Discount for house rental

My husband and I are thinking of visiting Provence for a month next year. When renting a house in Provence for a month do owner's normally give a discount and what is percentage?

There is no "normally." Owners do whatever they like and can do. But I certainly wouldn't expect a discount just because you're renting for a month. Lots of people do that. Some owners might, but you'll just have to do your own research on individual places to find out.

some will charge one rate for 7 days, and a bit less per week for longer rental periods. But it each owner has their own policies -- usually clearly stated on their individual websites.

If you are renting in high or mid season, the likelihood of a discount for a monthly rental goes down, but as has been stated (by an owner), its up to each owner. We have encountered some in the same period who require a minimum 2 week rental. It certainly doesn't hurt to ask for a discount however--but no "normal" percentage is prevalent.

Again, as a former owner, I can say that it depends. If the owners can fill the house easily, they may not be interested in giving a discount. Check their advertising, ask - but dont expect that they will.
