Supply: group stays observed in France, Spain and Italy (CasaGiga listings and the observatory’s editorial fiches — over 1 400 stays and 148 000 reviews); prices are the rates shown on CasaGiga, per person per night at full occupancy, commission included, extras excluded; prices outside the €10–500 band (input errors) are left out of averages. Demand: booking requests received over the trailing 12 months, whatever their outcome. Zones: nightly statistics of the Top 10 programme. Recomputed every night; each monthly edition is frozen at its own URL.
