How it works

• The sunshine indicator is provided by the website Météociel Montpellier (http://www.meteociel.fr/climatologie/villes.php?code=7643&mois=2&annee=2015

• The reference for the stay is from Sunday to Friday (6 days) .

• Maximum Sunshine hours are based on standard daylight times for each month: January 9.0hrs, February 10.3hrs, March 11.6hrs, April 13.2hrs, May 14.4hrs, then, September 11.6hrs, October 10.2hrs, November 8.9hrs et December 8.4hrs.

• The actual Sunshine during your stay is the sum of daily Sunshine as reported by Météociel for the duration of the stay.

• The Sun Insurance only applies for seasons 3 & 4 of the price list respectively 690€ and 990€ per week.
