Hello @Malcolm238
If you are already renting a "meublé de tourisme" through a booking platform then my interpretation is that the legal obligation of providing a rental with a DPE of F does not apply to us.
There is a distinction between a "meublé de tourisme" also known as "meublé touristique" and a "location courte durée" (LCD). All "meublé de tourisme" are a "Location de Courte Durée" but not all LCD's are a "meuble de tourisme". Different regulations apply.
If you read the link below that comes from an official government site, ( I needed to read it many times) I have understood that an existing listing classified as a "meublé de tourisme" where the owner rents out to tourists for short periods (max 3 months) is not affected by these new regulations until 2034. I see this repeated twice in the link.

Most town halls require hosts to register their property to obtain a registration number. Is this the case for you? If so, have you declared it as a "meublé de tourisme" or something else? I presume guests have to pay a tourist tax?
Things are moving VERY fast in France concerning rentals on many levels so it's important to take the latest information available. There are many different categories for renting properties in France and the new laws apply differently depending on how you rent out your property - furnished, non furnished, to tourists, if its your primary home or your secondary home.
The tax implications are also something that needs looking into as changes are afoot there also and yes you're right changes are always possible. If I find further information carved in stone I'll let you know but this link is a good start.
Best regards
