Is VisitFrance for you?
VisitFrance can generate plenty of enquiries which, depending on the level of interest expressed by website visitors for a particular property, and the proactivity of the owner in terms of marketing it, can convert into a useful number of firm bookings.
For best results, plenty of high quality photographs are essential, and the supporting text information should describe the property, its features, setting and other details relevant to a potential visitor in good depth.
Owners who present great content, ensure it is lively and up to date, and who make regular use of offers advertising and availability calendar always get the best results.
Many properties let 50+ per cent of their availability through VisitFrance. However, as with any advertising medium where variables such as economic climate, competition, location, property presentation and owner input come into play, we do not guarantee any specific level of response.
Our advertising rate is for distribution within the website. Free online update is available. Obviously at this price a support package is not included – though we're happy to offer informal advice within reason – and it's offered on a strictly 'as is' basis. Our most successful advertisers tend to be the ones who make constructive, ongoing use of the comprehensive features available via the update area.

It's what Your Guests want
The ability to book accommodation direct with the owner is what most of our site visitors are looking for. With hundreds of properties in all areas, VisitFrance has something for everyone, from rustic mountain gites to luxury villas.
With its crisp multi-page layout and easy online update, your VisitFrance ad looks better, and is more flexible than many small freestanding websites. It also costs less than most, and comes with the added advantage of instant exposure to a targetted audience.
Every property is different, so it is difficult to say what interest your ad will generate. Factors such as location, size, price, features [eg swimming pool, unusual property etc] -- as well as the quality of your text description and pictures -- all have an impact on response. Your active use of the update area and maintenance of accurate availability and price information will also significantly influence the response you receive.
