French Tourism Code
In forceAfter the contract has been concluded, prices may only be increased if the contract expressly provides for this possibility and indicates that the traveller is entitled to a price reduction. In this case, the contract must specify how the price revision is to be calculated. Price increases are only possible if they are the direct consequence of a change in:
1° The price of passenger transport resulting from the cost of fuel or other energy sources;
2° The level of taxes or charges on travel services included in the contract, imposed by a third party not directly involved in the performance of the contract, including tourist taxes, landing taxes or embarkation and disembarkation taxes at ports and airports; or
3° Exchange rates relevant to the contract.
Regardless of its size, a price increase is only possible if the organiser or retailer notifies it to the traveller in a clear and comprehensible manner, with justification and calculation, on a durable medium, no later than twenty days before the start of the journey or holiday.
If the contract provides for the possibility of a price increase, the traveller is entitled to a price reduction corresponding to any reduction in the costs mentioned in 1°, 2° and 3°, which occurs after the conclusion of the contract and before the start of the journey or stay.
