PREAMBLE

At Chadotel, we make the success of your holiday our personal concern. These General Terms and Conditions of Sale (the “Terms and Conditions”) set out the rules governing bookings, payments, cancellations and stays at our campsites. They comply with the legislation in force, including the French Tourism Code, the French Consumer Code and the collective agreement for the outdoor accommodation industry. By booking with us, you fully accept these Terms and Conditions as well as the internal regulations of your Chadotel campsite.

Order, booking or rental: this simply refers to the purchase of your stay and our services.

Our services:

Pitches, with or without private sanitary facilities

Lodges

Mobile leisure homes

Lightweight leisure dwellings

Villas and holiday cottages

Maximum sleeping capacity: each accommodation unit or pitch has a maximum permitted number of occupants.

For accommodation units, this number is indicated when booking online or can be checked in the description available at reception.

For bare pitches, the maximum is 6 people, including babies.

ARTICLE 1 – SCOPE OF APPLICATION

These Terms and Conditions apply, without restriction or reservation, to any booking of accommodation or a bare pitch at any campsite operated by SAS CHADOTEL, 54 Rue Georges Clemenceau, 85520 Jard-sur-Mer, France, registered with the La Roche-sur-Yon Trade and Companies Register under SIREN No. 38833452600083.

They apply to both private and business customers booking:

on our website: chadotel.com;

by telephone;

by post;

by email.

The main characteristics of our services (accommodation, pitches and facilities) are presented:

directly on our website; or

if you book by another method, in a written medium (paper or electronic).

Customers must therefore read this information before confirming their booking. Choosing and purchasing a stay is their responsibility.

These Terms and Conditions replace all other terms applicable at Chadotel, particularly those relating to other sales channels. They are available at any time on our website, and the version in force at the time of booking shall apply.

Unless proven otherwise, the data recorded in our computer system constitutes evidence of all transactions concluded with the Customer.

Personal data protection

In accordance with the French Data Protection Act (“Informatique et Libertés”) and the European General Data Protection Regulation, the Customer may at any time exercise their rights of access, rectification or objection (where processing is not necessary for the performance of the contract).

To do so, the Customer must write, providing proof of identity, to:

CHADOTEL, 54 Rue Georges Clemenceau, 85520 Jard-sur-Mer, France.

Acceptance of the Terms and Conditions

By booking a stay with us, the Customer declares that they have read and accepted these Terms and Conditions:

by ticking the box provided when booking online; or

by any other appropriate means for all other booking methods.

ARTICLE 2 – BOOKINGS

Booking your stay with Chadotel is simple. You select, online or using the documents provided by Chadotel:

your chosen campsite;

the available dates;

the type of stay;

the options you want, and then confirm your order.

You are responsible for checking that all the information in your order is correct and must notify Chadotel within 24 hours if you find an error.

The booking becomes final only once Chadotel has sent written confirmation (by email or post). Any order confirmed on www.chadotel.com therefore constitutes a distance contract between you and Chadotel.

Please note:

Minimum stay:

  - Low season (outside school holidays): at least 2 nights.

  - Public-holiday weekends and major events: at least 3 to 4 nights.

  - High season (school holidays): rentals require a minimum stay of 7 nights, with arrivals on Saturday, Sunday or Wednesday depending on the campsite.

Bookings are made in the named Customer’s name and may not be transferred under any circumstances.

The Reservations Department can be reached on +33 (0)2 51 33 05 05 or at info@chadotel.com.

Legal capacity

By accepting these Terms and Conditions and confirming their booking, the Customer declares that they have the legal capacity required to enter into a contract. If they do not, authorisation from a guardian or legal representative is required.

Individual and group bookings

The accommodation and pitches offered online are intended exclusively for individual customers. For group bookings, please contact our Reservations Department directly by email or through the “Contact” section of the website. Chadotel reserves the right to accept or refuse the request after reviewing it.

Participants

Every participant counts, regardless of age.

One baby = one child = one adult = one participant.

Bare pitches

When booking a bare pitch, the Customer must provide the exact dimensions of their vehicle (caravan, motorhome or trailer). Any error may make it impossible to use the pitch, and the consequences will remain the Customer’s responsibility.

ARTICLE 3 – PRICES

Chadotel stays are offered at the prices in force when the booking is made, as shown:

on our website, chadotel.com; or

in any Chadotel information or communication material.

Our prices are stated in euros, excluding and including taxes.

Discounts and special offers

Our prices take account of any special offers or discounts advertised on our website or in our communication materials.

Price validity

Prices are fixed and may not be revised during their validity period (as stated on the website, in a confirmation email or in a written offer sent to the Customer).

Once this period has expired, the offer is no longer valid and Chadotel is no longer bound by the prices quoted.

Administrative and handling fees

Displayed prices do not include processing and administration fees, which are added to the price of the stay.

These fees are specified on our website or in the information sent before booking. They are calculated and added to the total amount when the order is placed.

Amount payable

The amount payable by the Customer is therefore the total booking price, including fees. Chadotel will issue an invoice and provide it to the Customer at the end of the stay.

3.1. Tourist tax

The tourist tax, collected on behalf of the municipality or local authority, is not included in our prices.

