The people renting the house were only there for a weekend, although they are being questioned.
The cause of death has not yet been determined, according to police. The woman's body was found "hunched in a dug-out area, her head against the ground, covered in branches and surrounded by wood stumps," France 24 reported. There will be an autopsy.
The listing was removed from Airbnb on Sunday, according to Le Parisien.
