Credit Vouchers Demystified: How to Apply Your “Avoir” on Your Next Les Cyprès Booking

If you have an avoir and want to use it on your next Les Cyprès booking, the process is straightforward once you know where to click and what to prepare. Whether your credit voucher covers all or part of your deposit, you can apply it directly during online booking or ask the team to handle it for you by phone or email. This guide explains exactly how to use your avoir, what happens if the amount is lower or higher than the deposit, and how to avoid the most common mistakes.

Using an avoir on your next Les Cyprès booking matters because it helps you turn a previous credit into a confirmed new stay without confusion. Below, you will find the step-by-step method, payment scenarios, useful tips, and the key points to remember before finalising your reservation.

What is an avoir for a Les Cyprès booking?

An avoir is a credit voucher that can be used as a payment method for a future stay. At Les Cyprès, it can be applied:

• Online during the booking process
• By phone with the team on 02 51 55 38 98
• By email at contact@camping-lescypres85.com

Your avoir can be used to pay for all or part of your stay. It is designed to make rebooking easier, especially when you already hold a credit from a previous reservation.

Key rule to remember

Use your avoir before its expiry date. If it is not used before the end of its validity period, it is lost.

How to use your avoir online, step by step

If you prefer to book online, you can apply your avoir directly during the reservation process.

Step 1: Create your stay

Go to the booking page and build the stay that suits you. You will be asked to enter:

• Your dates of stay
• The number of participants
• Your preferred type of accommodation

You then complete the booking form with the required guest details, any additional rentals, and any optional extras.

Step 2: Choose the payment method “avoir”

When you reach the payment stage, select “avoir” as your payment method.

You will then need to provide:

• The voucher number
• The amount of the avoir

If you no longer have the voucher number, you can contact the team for help.

Step 3: Confirm the payment according to your voucher amount

This is the part that often creates questions, but the rule is simple.

If your avoir is lower than the deposit

If the amount of the avoir is lower than the required deposit, you must pay the remaining balance of the deposit using another accepted payment method.

In practice, this means:

1. Apply the avoir first
2. Check the remaining amount due
3. Complete the payment with another payment method accepted by Les Cyprès

The campsite accepts:

• Bank cheques
• Postal money orders
• ANCV holiday vouchers (paper and Connect)
• Bank transfers
• Credit card payments

Important: cheques are not accepted on site or within 30 days of arrival.

If your avoir is higher than the deposit

If the amount of the avoir is higher than the deposit, the deposit amount is readjusted so that the full gift voucher or credit amount can be used. The remaining balance of the stay is then recalculated.

This means your avoir is not limited to the original deposit amount. It can be used more fully, and your final payment schedule will be adjusted accordingly.

Quick answer: Can you use an avoir for only part of a booking?

Yes. Your avoir can be used as payment for all or part of your stay.

If it does not cover the full deposit, simply complete the outstanding amount with another accepted payment method.

Booking by phone or email: a simple alternative

Not everyone wants to handle voucher details online. If you would rather book with assistance, Les Cyprès also lets you use your avoir through direct contact.

Book by phone

Call 02 51 55 38 98 and ask the team to apply your avoir to your reservation.

Book by email

Write to contact@camping-lescypres85.com and request that your voucher be applied to your new booking.

This option can be especially useful if:

• You cannot find your voucher number
• You want help checking how much remains to be paid
• You want support finalising your reservation correctly

How the deposit works when you book in advance

If you make your reservation more than 30 days before arrival, the deposit requested is:

• 30% of the total stay
• Plus the dossier fee: €10 in low season or €25 in high season
• Plus any optional cancellation insurance premium

The balance is due no later than 30 days before arrival.

The cancellation insurance premium is 5 % montant total du séjour avec un minimum de 20 €.

This is helpful to understand before applying your avoir, because your voucher may cover only part of what is due at booking if the total includes the deposit, dossier fee, and optional insurance.

Gift voucher and avoir: what is the difference during booking?

Les Cyprès provides guidance for both gift vouchers and credit vouchers.

A gift voucher can be used:

• As payment for all or part of your stay
• In one single use
• Together with current offers

The booking logic is similar:

• If the deposit is higher than the gift voucher, you pay the difference by card
• If the deposit is lower than the gift voucher, the deposit is adjusted and the balance is recalculated

An avoir follows the same practical principle during payment selection, with the added reminder that it must be used before its expiry date.

Common questions about using an avoir

Can I enter my avoir directly on the website?

Yes. During online booking, choose the payment method “avoir” and enter the voucher number and amount.

What if my avoir does not cover the full deposit?

You can pay the remaining amount with another accepted payment method.

What if my avoir is worth more than the deposit?

The deposit is adjusted so the full voucher amount can be used, and the balance of your stay is recalculated.

Can I get help with the booking?

Yes. You can book by phone at 02 51 55 38 98 or by email at contact@camping-lescypres85.com.

What happens if I wait too long?

If you do not use your avoir before the end of its validity period, it is lost.

Practical tips before applying your avoir

A few simple checks can save time and avoid payment issues.

1. Keep your voucher details ready

Before starting your booking, make sure you have:

• Your voucher number
• The amount available
• Your preferred stay dates
• Your chosen accommodation type

2. Review the total due at booking

If your stay is booked more than 30 days before arrival, remember that the amount due may include:

• The 30% deposit
• The dossier fee
• Optional cancellation insurance

That helps you estimate whether your avoir will fully cover the amount due or whether you will need to top it up.

3. Check your payment backup option

If your avoir is lower than the amount due, be ready to complete the payment with another accepted method.

4. Do not wait until the last minute

Because an avoir has a validity period, it is wise to apply it as soon as you know your travel dates.

5. Ask for help if something is unclear

If you cannot find your voucher number or want assistance with the payment setup, contact the team directly.

A simple checklist for a smooth Les Cyprès booking with an avoir

Use this checklist before you confirm your reservation:

• Choose your dates of stay
• Select the number of participants
• Pick your accommodation type
• Complete the booking form
• Select “avoir” as the payment method

Why this process is worth understanding

A clear booking process reduces hesitation and helps you confirm your holiday faster. When you understand how the avoir on your next Les Cyprès booking works, you can move directly from credit voucher to confirmed stay without unnecessary back-and-forth.

It also helps you plan your budget more accurately. You will know in advance whether your voucher covers the deposit, whether another payment method is needed, and how the remaining balance will be recalculated.

If you are also planning the practical side of your stay, it can be useful to look at related topics such as accepted payment methods, deposit rules, and cancellation conditions before you finalise your booking.

Conclusion: Use your avoir with confidence

Applying an avoir on your next Les Cyprès booking is simple once you know the flow: create your stay, choose “avoir” at payment, enter the voucher details, and complete any remaining amount if necessary. If your credit is larger than the deposit, the system readjusts the payment and recalculates the balance. If you prefer personal assistance, you can also book by phone or email.

The most important point is simple: use your avoir before it expires.
