Why is this important?
Connecting your holiday rental to France-Voyage allows you to:
Increase your sales opportunities with a targeted clientele who are passionate about French tourism.
Avoid booking errors: dates that are already booked on elloha are automatically blocked on France-Voyage.
Centralise your bookings: stays booked via the portal are automatically synced with your single booking calendar.
Before you begin
To make it all work, make sure you’ve already opened an account and created your listings on the France-Voyage website.
Follow the step-by-step guide
Step 1: Go to the France-Voyage channel settings
To set up synchronisation with this partner, follow these steps:
In the left-hand side menu of your elloha account, click on the Distribution tab, then Sales Channels.
Search for and enable the France-Voyage channel.
Click the Configure button to access the synchronisation options.
Step 2: Synchronise your calendar with France-Voyage
To send your availability to France-Voyage from elloha, follow these steps:
Enable the export of availability in iCalendar format by selecting the relevant services
Copy the URL links automatically generated by the platform.
Log in to your France-Voyage dashboard and add these links to the section dedicated to calendar synchronisation.
We recommend that you contact the France-Voyage team directly if necessary, via their form or by telephone (+33 9 72 57 15 18).
Step 3: Import your bookings from France-Voyage
This setup allows you to automatically synchronise your elloha calendar with your France-Voyage bookings:
Enable booking imports by selecting the relevant services.
Paste the iCalendar links provided by France-Voyage into the corresponding fields.
Save your changes.
⚠️ Please note: The fields are empty by default. You must copy the links generated by France-Voyage into them for the synchronisation to take effect.
Step 4: Understanding how synchronisation works
Once the configuration is complete, data flows between elloha and France-Voyage are automated:
From elloha to France-Voyage: your availability and unavailability periods are transmitted instantly.
From France-Voyage to elloha: bookings made on the platform are automatically added to your calendar.
💡 Tip: This synchronisation allows you to keep your schedule up to date on both platforms and prevent the risk of overbooking.
⚠️ Please note: iCalendar technology does not yet allow cancellations to be synchronised. If a guest cancels their stay on France-Voyage, you must manually cancel the booking in elloha to free up your dates immediately.
Key points
Peace of mind: Your France-Voyage calendar updates automatically as soon as a booking is made on elloha.
Time-saving: No need to switch between two websites to block off your dates.
Responsiveness: Keep an eye on cancellations to optimise your occupancy rate.
