Declaring a meublé de tourisme: the number, the nights, without the scramble.
France's loi Le Meur (loi n° 2024-1039) extends the registered declaration to every meublé de tourisme, and the number it issues must appear on every listing. The DGE expects the national teleservice in the fourth quarter of 2026; until then, you follow your commune's procedure. A missing declaration is fined up to €10,000, a false one up to €20,000. The same stay records feed the taxe de séjour wherever you are the one collecting it.
The loi Le Meur extends the registered declaration, and the number shown on every listing, to every meublé. Vidimo gathers the paperwork, keeps the number to hand, and records the guests and nights of every stay. 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 your number to hand, ready for every listing.
Every stay on record
Guests and nights recorded stay by stay, for direct bookings and platform bookings alike.
Switchover tracked
The law said 20 May 2026; the DGE expects the national teleservice in the fourth quarter of 2026. We'll tell you when it opens.
Three obligations, one source of data
Renting out a meublé de tourisme in France means one declaration, one number to display, and, where it applies, the taxe de séjour to collect or pay. 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, which immediately returns an electronic receipt carrying the declaration number. The DGE expects it to open in the fourth quarter of 2026; until then, you follow your commune's procedure.
Declaration number displayed
Once you have been given a number, it must appear on all your listings. "API meublés" (décret n° 2026-197) makes the activity data intermediaries must send, declaration number included, available to the town halls that ask for it.
Taxe de séjour
Where the commune or its intercommunality has introduced it, rates are set by type and category of accommodation, taking account of the national scale. Under the per-stay regime (au réel) you collect and remit it, except on bookings a platform collects on; under the flat-rate regime you pay it on the property's capacity.
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.
Stays recorded as they happen
Each booking's guests and nights go on record as the stay happens.

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, but the national registration teleservice, run by the DGE, is not open yet: the DGE expects it in the fourth quarter of 2026. Until then your obligations are the ones your commune sets, and if it runs its own registration procedure, you keep using it. As of 28 September 2026, service-public.gouv.fr still sends hosts to their town hall. Some communes use a local teleservice called Déclaloc; that is not the national one. Once the national teleservice opens you register there, and if your commune already gave you a number, you get several months to renew it.
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, once you have been given a number: it must appear on every listing, on every platform, and the national teleservice will issue one to every meublé. Décret n° 2026-197 creates "API meublés". Where the town hall has asked for access, intermediaries send it, for each meublé let through them, its declaration number, the listing's web address, the property's address and the number of days let, and the town hall uses them to check the rules are kept.
Airbnb already collects the taxe de séjour. Is that enough?
Only for the bookings it collected the tax on. Vidimo records each stay's guests and nights, for direct bookings and platform bookings alike.
Where is my data stored?
We process your data and your guests' data under the GDPR. Vidimo's database and file storage are in the European Union. Some providers process data outside the EU, mainly for messaging, payments, push notifications and AI features; our subprocessor list names each one and where it processes data. Vidimo is your processor: we keep data only as long as the purpose and the law require, and we never resell it.
