Who says big holidays, says consequent expenses, in particular for those who leave in family. Under the effect of inflation, it is becoming more and more difficult for the French to finance their departure on vacation. However, the State has put in place several aid schemes to allow households to lighten the bill for their stay.

Aid from the VACAF system

CAF recipients are entitled to attractive aid for the financing of their holidays, like the VACAF scheme. This aid is divided into two categories: aid for AVE children’s holidays and aid for AVF family holidays. The AVE makes it possible to finance between 40 and 70% of the costs of a child’s school stay, in summer camp, for example. The percentage of financing depends on the family quotient.

It is the same for the AVF, calculated according to the annual family quotient of the household. This aid makes it possible to finance a stay with the family for a period of one week. Its percentage of financing can go up to 65%, within a maximum limit of 550 euros.

To take advantage of these devices, it is important to meet certain criteria. First of all, it is mandatory to be registered on the list of CAF and MSA recipients. In addition, beneficiaries must have several dependent children and their family quotient must not exceed the threshold of 700 euros.

The “annual leave ticket” offered by CAF

In addition to the VACAF, low-income households have the “annual leave ticket” scheme, which has existed since 1936. a “a round trip of at least 200 km”, according to the site Service-Public. This service is dedicated to the following categories:

Craftsmen Job seekers receiving unemployment benefits Orphans Employees residing in France or abroad War widows or widowers Vocational training trainees Home workers. Retired

In addition, beneficiaries of this scheme are able to register their child or spouse on the French administration website for the ticket request. However, they will all have to live under the same roof. In addition, children must be under the age of 21. An age limit that does not concern children with disabilities. Also, single people who take advantage of this ticket can register their parents, provided that they are housed under the same roof.

Holiday vouchers offered by companies to their employees

Each year, the works council distributes holiday vouchers. It is an aid intended for employees to enable them to pay for activities during their holidays. Today, this check is no longer issued in paper form, but in the form of a bank card. The amount paid is valid for a period of two years and can be used at thousands of businesses.
