- Tours of the mountains and other excursions are charged as extras. However we have maps available and many recommendations for varied and interesting excursions in all weathers.
- We do not serve lunch and the hours the kitchen is open are limited. Drinks are available at bar prices during certain times. The consumption of alcohol purchased off the premises is restricted strictly to your room only.
- Our son is sometimes on the premises in the family quarters of our home but is usually off premises for a large part of the time. At certain times, usually in the early evening for a couple of hours therefore, care must be taken to ensure he does not see or hear sexual acts or conversation, in common with other naturist and libertine campsites/hotels. He is accustomed and used to seeing people naked. For this reason, and out of respect for workers in the nearby fields, and also beginners, we have rules about where sexual acts can take place. (bedrooms, pleasure zone & relaxation centre) However we have over 1000²ft /100m² of communal sex play area., well equipped with special chairs and mattresses, erotic art, home cinema, wine rack, music, sculptures and bathroom facilities.
- On certain Saturday nights we organize parties for ourselves and our guests whereby we invite local couples plus certain selected single men (suitably qualified!). All “invitees” agree to our rules, and their participation is restricted to communal areas and they leave as and when the party is over. There is absolutely no obligation for you to take part and they are there for our, and your entertainment. Yes, we like to have fun too!! We also have theme parties usually July/August.
- Our English and English speaking guests usually are excellent at communicating with other nationalities, with dictionaries, phrases, hands and….bodies!. Please be patient and understanding with French guests who may not have had the benefit of listening to English radio and TV or travel experience outside France and have been led to believe that French is the International language of the world/universe.
- Smoking areas are the yard, barn balconies and smoking corner in dinning hall (during inclement weather). The House, all rooms, Pleasure Zone and Relaxation Zone, Dinning table are Non-smoking areas. We do not allow people to hang their heads out of the windows of non-smoking rooms and smoke!
