More than 8 weeks
Home Up

If you are booking more than 8 weeks in advance :

  1. Please read the Booking Conditions and our Comfort Guidelines to check they're OK with you.

  2. Check availability :

    * look at our availability on this website : click here

    * then e-mail, text or ring us to check availability (we may have recently taken a booking !)

    * if you e-mail us, you will immediately receive an auto-response e-mail confirming we've received your e-mail. We then aim to reply either that evening or the following morning. Or ring us on the numbers in the auto-response e-mail for an immediate response !

  3. Then to book you simply need to do 3 things :

bullet

Firstly, e-mail or phone us to confirm you wish to book.

We will then hold the dates for you for 24 hours pending receipt of your booking deposit, followed in due course by your booking form. If we haven't received payment within 24 hours the dates will no longer be held.

Secondly, make your payment :

If you are booking more than 8 weeks in advance, a 25% non returnable booking deposit is payable at the time of booking. (See Booking Conditions regarding the possibility of transferring this to another booking if you do need to cancel if you have booked a long time in advance, but then find that when flights go on sale there is a lack of suitable flights).

For bookings for our Studios à La Rochelle , we only accept payments by credit or debit card (through the secure on-line payment services of WorldPay - a subsidiary of the Royal Bank of Scotland), in order to enable us to confirm your booking quickly and if need be at short notice.

The quickest way for you to secure your booking is therefore for you to phone us to check availability and to give us your credit or debit card details over the phone at the same time. We can then ring you back almost immediately to confirm your booking, subject only to our receiving your booking form in due course.

But if you prefer to pay on-line yourself we will send you a link by e-mail for you to make the payment yourself via WorldPay. (Further information about these payment options can be found via the "a la carte" home page )

Finally, send us a completed Booking Form :

We will send you a blank Booking Form by e-mail, or a booking form is available for printing off from this web site (Booking Form), or from us by post or fax.

Complete it and return it to us by e-mail, post or fax and your booking is confirmed !! If you return it by e-mail we will ask you sign it when you arrive.

  1. Confirmation

We will also put written confirmation in the post to you, together with a copy of the Directions / Information Booklet (including directions for getting to the studio and other practical information you may find useful such as location of banks/shops/bars/restaurants, opening times etc) and a link to enable you to download a copy of the studio's brochure if you wish to. The link also enables you to download or order a range of La Rochelle tourist brochures etc.
