Short-term letting rules in France
- Tourist let: registration on the national online service is compulsory throughout France since 20 May 2026; a main residence cannot be let for more than 120 days a year (90 if the municipality so decides); in some municipalities, letting a second home requires a change-of-use authorisation. The building’s co-ownership rules may also forbid it.
- Energy performance: a new change-of-use authorisation requires a DPE between A and E; from 1 January 2034, every tourist let (other than a main residence) must be rated A to D.
- Tax (2025 income onwards): “micro-BIC” with a 30% allowance up to €15,000 of receipts for an unclassified tourist let, 50% up to €77,700 if classified; or the actual regime. Social levies come on top. The tourist tax is paid by guests and passed on to the municipality.

Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate the yield of a short-term let?
Annual income = average nightly rate × nights let (occupancy × 365). Deduct platform fees, cleaning, energy, property tax, charges, insurance and upkeep, then divide by the total cost (price, notary fees, works, furniture).
How many nights a year can I let my main residence?
At most 120 days a year, or 90 if the commune has decided so. A second home has no such limit but may need a change-of-use authorisation in some communes.
