Unless proven otherwise, the data recorded in the Provider’s IT system constitutes proof of all transactions with the Client.
Under the conditions defined by the Data Protection Act and the European Data Protection Regulation, the Client has, at any time, the right to access, rectify, and object to the processing of their personal data (if not essential for order fulfillment or stay), by writing and providing proof of identity to:

ARTICLE 3 – PRICING
The Services offered by the Provider are charged at the rates in force on the website www.grouperomanee.com or on the individual campsite websites, or on any information material of the Provider, at the time of ordering by the Client. Prices are expressed in Euros, both excluding and including VAT.
The prices reflect any discounts granted by the Provider as shown on the website www.grouperomanee.com or on the individual campsite websites or other communication channels.
These prices are firm and non-revisable during their validity period, as indicated on the website www.grouperomanee.com or on the individual campsite websites, in the email, or in the written offer sent to the Client. After this period, the offer expires and the Provider is no longer bound by the prices.
They do not include processing and administrative fees, which are charged extra, as indicated on the website www.grouperomanee.com or on the individual campsite websites or provided to the Client beforehand, and are calculated prior to placing the Order.
The amount payable by the Client corresponds to the total price of the purchase, including these fees.
An invoice is issued by the Seller and provided to the Client no later than when the balance is paid.
3.1. TOURIST TAX
The tourist tax, collected on behalf of the municipality or inter-municipal authority, is not included in the prices. The amount is determined per person and per day and varies depending on the destination. It must be paid at the time of payment for the Service and appears separately on the invoice.
ARTICLE 4 – PAYMENT TERMS
4.1. DEPOSIT
Amounts paid in advance are considered deposits. They constitute a down payment on the total amount owed by the Client.
A deposit of 25% of the total price of the ordered Services is required at the time of booking by the Client. It must be paid upon receipt of the final rental contract and returned with the signed copy. It will be deducted from the total amount of the order. It is non-refundable in the event of cancellation of the stay.
The balance must be paid in full 30 days before the arrival date (failing which the booking may be canceled).
4.2. PAYMENTS
Payments made by the Client will only be considered final after the full amount has been effectively received by the Provider.
In the event of late payment beyond the deadline specified above or after the payment date shown on the invoice, late penalties will be applied automatically and legally at a weekly rate of 10% of the total price including VAT, without the need for any formalities or prior notice.
Late payment will trigger the immediate payment of all sums due by the Client, without prejudice to any other actions the Provider may take against the Client.
4.3. NON-COMPLIANCE WITH PAYMENT CONDITIONS
Additionally, the Provider reserves the right, in case of non-compliance with the above payment terms, to suspend or cancel the provision of the ordered Services and/or suspend the performance of its obligations after formal notice has remained ineffective.
ARTICLE 5 – PROVISION OF SERVICES
5.1. ACCESS AND USE OF SERVICES
Accommodation and the corresponding pitch may be occupied from 4:00 PM on the day of arrival and must be vacated by 10:00 AM on the day of departure.
The remaining balance of the stay must be paid:
- 30 days before the arrival date (failing which the booking may be canceled);
Bare pitches may be occupied from 2:00 PM on the day of arrival and must be vacated by 12:00 PM (noon) on the day of departure. The full payment is required:
- 30 days before the arrival date (failing which the booking may be canceled) (intended for motorhomes, caravans, or tents).
Accommodations and pitches are intended for a specific number of occupants and may not be occupied by more than the specified number. Adding any additional accommodation to a pitch already equipped by the Provider is strictly prohibited.
Accommodations and pitches must be returned in the same clean condition as delivered. Otherwise, the tenant will be charged a flat-rate cleaning fee as indicated on the Provider’s website. Any damage to the accommodation or its equipment must be repaired immediately at the tenant’s expense. The end-of-stay inventory must strictly match the initial inventory.
Wearing a wristband provided by the campsite at the beginning of the stay may be mandatory to access the swimming pool and all campsite facilities. Failure to comply may result in denied access. One wristband will be issued per declared guest at the time of booking. Lending a wristband to a third party is strictly prohibited. Any lost wristband will be charged €10 (incl. VAT), payable at the end of the stay or when a new one is issued. The wristband may be “event-style,” i.e., impossible to remove without cutting it off, which the Client accepts.
It is prohibited to charge electric vehicles using the power supply of the mobile home. If the campsite is equipped with charging stations for electric vehicles, the Client may use them by paying the applicable rate. If not, the Client must charge their vehicle outside the campsite.
5.2. SECURITY DEPOSIT
For accommodation rentals, a security deposit of €200 is required on the day the keys are handed over. It will be returned on the day of departure, less any potential damage-related charges.
This deposit does not represent a limit of liability.
ARTICLE 6 – DELAY, INTERRUPTION OR CANCELLATION OF STAY BY THE CLIENT
No reduction will be granted in the case of late arrival, early departure, or a change in the number of participants (whether for part or for the whole stay).
6.1. MODIFICATION
In case of changes to dates or number of people, the Provider will make every effort to accommodate the request within availability limits and without guaranteeing success. Additional charges may apply.
Any request to shorten the stay will be treated as a partial cancellation subject to the conditions in Article 6.3.
6.2. INTERRUPTION
Early departure will not result in any refund from the Provider.
6.3. CANCELLATION
If a cancellation insurance was properly purchased and activated, the terms for cancellation and refund shall follow the insurer’s general conditions.
