France VAT %
I'd like to know the VAT rate in France on hotel rooms. Is it 19.6% or 5.5%? Or other?
Is the rate on restaurant meals 19.6%?
VAT refund:
I know that if I spend more 175€ at one location/store/place of business I could be reimbursed for the VAT eventually. Is the same reimbursement rule applicable if for example, I spend 4 nights in one hotel at a rate of 100€ per night?
Thank you,

VAT (as StephenG says) is not refunded for meals -- or for hotels, or car rentals, or petrol, or air/train/ferry tickets, or anything else you cannot physically show to the revenue officer at your departure airport, or is shipped directly out of the country by the merchant.

Thank you for answering my second question regarding the VAT refund rules, regulations and process but does someone knows the answer to my first one?:

Thank you for the reply.
BTW I found this site regarding the VAT rates in Europe:

Hi
But hotels (and b&b, campsites, etc) also attract a small nightly tax de sejour that varies by location.
