If you’d like more information then please check our FAQ here or, if you can’t find the answer to your question in our FAQ, then please email us.

Travel plans

It’s helpful for us to know where you’re coming from and how you’re travelling. For example, if everyone’s arriving on the same train, then we can book a taxi for you. Or if you’re planning to come by car, maybe you could give another participant a lift.

Deposit

We require a deposit of 50€ per person to confirm a reservation. We will refund your deposit on arrival at the farm. However, if you cancel within two weeks of the start of a course and we cannot find a replacement, we reserve the right to retain your deposit to cover our costs.

Please make your cheque payable to l’Association de Permaculture du Perche and post it to: La Grande Raisandière, 72400 La Chapelle-du-Bois, France.
