What You Need to
Bring With You
Essentially, the only things you'll need to bring are comfy footware, an open mind and a sense of humour...
We supply just about everything you'll need during your stay (for a comprehensive checklist, see our 5-Day and 1 & 2-Day courses).
However, here is a list of items that you might like to bring in order to make your time here even more enjoyable:
-
Comfy shoes/trainers/sandals - there may be quite a bit of standing
-
Extra warm & wet weather gear - well, because you never know
-
Good book - for relaxing by the pool
-
Swimwear - use our private 10m x 5m x 1.8m (deep) pool
-
Sun cream - there is plenty of shade, but you can't be too careful
-
Camera (+ spare SD card) - for re-living those precious moments
-
Special/herbal teas - just in case you don't like ours
-
Antihistamines for insect bites and stings - we are in the countryside, after all
-
UK/French adapter plugs - for razors, hair-straighteners, laptops, iPods, etc
Oh, and don't forget to bring some spending money for when we go to Sarlat market Wednesday morning and, perhaps, for an extra-curricular evening meal out that evening.
