In accordance with Article L211-8 of the French Tourism Code, these Terms & Conditions and the Safrans de France Quote constitute the pre-contractual information prior to the execution of the Booking Contract. The Client accepts that Safrans de France may make changes to pre-contractual information, particularly regarding price and the content of the Services. Any changes shall be communicated in writing to the Client before the Booking Contract is signed.
Article 8 — Booking Process
8.1 Consultation and Appointment
The Client may learn about the Services offered by consulting the Website, by sending an email to info@(nospam)safransdefrance.com, or by telephone at +33 1 48 78 71 51. Information may also be obtained during a meeting with one of Safrans de France's travel designers.
8.2 Quote Request and Preparation
Any request for Services will be subject to a prior personalized quote per booking file. By requesting a quote and/or a booking, the Client acknowledges having read the components of the chosen trip and these Terms & Conditions, and accepts their terms.
Safrans de France will prepare a Quote containing all pre-contractual information required under the French Tourism Code and will communicate it to the Client along with these Terms & Conditions and a draft Booking Contract.
The Quote is valid for a limited period specified therein. Conditions set out in the Quote are subject to modification before the Booking Contract is signed, provided the Client is informed in writing.
The initial Quote may be amended free of charge before final signature of the Booking Contract. From the fifth modification onward, a fee of €500 per Quote shall apply. These fees will be deducted from the total cost of the corresponding Services if a Booking Contract is signed. If the Client does not proceed with the trip, the fees will be retained by Safrans de France.
Safrans de France reserves the right to charge for the preparation of bespoke travel quotes and will inform the Client in advance. The cost of the quote will be deducted from the total trip cost if a booking is confirmed.

The Booking Contract is deemed concluded only when both of the following conditions are met:
- Signature by the Client — either electronically via a dedicated solution provided by Safrans de France, or by delivering a duly completed Booking Contract in person.
- Confirmation of availability by Safrans de France within 10 business days of signature by both parties.
If Safrans de France notifies the Client that the Services are unavailable within this period, or fails to confirm availability, the Booking Contract shall be void and the deposit paid shall be refunded to the Client, to the exclusion of any other amount.
Signing the Booking Contract definitively commits the Client, who may only cancel under the conditions set out in Article 11 below.
8.4 Booking Requirements
At the time of booking, Safrans de France will request copies of the passports of all travelers listed on the same Booking Contract in order to communicate the exact names to airlines and immigration authorities.
The Client must also inform Safrans de France in writing of any particularity that may affect the trip (reduced mobility, presence of an animal, bulky luggage, etc.). Any special requests regarding dietary requirements, room types, or other preferences must be communicated in writing during the quote phase. Safrans de France will make its best efforts to accommodate such requests but cannot guarantee a favorable response from its hotel or transport partners.
Only the Services listed in the Booking Contract and accepted by Safrans de France are guaranteed.
Article 9 — Payment Terms

For each destination, administrative border-crossing formalities and health requirements are indicated in the Quote and Booking Contract for French and EU/EEA nationals only. Clients of other nationalities are invited to contact their consular authorities.

Only minors accompanied by a person with parental authority and holding appropriate documents may travel with Safrans de France.
Article 17 — Insurance
Safrans de France does not include any insurance in the prices of the Services offered (unless otherwise specified) and recommends that the Client subscribe to an insurance and/or assistance contract at the time of booking, covering cancellation consequences and/or specific risks including repatriation in the event of accident or illness.
The Client may subscribe to insurance through Safrans de France's partner. The insurance policy will be provided to the Client, who must read it in full, including exclusion clauses and conditions, before subscribing.
Insurance premiums remain non-refundable, except in cases of cancellation by Safrans de France without fault of the Client. Claims must be filed directly with the insurance company in accordance with the terms and deadlines of the policy.

Article 18 — Transfer of Contract
In accordance with Articles L211-11 and R211-7 of the French Tourism Code, the Client may transfer the Booking Contract (excluding insurance and assistance contracts) to a third party who meets the same conditions, provided the contract has not yet taken effect.
The Client must notify Safrans de France by any means providing acknowledgment of receipt no later than 7 days before the start of Services, specifying the name and address of the transferee and demonstrating that they meet the same conditions.
The transferor and transferee are jointly liable for the balance of the price and any additional fees occasioned by the transfer. Safrans de France will inform the transferor of the actual transfer costs.
Article 19 — Claims
The Client must inform the local service provider and Safrans de France in writing, as soon as reasonably possible, of any non-conformity observed during the execution of a Service included in the Booking Contract. If Safrans de France does not remedy the non-conformity within a reasonable period set by the Client, the Client may remedy it themselves and claim reimbursement of necessary expenses.
Where a non-conformity substantially disrupts the performance of a trip and Safrans de France fails to remedy it, the Client may terminate the contract without paying cancellation fees and request, where applicable, a price reduction and/or damages under Article L211-17 of the French Tourism Code.
If the Booking Contract includes passenger transport, Safrans de France shall also provide repatriation by equivalent transport at no additional cost. Where exceptional and unavoidable circumstances prevent the Client's return as planned, Safrans de France shall bear the cost of necessary accommodation (equivalent category where possible) for up to three nights per traveler.
The Client's right to a price reduction or damages does not affect their rights under applicable EU passenger rights regulations.
Any claim must be sent to Safrans de France within 15 days of the return date, by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt, accompanied by any supporting documents. Safrans de France will acknowledge receipt and carry out the necessary verifications.
If the Client considers the response unsatisfactory within 60 days, they may resort to mediation through the Tourism and Travel Mediator (MTV) — BP 80 303, 75823 Paris Cedex 17 — www.mtv.travel.
Article 20 — Travel Documents
Travel documents and/or transport tickets are generally sent to the Client by post. Depending on the time available between ticket issuance and departure, they may be sent by other means no later than the day before departure.
Safrans de France cannot be held responsible for non-receipt of travel documents due to incorrect contact information provided by the Client. In the event of loss or theft of transport tickets, the Client must purchase new tickets at their own expense.
Article 21 — Legal Provisions
The combination of travel services offered constitutes a package within the meaning of EU Directive 2015/2302 and Article L211-2 II of the French Tourism Code. The Client benefits from all rights granted by the European Union applicable to travel packages, as transposed into the French Tourism Code.
