Information
Cooker
The cooker uses bottled gas.
Washing Machine and Dishwasher
Instruction booklets will be supplied with the above.
Equipment Breakdown
Guests are requested to report directly to the owner, or nominated caretaker, any defects
in the property or breakdown of equipment or appliances. The owner or caretaker will
arrange for any repair and/or replacement of equipment or appliances as soon as physically
possible.
Use of Bleach (Javel)
There is no mains sewerage here, so we have what is called a 'fosse septique' (septic
tank) to cope with all waste products. As this works by means of natural bacterial
breakdown, it is essential that NO BLEACH (in French, JAVEL), or products that contain
bleach, are used for cleaning or any other purposes as this interferes with the natural
breakdown process - thank you.
Contact Details/Emergency Equipment
In the event of an emergency, a list of local emergency numbers is displayed in the house. There is a
fire blanket under the kitchen sink and the house is also fitted with smoke alarms. A fire
extinguisher is provided for your benefit and protection.
We ask for your
fullest co-operation on the few conditions we are obliged to make and to leave the
accommodation in the same clean and tidy condition as it is found - thank you and we look
forward to welcoming you to your holiday home in the beautiful Charente Maritime.
