Hi,I rented a converted farmhouse in France last year. There was an unfenced pond in the garden and an open staircase in the property with an unprotected drop of 30' from the top onto a concrete floor. One of my children,aged 5 years, fell off the staircase, at a low level, and injured her leg. Renting such accommodation would not be permitted in the USWe are thinking of returning to France next year. Does anyone know if holiday accommodation has to meet any safety standards, do they have to be registered? How can I be sure properties are safe for children?Any thoughts would be welcome

I answered this in your blog entry but will restate the web site for the Gites de France. Europeans are great believers in taking care of ones self. You need to be more vigilant there than in the US where we try to legislate public safety even in people's own backyards.

Hi http://www.totstofrance.co.uk – all properties are visited and checked for safety issues very carefully by mums who live in France.
