface.
Let the register fill itself
Every stay feeds the nights register: adults, nights, exemptions. The taxe de séjour summary builds itself.

Frequently asked questions
What hosts have asked us most since 20 May 2026.
Can Vidimo declare my property for me?
No, and nobody can: article L. 324-1-1 requires the declaration to be made "in person". Vidimo assembles the documents and property details the teleservice asks for, keeps your declaration number alongside your listings, and warns you when a deadline approaches.
The 20 May 2026 deadline has passed. Am I in breach?
The law set 20 May 2026 as the outside date. The national teleservice, run by the DGE and widely called "Declaloc" in the trade press, is not yet open everywhere: as of 21 May 2026, service-public.gouv.fr still tells hosts to ask their town hall. In practice you declare today with your commune or its local teleservice, and move to the national one when it opens.
What is the fine if I don't declare?
Failing to file the declaration can draw an administrative fine of up to €10,000. A false declaration, or using a false number, can reach €20,000. Both figures sit in section V of article L. 324-1-1; the link to the text is at the foot of this page.
Do I have to show the number on Airbnb and Booking?
Yes. The declaration number must appear on every listing, on every platform. Décret n° 2026-197 creates "API meublés", which passes the activity data reported by intermediaries to town halls, so your listing and your declaration are matched automatically.
Airbnb already collects the taxe de séjour. Is that enough?
Automatic collection by Airbnb or Booking relieves you of neither the nights register nor the returns some communes require. Vidimo keeps the register stay by stay — adults, nights, exemptions — for direct bookings and platform bookings alike.
Where is my data stored?
Your data and your guests' data are processed inside the European Union under the GDPR. Vidimo is your processor: we keep data only as long as the purpose and the law require, and we never resell it.
