You are booking directly with L'Ancienne École for the exact dates and price shown above. Payment is taken securely via Stripe on the next screen; your booking is confirmed the instant that payment succeeds — this is a real, immediate booking, not a request. The tourist tax is a local government charge collected on the owner's behalf. The refundable security deposit is charged together with the rest, and returned by bank transfer after your stay once the house has been checked for damage. To change or cancel a paid booking, please contact us directly — we'll confirm the terms that apply to your situation individually.
