How does La Baume have five stars while La Palmeraie has three?

Both sites are on the same property. La Baume has pitches for tents, caravans and motorhomes, and La Palmeraie offers holiday rentals, but all activities and infrastructure are shared by both.

The State determines the procedures used to rate tourist hotels, outdoor hotels, tourist residences, etc., using methods defined by decree.

La Baume, an outdoor hotel (campground), and La Palmeraie, a tourist residence, were rated five and three stars respectively by the certification agency Atout France, based on the criteria established in a ratings grid developed be order of the Minister of Tourism.

To put it simply, the criteria defined for the two types of establishments are different, which is why the campground and the tourist residence have different star ratings.
