Each room has a balcony (for rooms situated in buildings) or a terrace (for rooms situated in bungalows) equipped with a kitchenette (with a fridge and a stove). A local -- small -- supermarket is open in the hotel grounds. Independent cooking is therefore possible. Price of a full meal (lunch or dinner) served in the hotel is 110 FF -- this is a free buffet. There is also a small snack bar where one can get simple salads (for lunch only). Small restaurants exist in Saint Francois but one should not expect to spend less than 60 FF in a restaurant. For those who want to cook, there is every day a traditional fruit and vegetable market in Saint Francois along with a reasonable size supermarket.
Accommodation is available either with twin beds or with double beds. People travelling alone and selecting double occupancy will be housed together with a colleague in a room with twin beds (participants willing to be housed together should say so before the beginning of the school). People coming with accompanying members (spouses) will be housed in a room with double beds, unless otherwise mentioned. Note that for children less than 12 years old, the accommodation is free -- provided they share the room of their parents -- and all the meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) are also free.
