François Hollande announced it yesterday: a state of natural disaster emergency was declared yesterday. You couldn't have missed it, or worse, you might be dealing with the aftermath yourself. Airbnb has been suggesting since yesterday that your Airbnb rental could be offered to travelers whose own homes were damaged by the severe weather. Here is how we at Welkeys have handled the situation.

‍

Since yesterday, calls have been pouring in to Welkeys because some of our owners have been affected by the severe weather. In these extreme emergency cases, we have recommended that our owners let us manage the "relocation" of their guests to apartments that remain unoccupied until the affected owners can resolve their situation. With the last day of rain expected today, the entire Welkeys team remains at your and your guests' disposal to make short-term rentals as easy as possible during these wet and difficult times (check-in, check-out, cleaning, and linen management).

What are the essential requirements for your Airbnb? Complete checklist

On Airbnb, the word "mandatory" is confusing. A host who searches for "mandatory basic Airbnb equipment" finds lists that mix three very different things: what the platform recommends, what French law requires for renting a furnished property, and the new rules introduced by the Le Meur Law. As a result, many owners worry about a missing towel while overlooking a €5,000 fine. This guide clears things up and provides a clear checklist for equipping your seasonal rental in 2026.

What are the best alternatives to Airbnb in 2026? Airbnb competitors

Typing "Airbnb competitor" into a search engine in 2026 returns dozens of nearly identical rankings: Booking on one side, Abritel on the other, and a few ethical platforms as a bonus. For property owners renting out short-term, these lists fail to address the real question of the year. Since the progressive implementation of the Le Meur law and the tax crackdown, choosing a booking platform is no longer enough: the entire way you distribute your property is being reconfigured. This article reviews the serious competitors to Airbnb for owners, from major platforms to specialized networks, and then defends an idea that comparisons often avoid: in 2026, the best alternative to Airbnb is not another site, but a distribution strategy that reduces dependence on a single channel.

Vacation in Normandy: where to rent? Our 2026 town comparison

Cabourg, Deauville, Honfleur, Trouville, Mont-Saint-Michel… We help you choose your next Norman home base based on your travel style, budget, and the season. Deciding where to stay for your vacation in Normandy can quickly become a puzzle. Between chic seaside resorts, typical fishing ports, towns steeped in French history, and the bocage countryside, the region stretches over 370 miles of coastline and five departments.
