Chalet du Coin

The chalet is available on a catered or self catered basis. See below for details and prices.

 

Catered Chalet Basis - Chambres Table d'Hote (Half Board)

As is normal in a catered chalet run as a "chambres table d'hote" you will be eating with us at our dining table. Normally we only let the chalet on a whole chalet basis for a minimum of 7 nights. We may consider short breaks on a per head basis for late bookings. As your hosts we will of course be able to help you to arrange activities locally and impart our local knowledge of the area. If you wish to explore further afield, transport can be easily arranged.

Catered Chalet Prices:

Our catered prices include meals as detailed below for up to 10 adults and 4 children. The price gives sole occupancy of the chalet and is not normally reduced for smaller groups. If parties booking the chalet wish to eat with their children at dinner we can modify the dinner menu to reflect this.
