Overnight stays in collective tourist accommodation, per INSEE. Rentals booked through platforms are outside this survey, so real volume runs higher. The three leading regions — Île-de-France, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur and Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes — hold roughly three quarters of the upper-tier hotel stock.