The amount varies depending on the destination and is calculated per person aged over 18, per day.

The rate in force during the stay applies, not the rate in force on the booking date.

It is paid at the same time as the stay and is clearly shown on the invoice.

3.2. Choice of a specific pitch or location

Selecting a specific pitch is subject to availability and incurs an additional fee of €30 for a bare pitch, or €30 in low season / €50 in high season for a rental accommodation unit.

The applicable period is determined by the first day of the stay:

High season: 3 July 2027 to 29 August 2027 inclusive.

Low season: outside this period.

6.1. Amendments

Any request to amend a booking must be made in writing and is subject to Chadotel’s approval and availability.

Amendments may concern the dates, accommodation or number of people. Any increase in the price of the stay must be paid by the Customer.

Any reduction in the length of stay is considered a partial cancellation and is subject to the conditions set out in Article 6.3.

If the dates are changed, the prices and commercial terms in force on the date of the amendment will apply. An expired one-off promotional offer cannot be retained. A new booking contract will then be issued.

6.2. Interruption of the stay

Early departure does not entitle the Customer to a refund.

6.3. Cancellation

Any cancellation must be notified in writing to the Reservations Department at info@chadotel.com.

6.3.1. Without cancellation insurance

Chadotel will not issue any refund, except for bookings made under the Flex Rate, in accordance with Article 6.4.

6.3.2. With cancellation and stay-interruption insurance

This insurance must be purchased when the initial booking is made, through our partner Gritchen Affinity – “Campez Couvert”.

The Customer must refer to the insurer’s general terms and conditions and confirms that they have read the insurance terms at the time of purchase.

The claim must be reported within 10 working days of the event (within 2 working days in the event of theft).

In the event of cancellation, two options are available:

With supporting documents: reimbursement of 100% of the amount paid, excluding booking fees, the insurance premium and subject to the insurer’s other terms and conditions.

Without supporting documents: reimbursement of 70% of the amount paid, excluding booking fees and the insurance premium.

If the stay is interrupted, the unused portion will be calculated pro rata temporis based on the booked stay.

6.4. Cancellation under the Flex Rate

The Flex Rate is a specific pricing option available exclusively for bookings made on chadotel.com. This rate is higher than the standard rate and allows the Customer to benefit from the amendment and cancellation conditions set out in this article.

6.4.1. Changes to a booking

Any booking made under the Flex Rate may be amended without amendment fees, subject to availability at Chadotel. Changes may include the dates of the stay and/or the category of accommodation booked.

Any amendment resulting in an increase in the price of the stay requires payment of the corresponding difference. If an amendment reduces the price of the stay, the conditions applicable to the Flex Rate remain unchanged.

6.4.2. Cancellation of a booking

A Customer who has booked under the Flex Rate may cancel their booking up to 45 calendar days before the scheduled arrival date without having to give a reason.

If cancellation takes place within this period, Chadotel will refund 100% of the amounts paid for the stay, excluding:

booking or administration fees;

any cancellation-insurance premium paid.

The cancellation must be submitted in writing to Chadotel before the 45-day deadline preceding the arrival date. The date on which Chadotel receives the cancellation request shall be taken as the reference date.

6.4.3. Cancellation less than 45 days before arrival

Cancellations made less than 45 days before the scheduled arrival date are not covered by the Flex Rate cancellation conditions. The standard cancellation conditions applicable to the booking will then apply, without prejudice to any cover provided by cancellation insurance purchased by the Customer.

The Flex Rate is not insurance and must not be treated as cancellation-insurance cover. It is independent of any cancellation-insurance policy the Customer may have purchased.

6.5. No-show

If the Customer does not arrive on the scheduled arrival date and has not informed the campsite in advance:

the booked accommodation or pitch will be held for 24 hours;

after this period, the booking will automatically be considered cancelled;

Chadotel may then re-let the accommodation or pitch;

all sums already paid (deposit, balance, booking fees and insurance) will be retained by Chadotel and no refund may be claimed.

ARTICLE 8 – LIMITATION OF THE SERVICE PROVIDER’S LIABILITY

8.1. Vegetation and parking

Chadotel cannot be held liable for material damage caused by falling small branches or pine cones, particularly damage to Customers’ vehicles.

Even where trees are professionally and regularly pruned, this natural risk may remain on pitches where vehicles are parked near accommodation.

The Customer acknowledges being informed of this risk and agrees to take precautions (for example, using a protective cover).

To avoid this risk entirely, the Customer may park their vehicle:

in the car park at the entrance to the campsite; or

in designated parking spaces on the public road.

8.2. Swimming pools, pools and bathing

In accordance with the opinion of the French Council of State (Interior Section, No. 353 358 of 26 January 1993), swimming pools and bathing areas are not required to be supervised.

Swimming is therefore entirely at users’ own risk. Parents must supervise their minor children at all times. Any accident or drowning shall be the responsibility of the user and/or their parents.

Chadotel shall under no circumstances be held liable.

Only the following swimwear is permitted in swimming pools: one-piece swimsuits, bikinis, swimming briefs and swimming boxer shorts.

UV-protective T-shirts are permitted for children up to the age of 6. Above that age, a medical certificate must be provided.