Note: Cancellation insurance can only be purchased during the initial booking request. The client agrees to read the proposed insurance conditions during their initial reservation.
Unless specific conditions were agreed upon at the time of booking, if no valid cancellation insurance has been taken out or properly activated, the cancellation penalties will be calculated as follows:
- Cancellation up to the 31st day before the scheduled arrival: 25% of the total stay amount will be retained by the Provider (corresponding to the deposit);
- Cancellation from the 30th to the 16th day before the scheduled arrival: 50% of the total stay amount will be retained by the Provider;
- Cancellation from the 15th day to the arrival date: 100% of the total stay amount will be retained by the Provider.
All cancellations must be submitted in writing to the manager of the accommodation site to be validly processed.
6.4. CANCELLATION DUE TO PANDEMIC
6.4.1. By way of exception to Article 6.3 CANCELLATION, if the establishment is partially or totally closed during the reserved dates (including any measure resulting in a full or partial ban on welcoming the public, and which directly affects the Client), due to a government decision and not attributable to the Provider, any amounts paid in advance will be refunded in accordance with the applicable laws or regulations governing such closures.
The Provider shall not be liable for any additional compensation beyond the refund of amounts already paid.
6.4.2. Any cancellation of the stay that is duly justified by the Client contracting COVID-19 (or another infection recognized as a pandemic) or being identified as a contact case, preventing them from participating in the stay on the planned dates, will not entitle the Client to a refund or termination compensation from the Provider. The Client must subscribe to cancellation insurance in line with Article 6.3 CANCELLATION.
6.4.3. If the Client is forced to cancel the entire stay due to government measures prohibiting travel (general or local lockdown, travel bans, border closures), even if the campsite is able to provide services, the Provider is under no obligation to issue a specific refund. Refer to Article 6.3 CANCELLATION.
6.4.4. If the Client has subscribed to specific insurance covering the risks mentioned in 6.4.2 or 6.4.3, they must handle the claims directly with the insurer.
ARTICLE 7 – CLIENT OBLIGATIONS
7.1. CIVIL LIABILITY INSURANCE
Clients staying on a pitch or in accommodation must be covered by civil liability insurance. Proof of insurance may be requested by the Provider before the start of the stay.
At least one adult (18 years or older) per reservation must be declared in the contract and be present for the entire duration of the stay. A minor is not permitted to stay alone on a pitch. Minors must have parental authorization to stay at the campsite.
7.2. PETS
Pets are accepted within the limit of one or two per accommodation (depending on the type of accomodation), under their owner’s responsibility, with the exception of exotic pets (NAC) and dangerous animals, including Category 1 and 2 dogs (as per Articles L.211-11 and L.211-12 of the French Rural Code).
Pets must always be kept on a leash within the campsite and must not be left alone in the accommodations, even temporarily.
Owners are responsible for picking up their pet’s waste and placing it in a bin.
Pets must be vaccinated, and the owner must hold an up-to-date vaccination record.
Pets are accepted upon payment of applicable fees set by the Provider and payable on-site.
7.3. CAMPSITE RULES
A set of campsite rules is displayed at the entrance of the establishment and at reception. Clients must read and adhere to them. A copy is available upon request.
Failure to comply with the campsite rules may result in termination of the accommodation contract and the immediate expulsion of the client and/or all occupants from the accommodation, without refund of any payments made.
ARTICLE 8 – PROVIDER OBLIGATIONS – WARRANTY
The Provider guarantees the Client, in accordance with legal provisions and at no extra cost, against any lack of conformity or hidden defect arising from a design or production flaw in the Services provided.
To assert their rights, the Client must notify the Provider in writing, with acknowledgment of receipt, of the existence of the defects or non-conformity within 24 hours of the provision of the Services.
The Provider will refund or rectify, or have rectified (as far as possible), any Services deemed defective as soon as possible and at the latest within two days after the defect is confirmed by the Provider.
Refunds will be issued either by bank transfer to the Client’s account or by bank check sent to the Client.
The Provider’s warranty is limited to the reimbursement of the Services actually paid for by the Client. The Provider cannot be held liable for delays or non-performance caused by an event of force majeure, as recognized by French jurisprudence.
The Services provided through the Provider’s website www.grouperomanee.com comply with the legal regulations in effect in France.
ARTICLE 9 – EXCLUSION OF PROVIDER’S LIABILITY
- Pinecones and branches
The Provider shall not be held liable for material damage caused by falling branches or pinecones, including damage to Clients’ vehicles.
Pitches located near accommodations where vehicles are parked are particularly susceptible to this risk, despite regular professional pruning of trees.
The Client acknowledges awareness of this risk and accepts it, taking appropriate precautions (e.g., using protective covers).
If the Client wishes to avoid any such inconvenience, it is their responsibility to park in the designated area at the campsite entrance or in public spaces provided for that purpose.
- Pools, basins, swimming
In accordance with the French Council of State’s opinion (Interior Section) No. 353 358 of January 26, 1993, pool supervision is not mandatory. Swimming is therefore at the user’s own risk.
Parents must strictly supervise their minor children.
Any accident or drowning occurring in the pools or basins is the sole responsibility of the user and/or the parents. Under no circumstances shall the Provider be held liable.
ARTICLE 10 – RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL
Activities related to organizing and selling stays or excursions on specific dates or for a defined period are not subject to the right of withdrawal applicable to distance and off-premises sales, in accordance with Article L221-28 of the French Consumer Code.
