Booking Conditions
 Confirmation
of Booking
As soon as we receive your signed booking form and deposit
we will confirm in writing that you have reserved a place on the
tour. Please note that at this point a binding contract exists between
you and ‘Somewhere in France’ Tours. If you make a telephone booking
using your credit card, or an on-line booking using Paypal, the
contract exists from that moment.
Any outstanding balance will be shown on your confirmation document.
This balance must be paid at least 21 days before departure -
except in the case of late bookings, where the entire cost may be
paid at once.
Cancellation
If you need to cancel your booking you must
notify us immediately and confirm same in writing. Deposits are
non-refundable; but if you notify your cancellation more than four
weeks prior to departure ‘Somewhere in France’ Tours undertake to offer
a full refund of the remaining balance. Otherwise cancellation charges
will apply. Within two weeks of departure 50 per cent of the remaining
balance will be forfeited. Within one week the proportion will rise to
75 per cent. Within two days the proportion will be 100 per cent. At
‘Somewhere in France’ Tours, however, we endeavour to maintain a
friendly and amenable relationship with our clients. We are always
prepared to discuss the matter and it may be that your tour could
be conveniently rescheduled to a later date.
‘Somewhere in France’ Tours are fully insured. In the unlikely event
that we are obliged to cancel your booking, then an alternative tour or
a full refund will be offered immediately.
Alteration
of Booking
If (under any circumstances) you wish to alter your

endeavour to provide you (and your party) with a convenient
alternative. Note that an administrative charge not exceeding
