Process
to book your Vacation rental in Paris (less than 3 months stay):
Once we agreed on a place and dates, and you ask us for a contract we send you :
1) You receive by email your agency contract with the details (dates, prices, calendar of payment).
The option is yours for 48 hours. Before the deadline, we should receive by fax or email, the contract signed, with the agency fees payment (Fees are included in the price and paid separately).
2) Once we received this contract with payment your Paris Apartment is booked for you.
We send you a confirmation email. Around 48 hours after, we send you the short term rental agreement signed also by the owner (you’ll sign it as well).
This contract goes with details on how to send the owner down payment (within 7 days), how to pay the balance and security deposit on arrival day and how to reach the apartment, building code, contact details of the person who welcomes you.
3) Arriving at your Paris apartment, you’ll give the balance and security deposit.
You will get the keys, do the Inventory inspection with the owner or his flat manager.
The security deposit will be returned on departure day after clearance check out.
Note that the French law allows owners to keep it a maximum of 2 months, but it’s rarely the case, unless major damages have been done. If so let your agent know asap for assistance.
Means of payment will be indicated on below.

Lengths of stay:
If your Parisian stay last more than a week, the price will be simply prorated.
(Example: your stay last 10 nights, the final price will be Price per week/7nights X 10 nights).
For shorter stays, we advise you to target places with a price per night to get the best deal. Feel free to ask your agent.
Arrival Day:
You may arrive any day of the week. Of course Sundays and French days off are always a bit more complicated to managed for flat managers and owners but let us know asap, we will do our best to accommodate you.
Arrival Time:
Most of owners will do their best to welcome you as soon as possible.
However, for practical reasons (including your apartment preparation) the default check in time is 2pm and check out is 10am.
For late arrival (after 8pm),you would need to have the owner agreement so let us know asap so we can make sure the owner can handle it and if there's no additional fees for this.
Visit:
For less than 3 months stay no visit can be set up, however we will be glad to send you larger pictures upon request. |

Unless you have a cancellation insurance, no reimbursement will be done in case of cancellation.
We strongly advise you to take an insurance covering cancelation especially if you book in advance.
Our partner's package insurance (cancellation/interruption/Third party Risks) will reimburse you for the agency fees, down payment, balance.
Of course you'll have to provide them with documentary evidence upon request.

You may be already covered thanks to your home insurance, we recommend you to ask them for a confirmation of your french's coverage for the items below.
If you do live in France, and have a home insurance you are probably already insured.
A proof may be/will be requested by the owner when you check in.
“The tenant must be insured by a well-known insurance company against risks of fire and water damage, both for his/her own tenancy risks and for the property leased, as well as for claims by neighbours, and to be proven at the first request by the owner.”
Insurance can be purchased from your preferred insurer. If you wish, Paris-be-a-part-of-it.com will put you in contact with a partner who provides the mandatory items, plus the cancellation/interruption coverage.
