We are connected to a septic tank. To prevent any problems you should avoid putting harsh chemicals and/or grease down the sink. And aside human waste, be careful to only put toilet paper down the toilet bowl. Bins are provided for any other waste.

Household waste must be sorted according to certain categories and you will find 3 bins inside Le Gîte for general rubbish, paper/packaging and for food waste.

For all recycling, you should dispose of waste in the containers 100 meters from Le Click on the relevant yellow button below the gîte, opposite the village hall. There you will find containers for Paper and Packaging, Glass and Cardboard. For Non-Recyclable rubbish (general waste), we will take care of it at the end of your stay or on request.

Paper and packaging: Plastic bottles and packaging, metal packaging, beverage cartons and all paper can be collected together in the bin in Le Gîte.

Food: We have a composting bin so ask you to collect your food waste in the specific bin and let us know when it needs emptying.

General waste (non-recyclable): This goes into a bin in a black bag (according to French rules). A maximum of 1 X 30 litre bags of general waste per person is included in the rental per week. Additional waste (per 30 litres bag) is subject to a charge of €3.

Glass and cardboard must be kept separate and disposed of in the containers opposite the village hall

You will find a reserve of bags under the sink. Click on the relevant yellow button below  for a reference sheet to help you know how to sort each item.

To ensure your safety and to keep the pool in the best condition possible, there are some general rules to follow. Please do take care to follow them:

• Do shower before using the pool
• No diving
• Keep noise down
• No peeing in pool
• Always supervise children
• No alcohol consumption, eating or smoking in or around the pool
• When wet, the grass and pool terrace can be slippery so do take care. Also, don't go barefoot in the garden!

Additional towels, beach/pool towels, and bathrobes are available upon request for an additional fee (€5 per item).

• Shower before using
• Keep the temperature between 36-38 degrees centigrade
• Do not stay in the water too long (20 minutes is the recommended time)
  
• Do not use if you have any medical issue
  
• Do not let children use alone
• No eating/drinking/smoking in the spa (water in a plastic bottle is fine)

We are trying to reduce our ecological impact and would really appreciate your help in that.

We have solar panels installed on the roof, so try to use appliances such as the washing machine, dishwasher, air-conditioning unit, whilst the sun is shining.

And please don't leave the airconditioning (or heating) units running, or lights on, whilst you are not in the room or the gite. We suggest also to keep the temerature setting at 22 degrees.
