Rules

Welcome to the Casa des Madeleines farm!
Thank you for carefully reading the house rules. Don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions.
Restaurant and Lounge Area
Access to the restaurant is only permitted when a staff member is present. The lounge is accessible, except during opening hours and/or when customers are present.
Natural Pool
The pool is reserved for guests, so you can enjoy it when no customers are around and with the staff's permission. Please follow hygiene rules (a shower is mandatory) before swimming. To ensure everyone gets a chance to use the site, please keep your swimming sessions short.
Your Space
You are invited to use your designated areas for your free time, especially in the evenings, to respect the peace and quiet of our customers. Thank you for keeping them clean. Please bring up your trash and empty containers to the restaurant area.
Animal Areas
We invite you to help us take care of the animals. Eggs are not self-service, but we will give you some as soon as we have them.
General Rules
Please respect common courtesy rules and limit noise. Help us keep the area clean and safe (put tools back in their place). When you're finished watering, please roll up the hoses to keep the garden accessible for customers.
Meals
Lunch will be shared in the restaurant starting at 1 p.m. For breakfast and dinner, a basket will be provided so you can prepare your meals in your own kitchen area.
