Dated cost examples
Six dated, itemised examples from 2027-01-19 to 2027-01-25: 6 nights and 7 days for two adults sharing one room, which is 14 person-days. Prices are as observed in October 2026, cover ground costs only, and are not multiplied out to other party sizes or trip lengths.
Dated planning illustration for two adults sharing one room, 19–25 January 2027: seven days and six nights, flights excluded. Hotel prices are public room-table observations from 2 October 2026, not checkout-reconciled quotes or held rooms. Breakfast, water, drinks, activities and marked transport lines are MTC gross estimates, not supplier quotes or free attractions. Not bookable, not a quote and not an annual or calculator default; do not scale it linearly to a different party.
Some totals carry a provisional, calculated reserve; it is shown with the subtotal before it and is not a final tax or a maximum. Provider headline states taxes/charges included, but itemized final bill and additional fees are not reconciled. Do not add duplicate VAT. DGFiP Marseille currently 4-star 2.25/5-star 3 EUR base +10%department +34%regional; conditional reserve, hotelclass/inclusion to be confirmed. Not metropolitan other commune rate or January guarantee. Lunch and dinner use Frangine Marseille as dated named-menu price benchmarks, distinct from itinerary recommendations, counted once. They are not a promise of daily opening, availability or a reservation, and not a seven-day dining plan. Menu charges: Displayed consumer menu used once; tax/service not itemized. Confirm any extras; unknown not zero. Every total shows its reserve and the subtotal before it. Each example is headed by its hotel's name; the order follows room price, not quality.
