From June 30, in Beaune (Burgundy), owners who wish to rent their accommodation must report to the town hall. The municipality thus wishes to better control the tourist and real estate offer of the municipality.
The town of Beaune (Burgundy) attacks Airbnb and makes registration of rented accommodation mandatory. Charles Billard is the head of a conciergerie. He rents 15 apartments in the area. With the new regulations, it will also have to offer other accommodation for long-term rentals. “I’m divided. It will limit my catchment area, but I also understand the town hall which limits. Otherwise, we end up with a ghost town“, says Charles Billard.
1,000 inhabitants less
Beaune welcomes more than two million tourists each year, but loses inhabitants. According to the town hall, the housing is there, but many remain vacant. “Beaune today, the city center has lost 1,000 inhabitants. Quite simply because you can no longer find accommodation in Beaune“, deplores the mayor (LR)Alain Suguenot. With the new regulations, the city intends to recover a significant number of housing units and offer them for long-term rental. These rare goods are victims of real estate speculation. Registration of all short-term accommodation will be mandatory from June 30, 2023.
