A holiday village is any accommodation centre, whether or not commercially run as a whole, intended to provide holiday accommodation at an all-inclusive price including, in addition to board and lodging, the use of shared facilities, sports installations and community entertainment.
Only those that meet the conditions listed in articles D. 325-2 et seq. may be designated as holiday villages.
Non-profit-making establishments of a specifically social nature, having the character of family holiday homes, remain subject to their own regulations.
