Arrival Times
We expect you between 5:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m., but you’re welcome to drop off your bags and enjoy the park starting at 3:00 p.m.
- Unfortunately, we can’t let you check in any earlier because there are always two uncertainties: whether there will be guests in the morning and the condition of the cottage when they leave.
- A late arrival is possible; please let us know so we can make arrangements to welcome you.
- P.S.: If you run into any unexpected delays on the way, please let us know :)
How do I get to Montintin?
Montintin is located in the heart of the Fayat Forest; it can be reached via Château-Chervix or Magnac-Bourg.
GPS apps (including Waze) still have the address of the old entrance saved in their memory, which is now in the middle of our neighbor’s fir forest! 🌲🌲
That’s why we invite you to follow one of the two methods below to reach the entrance to our path:
2 options using your GPS:
- Enter “Château-Chervix” into your GPS, and once you arrive in the village, click this link Maps (selecting the route via the D70 and Les Barrières de Briand).
When you reach the red gate, take the path lined with stone walls on the left.
- Head straight for this Google Maps location to arrive in front of the red gate
"Paper map" option:
- Exit the A20 at Magnac-Bourg (Exit 41)
- Drive to Château-Chervix
- Take the D70 to the pond with the children’s playground.
- 600 meters past the pond, turn left onto the Landes municipal road
- Continue straight ahead
- At the red gate, turn left onto the path lined with stone walls.
In conclusion: Montintin is worth the effort! And Montintin will reward you handsomely :)
What supplies will I find at the vacation rental (and what should I bring with me)?
Please remember to bring your own condiments, ground tea and coffee (Dolce Gusto capsules for Marie-Antoinette only; Nespresso-style capsules for La Maison des Bois), additional trash bags, sponges, paper towels, laundry detergent, charcoal, and fire starters for barbecues (Marie-Antoinette and Pommeraie only).
You may find dishwasher tablets, coffee, and other items—these are leftovers from previous guests that we invite you to use.
Bedding
The rooms will be made up for your arrival with sheets and pillows.
We can change the sheets during your stay (€20 per bed to be made up).
Bath towels
That’s why we don’t provide them: please remember to bring your own.
Children's Equipment
Please be sure to request them as soon as possible, as they are shared among the various cottages on the property.

Pool Hours & Practical Information
It is shared among these three cottages, and we have provided foutas in your cottages for you to enjoy.
The pool is unsupervised, and we ask that you re-arm the alarm when you leave to protect the children of other guests.
Finally, for hygiene reasons, please do not bring any food into the pool area.
The Ponds

They are not fenced off, so please keep a close eye on your children.
Recycling
Waste sorting is mandatory in Château-Chervix, and unsorted trash may not be picked up or could even result in a fine in cases of noncompliance.
We appreciate your cooperation in sorting your trash. You can then drop it off at the recycling station of your choice. Thank you!
Heating
The cottage is heated before your arrival so that you’ll arrive to a cozy home.
Marie-Antoinette & La Pommeraie
Firewood for the stove is provided, and an electricity allowance covering lighting and appliances is included (20 kWh/day).Electric heating is at your expense, based on your usage (estimated at 60–70€ in the middle of winter). Payment is due by check or cash: we’ll read the electricity meter together upon your arrival and departure.
La Maison du Potager and La Maison des Bois
Heating is provided by heating oil, and we have estimated consumption at 15€/day at the Potager and 20€/day at the Maison des Bois. This amount is to be paid by check or cash upon your departure.
The Stables
These are only available for rent in the summer—it’s lovely there!
The Internet & the Telephone Network
We're in a "white zone ": cell service is spotty, although Orange is performing better than the others.
We invite you to take this opportunity to put your phones aside and enjoy a break from the digital world!
You’ll be surprised at how much you’ll want to do it again :)
Of course, you’ll find Wi-Fi at the front desk, and routers are available in Marie-Antoinette, the Maison du Potager, the Appartement de la Tour, and the little house in the Pommeraie.
