Common information and facilities

Rare and exceptional: without being a group rental cottage, both cottages can be rent:

  • Either separately and stay independent and private one from another
  • Or together communicate through an external access but also an internal access and thus, in any season or weather! And up to 15 people!

While respecting the privacy and peace of everyone, benefit from 2 fully equipped and independent houses where each group will be able to spend time together, or not, at any moment of the day!

You can have your meals according to your desires and the weather, in one of our spaces for the kitchen/room, the inner yard or on the terrace facing the orchard.

We can let you be in touch with André Jacoulot, our favorite restaurateur from “Auberge des 3 Provinces” or a local caterer (possibility to rent a marquee in order to organize a family, friends or else event, possibility of a musical group).

The ground floor of each rental cottage is on one level, facilitating the access to people with reduced mobility.

Indeed, both of our rental cottages are equipped with separate toilets and a bedroom on the ground floor, besides the living room and the kitchen. However, be careful to the little step separating those two rooms.

Life in the cottages

We would be most grateful for you to read and respect the following points, that we think to be important to share:

  • If you could give a priority to ecofriendly habits by reading the ADEME user guide that is at your disposal, it would reduce your consumption and be a kind gesture to others!
  • Also, think about the neighborhood 😉 : do not disturb their relaxation time and respect their private places…
  • Thank you for respecting the work that we did these past two years in order to let you benefit from a clean environment of good quality and enable us to preserve it. If you have any tips or recommendations, we will be happy to listen to them so that we can improve your stays, in the best way we can!
  • Thank you for not smoking inside the cottages, and not throwing your cigarettes and cigarettes butts outside.
  • Remember to gather your pet’s poop and make sure that they do not deteriorate the inside and outside furniture. Do not hesitate to walk them in the village and the region! Just remember to take bags for their excrement 😉
  • Finally, please respect your bee-neighbours: do not disturb them! Thank you for them and for us! No bees, no life!

Waste and selective sorting

The civic amenity site for our village is in Prauthoy.

The gathering is on Thursday morning: remember to take your bins, bags, yellow and blue trays out on Wednesday evening 😊

Bags are provided in the town hall and the gathering alternates between even weeks (carton papers…) and uneven weeks (plastic, cans…). Household garbage are also gathered on Thursday mornings.

Our selective sorting system:

  • Blue bag: carton, paper…
  • Yellow bag: plastic, tin cans…
  • Glass containers are at your disposal in the village (in the direction of Sacquenay).

Think smart: in the rental cottage “A Ciel Ouvert”, a compost tray has been placed at the back of the garden (only for garden and food waste: grass, peelings…). The waste will be transformed into natural fertilizer for the aromatic plants at your disposal.

Functioning of the equipment of our rental cottages :

  • User guides for electrical goods are at your disposal, please read them.
  • An “Ademe” user guide is also available for a collective and individual priority to daily ecofriendly habits.
  • A information book is at your disposal for any further details about our rental cottages.
