This course can be booked with or without accommodation.  Often we don’t have enough rooms to accommodate everyone, so we’ve teamed up with an excellent local b&b a very short walk away which means that everyone who wants a room can have one.  All our rooms are single occupancy with en suite bathrooms unless you book with someone you want to share with.  You are welcome to share your room with someone who isn’t doing the course, and they are welcome to join us each day for a light breakfast.  However if they want other meals, there’s a supplement to pay at the time of booking of €250 .  There is no supplement for people doing the course.  There’s more detail on our accommodation page, but if anything isn’t clear, don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Our village, St Antonin Noble Val is a great place to spend time, especially if you’re into outdoor activities. Many of our guests extend their stay so that they can explore the region. We’re happy to do that when we have rooms available.
