FAQ s   France

I am a complete novice but want to try new interests. Will others be more advanced than me?    

    From our experience our guests are similar, open minded and ready to learn or improve on their skills. Often this leads to an evening class or course back home.

What are the other guests like?                                      

 A range of ages from 30’s to 70’s, independent travellers, friends and some couples. From UK, USA, Australia …

Will I have enough time to relax?                                   

 The morning sessions start after a leisurely breakfast and the afternoon sessions start in the late afternoon. Usually guests spend 2-3 hours relaxing by the pool after lunch.

Are all the rooms sharing?                 

  There are a couple of single rooms and the rest are really spacious twin and double rooms (can be made into triples) We do our best to match you with a similar guest. Some rooms are ensuite and others share a bathroom with one other.
