With RevPAR growth by 6.6% for the month of November over last year, French hoteliers have managed to continue to improve their performance. Although all actors benefit from these good results, some enjoy a more favorable location.

Lyon this month posted one of the most significant revenue increases in France (+15.1%) with a RevPAR at €78.3 excluding tax.
