The cap on drinks establishments in Le Tampon
The French Public Health Code (article L3332-1) limits the opening of 3rd category drinks establishments to one 3rd or 4th category establishment per 450 residents. Le Tampon's indicative cap is 183 establishments, not counting tourist accommodation capacity.
Once the number of existing establishments reaches this cap, no new Licence III can be created in the town: existing licences become more sought after. Your expert checks the situation in Le Tampon when valuing your licence.

If your Licence IV is the last one in its town, transferring it to another town requires the mayor's approval. We check this as soon as we value your licence.
Is your licence still valid?
A licence that has not been operated for more than five years is cancelled (article L3333-1 of the French Public Health Code). If your premises are closed, check your deadline: you need to allow time to sign the sale and complete the transfer.
