- Furnished tourist accommodation is classified from 1 to 5 stars according to standards set by decree.
- The inspection visit is carried out by an “accredited” or “approved” body.

Tourism Quality Mark
The French government has created the ” Qualité Tourisme” label to improve the quality of tourist services in France.
Since May 2024, the new “Destination d’Excellence” label has replaced the “Qualité Tourisme” label.
This new government label is designed to enhance quality across the whole range of tourist services: accommodation, catering, visitor and leisure facilities, tourist information points and transport.
It incorporates the updated expectations of the Qualité Tourisme brand in terms of quality of welcome and services. In addition, a new set of standards has been added, reinforcing requirements in terms of eco-responsibility.
The label is awarded after submission of an application and successful completion of a mystery shopper audit. As a guarantee of trust, services are regularly subject to unannounced, independent checks.
This sign of recognition means you can choose with confidence tourist establishments that offer quality services and are committed to sustainable development.
This state label is now managed by Atout France.
Accueil Vélo brand
Accueil Vélo is a national brand that guarantees a welcome, services and specific facilities adapted to the needs of cycling tourists along cycle routes in France.
