Renting your house during the holidays in the south of France

You own a house in the south of France, in the beautiful Cote d’Azur, Aix en Provence, Avignon or Lubéron regions to name only a few, and you’re going to be away in July or August. How do you go about offering your home as a vacation rental during a few weeks?

Real estate agencies in France, especially in the South, are not really keen on taking care of this for you: too much work for too little pay in their (spoiled) view.

Luckily, I’ve found out concierge services are appearing in France, imported from the UK (and most likely the US), who offer to manage the rental for you in your absence, with a strong sense of service.

For a minimal fee (1 Euro/square meter of house size), they’ll welcome your renters, be there when they leave and have someone clean up the house.

One of these companies I happened to cross recently is Concierge and Co.

A search on Concierge Services on the web or via the Tourism Offices will yield additional results.
