Friend of mine is spending this season in a camper van, as that means he can have his rat^H^H^H^H dog with him all the time he's not skiing. His choice....

France is usually OK with dogs in rental accommodation as long as you are planning to get your own season let and not rely on employer provided accommodation. You may have to pay a slight premium to get a place that allows pets though.

I know plenty of seasonaires who have dogs. It makes it a bit more difficult to find an apartment, but not impossible. If you're looking for a TO job you can probably forget it though.

Burgess87, If it is too difficult to take the dog with you, wouldn't it be possible to find someone to look after him for the season? Why would you even consider getting rid of him?

SCUSS IN BOOTS-Well we are planning to stay out there for the summer you see cause we have a place in les contamines to stay so it's just makin sure really. I'm not bothered cause I will just put the dog in the car and drive but my partner doesn't wanna take him just in case no one will take us with the dog!! I know the French are pretty laid bak with dogs and that but we lookin at Austria so just wondering how they are reall and what places to at!!

Burgess87, you cannot bin your dog just because you want to go to Europe for a bit. He's a dog, not a piece of consumer tat - he has feelings like other people. Tell your other half to stop being an irresponsible selfish git.
There are loads of dogs in resorts - you'll just have to put a bit more effort into sourcing accommodation. Although not necessarily all that much - friend found an apartment for her parents plus aged hound within about three weeks. Was the second place she looked at.

I believe it is now illegal to refuse to take pets in holiday accommodation in France.This brings it into line with long-term rented accommodation. Nothing to stop anyone charging you a fortune for the privilege though.

Burgess87, Fair enough. Personally I wouldn't have mentioned it as I wouldn't ever consider getting rid of my dog, no matter what. If your partner thinks that way though, you might be better advised to get rid of them instead and keep the dog. IMV there's no difference between children and dogs, in terms of taking on a lifetime responsibility for a dependant. I suspect any partner suggesting you get rid of the kids so you can do a season would be on their way out the door before finishing the sentence.

Whilst I think it's now illegal to ban dogs in holiday apartments in France when you're booking for a season you're on the borders of the law between residential and holiday lets.
Even with holiday rentals it's true that owners can't refuse dogs but all thins means is that they charge a premium which can be as much as twice the rental for the property (we' seen that already a couple of times)
BUT in answer to the OPs question you can rent properties for the season with a dog, we often find clients (and their dogs) homes just be sure that everyone knows of the requirement before hand and there's no issue.

Bobmcstuff- yeah I thought it was a bit extreme never mind!!
Marcellus- Yeah I can imagine but I take there are ppl that don't take it that far and are quite happy to have the dog. I take it you are an owner and do rentals and that!

Had my dog for 3 weeks last year. Apartment was absolutely fine with him. Just had to get up extra early for two morning walks to make sure he was not crossing his legs too much during the day!! Left him from 9:30 - 5 most days. One day was 9:30 - 10pm as I was at the hospital with a friend. A little bit more excited to see me but that was it!!
Absolutely love bounding about in the snow and making the snow as yellow as possible!

snowymum, I think hotels and Chambres d'Hote can remain pet-free, but not apartments.

Burgess87, Apologies if you thought it was extreme. It's a bit of a sore subject with me - that certain people feel dogs are expendable in some way. The rescue kennels are full of the poor recipients of such a mindset. Your OP was quite possibly just unintentionally badly phrased, but it came across that you'd rather go skiing and get rid of the dog if you couldn't find a suitable apartment. Your later posts appear not to mean quite the same thing, so I apologise if I was excessive. I do, however, stand by my assertion that I would get rid of any partner of mine who suggested it was ok to get rid of a dog to go skiing...

Schuss in boots- Fair enough but maybe the forum speaks for itself, the fact there are more helpful posts rather than critical points of view yeah you have a right to voice your opinion but don't be so extreme ppl come on here for help because its a friendly group of ppl and dnt expect a mouth full off someone, and every one else kind of got the idea of what I was trying to say. Hope that was PHRASED well enough for you to understand. Deserves a C+ at least haha.

Burgess87, Actually, I think you'll find my first reply was helpful - or at least trying to be. And you are right, it is a forum. I am as entitled to voice my opinion as you are. I don't think I was rude or abusive. But whatever...

Maybe but still more negative than positive! Well here's my opinion! I think ppl like yourself should just relax a little bit and hold back the extreme negativity and point of view behind and maybe just be positive to help!! But that's my opinion!

Burgess87, Mate... Let me lend you these...

!!!!!!!!!
You might find them useful.
I like dogs, but am not a dog owner. Hate cats FWIW...
But you are out of order being a condescending syntax-less muppet towards Bootsy, when all she has done is point out that anyone who would get rid of their dog to go on holiday has some rather odd priorities.
So don't be such an illiterate little twunt eh?
I'd suggest you jog on to numptyheads...

stoat of the dead, gosh, you're grumpy today aren't you? Yikes. And why would you 'hate' cats? What's the point? They're just animals, matey, do calm down.

What can you say. Never understood this sort of behaviour.
I seem to have got away scot free here, despite having told Burgess87, to tell his/her parner to stop being a git.  How did I manage that one?

Yeah true mate she prob was but no need to express so much like 'I would get rid of my partner if she said that' It's just an extreme point no need for it we aren't on question time are we. Have you not got a fire to start anyway.

Burgess87, I'd ditch a partner if they wanted to get rid of the kids to go skiing. I suspect if I had a dog I gave a damn about I'd do the same.
Maybe you have one of those annoying ankle-shaggering-mutts? Still seems a bit of a bizarre thing to say.

Burgess87, I think you may have just suffered from the fatal condition of misreading the intention of a post. It is often said of emails that they are very easy to misinterpret - mostly because people write emails in the same informal language that they speak, but without the added benefit of tobserving body language or hearing the speaker's tone. This forum, IMO, is even more informal than emails. We write posts quickly, in the main, trying to be helpful where advice is requested, sometimes trying to add a bit of humour (some are more effective at this than others), and occasionally we manage irony and cynicism. Sometimes we may forget that those on the receiving end, especially 'newbies', don't always manage to grab the right end of the stick.
My advice..... don't get sucked into a slanging match online.... SHs can be very loyal and you will lose.
Take the rough with the smooth, take away the positive and the helpful and if you feel like it, join in with the banter. There are some trolls around but you will soon work them out (btw, Schuss isn't one of them) and we should all just ignore them.

Misinterpretation i reckon. It doesnt help when you can't see the expression or if you know the person, but initially it just came across extreme and maybe my starting post wasn't the best, what can I say grammar and writing aren't a strong point for me haha I am blonde after all! I'm all for the banter.

Lots of people I know do seasons but their skiing doesn’t improve, I suppose they cannot afford the lessons, or perhaps that was not their intention? Just to career around for 3 months rather than 4 weeks; turning the shoulders, stemming, scissoring, straight ankles, banking, a myriad of self taught mediocrity, odd. Perhaps they need a good dog to keep them at home.
