These terms apply to the exclusion of all other conditions, including those applicable for bookings made through other distribution channels.
The Client is informed that the Hotel may enter into partnership agreements with third-party travel service providers, enabling Clients to search, select, and book rooms in the Hotel through these partners' websites. Any booking made under such conditions implies full and unreserved consultation and acceptance by the Client of the third-party provider’s specific terms, the reserved rate conditions, and the present general terms and conditions of sale. The Client declares that they have obtained all necessary information from the Hotel as available on the Website.

These General Terms and Conditions of Sale are accessible at all times on the Hotel’s website and will prevail, if necessary, over any other version or contradictory document.
Unless proven otherwise, the data recorded in the Provider’s IT system constitutes proof of all transactions made with the Client. The entry of banking information, acceptance of these Terms and Conditions, of the reserved rate conditions or of the booking request is equivalent to a handwritten signature between the Hotel and the Client. The computerized records stored in the Hotel's systems will be kept under reasonable security conditions and considered proof of communications, orders, and payments between the parties.
The Hotel stores the contract in electronic or paper form for a maximum duration of 5 years.
The Client is informed that their IP address is recorded at the time of booking.

In accordance with the French Data Protection Act of January 6, 1978, the Client has the right to access, rectify, and oppose their personal data at any time by writing, with proof of identity, to:

ARTICLE 2 – BOOKINGS

The Client selects on the Hotel's website the services they wish to book, according to the following steps:
- Selection of room type and rate;
- Selection of any additional services;
- Review and confirmation of booking details, total price, and rate conditions;
- Entry of personal information;
- Entry of credit card details for guarantee or prepayment purposes;
- Review and acceptance of the General Terms and Conditions of Sale and the conditions of the selected rate before confirming the booking;
- Validation of the booking.

The Client acknowledges being aware of the nature, purpose, and terms of the Services offered by the Hotel and having requested and obtained necessary and sufficient information to make the booking in full knowledge. The Client is solely responsible for the choice of Services and their suitability for their needs, so the Hotel cannot be held liable in this respect.
The Client agrees to complete the required information in the booking request and certifies the truth and accuracy of the data provided.
The contractual information is presented in French and will be confirmed to the Client no later than at the time of booking validation.

For bookings made exclusively via the internet, a booking is considered complete once the Client accepts these Terms and Conditions by checking the designated box and confirms the booking. The Client has the opportunity to verify the booking details, total price, and correct any errors before confirming acceptance (Article 1127-2 of the French Civil Code). This confirmation implies acceptance of the entirety of these Terms and Conditions and constitutes proof of the sales contract.
The Client is responsible for verifying the accuracy of the booking and reporting any errors immediately.
The sale of Services is final only after the Provider sends the Client confirmation of the booking by email and receives full payment.
Any booking made on the Hotel’s website constitutes a distance contract between the Client and the Provider.

The Hotel reserves the right to cancel or refuse any booking from a Client with whom there is an ongoing payment dispute related to a previous booking.
Each booking is personal and cannot be transferred to a third party.

Cancellation / Modification of a booking with a Non-Refundable Rate:
The Client may cancel the booking without full refund. In case of force majeure, the Client may modify the booking once (subject to availability) at least 72 hours before the stay begins. No refund will be issued in case of a rate difference.

ARTICLE 3 – PRICES

The Services offered by the Provider are supplied at the current rates displayed on the Hotel's website at the time of the Client's booking. Prices are expressed in Euros, both excluding and including VAT.
Prices include any applicable discounts granted by the Provider, as specified on the Hotel's website.
These rates are firm and non-revisable during their period of validity as indicated on the Hotel's website. Outside of this period, the Provider reserves the right to change prices at any time.
Prices are shown to the Client before and during the booking process. They are indicated per room, for the selected number of persons and dates.
Rates are confirmed to the Client as gross amounts including VAT (excluding tourist tax) in the Hotel’s commercial currency. They include VAT at the rate applicable on the booking date; any change in the VAT rate will automatically be applied to the prices on the billing date. The same applies for any new taxes introduced by the competent authorities.
Prices do not include the tourist tax, which is payable directly at the Hotel.
The Client agrees to pay these taxes without dispute directly to the Hotel.
The amount requested from the Client corresponds to the total purchase price, excluding the tourist tax.
Unless stated otherwise, additional services (such as breakfast) are not included in the price.
Currency conversion is provided for informational purposes only and is non-contractual. If a rate involves payment directly at the Hotel upon arrival or departure, and the Client's currency is different from that of the Hotel, the charged price may differ due to fluctuations in the exchange rate between the booking and payment dates.
An invoice will be issued by the Provider and given to the Client upon delivery of the booked Services.

The Services provided through the Hotel’s website comply with the regulations in force in France. The Service Provider cannot be held liable for non-compliance with the legislation of the country in which the Services are provided, which the Client is solely responsible for verifying, as the Client is solely responsible for the choice of Services requested.
