  • BREAD ORDER. Please order your bread/pastries BEFORE 8pm the night before and pay when you pick up BEFORE 10:30am. The delivery is daily at 08:00
  • POOL. Yes, there are rules. Please ask if you want to swim, and we’ll erect the steps for you. Adults MUST supervise non-swimmers and young children AT ALL TIMES! Please do not stand/climb/run or jump from the pool margins. Please ensure the steps are removed AFTER your swim for safety’s sake when children are on site.
  • DEPARTURE. Campers/caravanners are asked to vacate their pitch at their earliest convenience, to allow preparation of the pitch for our next guests.
  • SHOWER BLOCK. Please leave the showers as you find them. Although we clean regularly, the mops, buckets & squeegees are there for your use too. At busy times, please try not to linger so that everyone gets to enjoy the FREE hot showers!
  • WASHING MACHINE. The washing machine is available for all guests to use, but please see Syb as there is a small charge. Please do NOT use your own powder, as we have a product that is safe to use with the fosse septique.
  • CHEMICAL & GREY WASTE DISPOSAL. Please dispose of your chemical waste carefully down the middle WC in the shower block, flushing afterwards. A watering can is available for rinsing with. Dispose of grey waste within the hedgerows (or water the plants!). Please DO NOT empty untreated solids down the WC. We run on a Fosse Septique, which will block and cause problems for all. To clear this is very expensive, and could be chargeable! See our poem in the toilet/shower block!
  • RECYCLING.Placeyour glass, plastic, tins & paper in the relevant bins. DO NOT drop glass into the bins. All other items please bag and deposit in the BLACK household refuse bin.

  • SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS. If you have any special requests/requirements, please ask. If we can help, we will.
  • PRIVACY. Please remember that although we love to help, Le Chant is also a family home, so please respect our small private area to the front of the farmhouse, (it’s the only bit we have) especially at mealtimes etc. It’s usually the only time we get to take a break!
