1.2 Guests must have a permanent place of residence or stay.

1.5 Capacity : The present agreement has been drawn up for a specific number of persons. If the number of guests exceeds this number, the owner has the right to refuse additional guests. This refusal can under no circumstances be considered as a modification or a breaking of the contract on the initiative of the owner, so that in case of departure of a greater number of clients than those refused, no refund can be considered.
