New star system for French hotels

Read the full article on Charles Bremners site - Travellers in France know not to pay attention to the number of stars attached to a hotel. You can turn up at an establishment rated with three and find the plumbing broken and the bed in a state of decay. The government is finally getting around to changing a state of affairs that is odd for a country which receives more visitors than any other. Under a new tourism law, hotel ratings are to be put into the hands of outside consultants. Classifications will be reviewed at least once every five years. Under the current system, in force since 1986, once a hotel received its stars, no-one checked again to ensure that they were still deserved. That means that a three-star hotel of 1986 can still boast of its rating even if it has not had a lick of paint since.......

I saw those stars by their entrances, and did not pay attention to them. The outside consultants have their work cut out for them. More jobs?

Alfred, it is really strange how you didn't pay attention on it.
I can say that the new Star System is working really good!
Congratulations
