Create a Gite or Airbnb In France - Complete Guide 2026

By Valérie Aston on 11 March 2026 · Viewed 18 times · Questions

I'm excited to invite you to my new course Create a Gite or Airbnb in France.

Many of you are looking at:

  • Creating a gite or retreat business.
  • Earning a top up income from your French property.

BUT, there's a big grey area as to:

  • How to find the ideal property for your project.
  • How French rules may impact what you can and can’t do.
  • Whether or not you will need a visa. And if so, which one?
  • What is the best setup to pay less taxes?

It leaves you feeling stuck and unable to make plants or take action .

Create a Gite or Airbnb in France, has been designed to take a small group of people and work on their dream gite project.

As it's more fun to be part of a group, I've added a few live sessions. So you get to chat with REAL people with a similar project.

The live classes include:

  • French taxes for professional & non-professional set ups.
  • Visas for gite and Airbnb owners.
  • Live testimonial from a gite owner + live Q&As.
  • Group follow up call for shared feedback on where you stand.

Doors to this first group session are open until the 18th of March at midnight ⏰

Join now for an exceptionally low price of two 247€.

PS: The agenda for the live classes will be shared after the 18th March, once I have the location of each member to use a suitable timescale for everyone.
