In France the equivalent of B&B is calles a "Chambres d'hôtes".
Since 2007, we have a legal definition as follows :
The "chambres d'hôtes" rental activity the bundled supply of night and breakfast. It is limited to a maximum of five rooms for a maximum capacity of fifteen people. Guests must be welcomes by the owners.
Each guest room offers access to a bathroom and a toilet. It is compliant with the regulations in the areas of hygiene, safety and sanitation. The supply of bed linens is compulsory.
We are allowed to serve evening meals to hosted guests only. It must be taked at the "family" table and only one menu is available.
If we have more than 5 rooms, we would likely be requalified as a hotel with much stricter regulations (fire, hygiene, tax, ...).
If we serve evening meal to guests not hosted for the night, we would be requalified as a restaurant with much stricter regulations (fire, hygiene, tax, ...).
How is this question managed on your side ?
