Things to Know

What to Bring

Comfortable walking shoes are a must. To get to Le Puy, which is a 20-minute walk from the Centre, you will be going uphill. The streets have cobblestones. The climb up to the Cathedral is over 100 steps and the hike up to St. Michel is 300+ steps. The Renaissance town will provide you with optimal photo opportunities, so don't forget your camera.
 

Weather

The weather is changeable during the day and throughout the week. We suggest you dress in layers and bring a raincoat or umbrella. Summers can be very hot. For more information, check the local weather at AccuWeather.
 

Internet & Cell Phone Coverage

The house is well-equipped with fairly strong Wi-Fi hot spots for Internet connections. We have a computer for your use, but it does not have a printer. There are several Internet shops in town that can provide printing services from flash drives.
 

This and That

The Super U grocery store is a five-minute walk from the Centre. It has a wide variety of products including organic food. It also has an ATM machine.

The water from all our faucets is safe to drink without filtering.

We have laundry facilities with a washer, dryer, soap, and clothesline (interior and exterior). Each floor has an iron and ironing board.

A riverwalk is located near the Centre, which makes for an enjoyable walk. We also have 3 bicycles for your use.

Electrical outlets in France usually deliver power at 220-240 volts. It is advisable to buy adapters at home rather than rely on finding them here in France.

To ensure fire safety, we request that our guests refrain from smoking and using candles or incense.

We invite our guests to help create a respectful and meditative environment by maintaining silence on the bedroom floors during the day and evening.

We do recycling and composting.

We have language translation equipment as well as a projector for flash drive presentations.

At the end of a Centre-sponsored program, we ask participants to complete an evaluation form to assist us in better serving our guests in the future.
