Abstract: In this article, we analyze the determinants of the supply of short term rentals through the activity of the Airbnb platform throughout metropolitan France. Based on the partitioning of the territory into city catchment areas, we highlight significant spatial heterogeneity, with highly attractive centers and, in contrast, less sought-after secondary centers. Depending on the period of restriction, the number of listings dropped from 10.03% during the first lockdown to 34.7% with the vaccination pass, although the effects varied according to the type of area. It mainly affected central towns, followed by secondary and main towns, and, to a very limited extent, rural areas outside city catchment areas, but had no significant impact on the surrounding areas in terms of available supply. Significant differences in the number of dwelling, occupancy rates and revenue generated are also apparent, depending on the type of listing (entire home or private room) or the host type (private or professional), reflecting in particular different ways of adjusting to the health crisis, through prices or quantities offered, and by zone.JEL classification: C33, L83, R31, Z32.
