The safety of children is the priority.
This is why the pool is equipped with a pool roller shutter with a key switch in the garage. Hold the button until the pool shutter is fully open or closed. There is also a movement alarm which can be placed in the pool when the roller shutter is open, the operation of which can be discovered here.
The water purification and cleaning are carried out with fully automatic systems. These systems come into service automatically at different times of the day. You can continue swimming during cleaning cycles. If necessary, you can always use the landing net to pull floating leaves, objects or insects out of the water.
The use of the swimming pool is at the risk and peril of the tenants. In accordance with French law, a safety device is provided, namely a swimming pool alarm which is triggered as soon as the surface of the water moves. This system must always be activated. The pool alarm available must be used correctly by the tenant. The tenant is responsible for all persons without a swimming certificate. Under no circumstances can the owners be held responsible for any accidents.
The pool maintenance is carried out by an authorized person, and the tenant agrees to grant this person access to the property.
The pool and terrace lighting next to the pool can be controlled with a switch in the garage. The outside lighting should only be turned on when it's dark. Please be sure to turn off these lights before going to bed.
The switch for the pool terrace heater, set for 1 hour, can be activated in the garage.
To keep the heat out, you can either close the shutters during the day or leave them ajar. The sticker on the windows shows how to fasten both hatches with the espagnolette closure. This way there is no damage if they hit the wall when it suddenly gets windy.
Due to the weak electricity network it is not possible to charge electric cars
A gas barbecue is available. Please leave this barbecue and its grates clean on departure. Otherwise, €25 will be charged. There is a second bottle of PROPANE gas in reserve (refills are available in Utile in St Pierre de Vassols and cost +/- 34€).
In the garden, there is a programmed automatic irrigation system that operates in the early evening. Please do not touch the programming devices that operate the automatic watering system, nor the faucets, unless a serious problem occurs. The maintenance of the garden is organized by authorized person. The tenant cannot refuse access to authorized persons for the necessary maintenance of the house and the garden.
Cigarette butts are not thrown into the garden. Additional cleaning costs will be deducted from the rental deposit.
Barbecue is only allowed on the terrace, any other form of fire is prohibited.
Please close the umbrellas in your absence and put away the garden cushions.
Please do not move indoor and outdoor furniture.
Setting up mobile homes, tents, etc. on site or in the driveway is prohibited.
For security reasons, the site is equipped with camera surveillance. The tenants agree with this surveillance.
At a distance of 200 meters as the crow flies (on the country road opposite number 244 in the street, the first path on the right and 500 meters further) there are about twenty beehives and these bees sometimes come to drink at the swimming pool. During the Transhumance, at the end of May, the beehives are moved and there are clearly fewer bees in the area.
Bees and wasps only sting when they feel threatened. A bee's stinger gets stuck in the skin, the bee dies, but you must remove the stinger so that it cannot release further poison. A wasp has a smooth stinger, and can withdraw its stinger and possibly sting more often.
The Hornet (hornet or horse wasp) is not interested in sweets. It can become hostile if you approach a few meters from its nest.
Animals are not accepted.
