How to publish your rentals on Veepee ?

Who is Veepee ?

Veepee (named vente-privee.com until January 2019) is a French retailer company that sells products through online flash sales. The site, that was created in 2001 was developed in an online environment to host sales of high quality designer brands only for members with discounted prices.

A few years ago, Veepee started emerging as great actor in the short-term rental industry on the French market.

Smily and Veepee started collaborating in 2021 to offer the best of vacational rentals to Veepee's users, and we hope to see your rentals on Veepee as soon as possible !
