The taxe de séjour (tourist tax) is a financial contribution levied by communes or public establishments for inter-communal cooperation (EPCI) on tourists and visitors staying in paying accommodation, such as hotels, campsites, gîtes and furnished tourist accommodation. This tax is generally calculated per person per night, and its amount varies according to the category of accommodation and the decision of the local authority.
The tourist tax is used to finance actions and projects aimed at developing and promoting local tourism. The funds collected can be allocated to various initiatives, such as improving tourist infrastructures, organizing cultural and sporting events, promoting the destination, or preserving the natural and cultural heritage. By contributing to the taxe de séjour, tourists contribute to the sustainable development and appeal of the destination they visit.
