It's very quiet, with internet access and plenty of space (and boulders for rock-climbing at a 20 minutes walk). It can accommodate 8-10 people. It will make for a convivial meeting in a cosy place. This will allow for concentrating at 100% on MuPAD-Combinat during the meeting (no travel, no external disturbance). Convivial also means that we would do the cooking ourselves and share some of the bedrooms (not the beds!), which you may or not find acceptable and/or fun.

The cost of rental (800 euros) will be shared among the participants (around 50 euros / night; possibly less depending on funding)
