While October is coming to an end, the low season is starting for many Chambres d’hotes. Contrary to hotels the Chambres d’hotes don’t have frequent tourist customers. The Chambres d’hotes are exclusively occupied in vacation periods mainly by travelling families. So, if you’re not located in the mountains or if you’re not in a zone that could potentially benefit from the winter season you might end up with little to no customers.

Nonetheless, this period shouldn’t be viewed as a dead season where your productivity declines. It should be the opposite!
