without prejudice to recourse for reparation of damage that might be suffered, and after
having been informed by the seller by any means allowing him to obtain a confirmation of
reception:

contract specifying the modifications made is then signed by the parties; any decrease in

recourse for reparation of damage that might be suffered, obtains from the seller the
immediate reimbursement of the sums paid without penalty; in this case, the buyer
receives compensation at least equal to the penalty that he would have had to pay if the
cancellation had occurred due to him as of that date.
The provisions of this article do not in any way represent an obstacle to the concluding of
an amicable settlement leading to the acceptance, by the buyer, of a substitute journey or
holiday offered by the seller.

Article R.211-11: When, after the departure of the buyer, the seller is unable to provide a
preponderant share of the services provided for in the contract representing a significant
percentage of the price honored by the buyer, the seller must immediately take the

suffered:
-either offer services to replace the planned services, bearing any additional cost and, if the
services accepted by the buyer are of a lower quality, the seller must reimburse him for the
price difference upon his return;
-or, if he cannot offer any replacement service or if these are refused by the buyer for valid
reasons, provide to the buyer, at no additional cost, passenger tickets to guarantee his
return in conditions that can be judged to be equivalent to the place of departure or to
another place accepted by both parties.
The provisions of this article are applicable in the event of non-observance of the
obligation provided for in 13° of article R. 211-4.
