Safety

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
