Train
Book a train ticket to Argenton sur Creuse station from where we offer a pick-up service to the location. Arrival at 3:42 pm is 25 € p.p. / 30-minute ride, for other arrival times we charge 10 € more. A regular taxi to Le Moulin costs about € 50.
Second option if you cannot find a good connection to Argenton sur Creuse , then look for Eguzon Chantome, where we can pick you up for 20 € p.p./ 20 minutes drive.
You must book your train ticket in advance! You can do this via www.bahn.com or www.sncf.com/en
As a rule, the earlier you book, the cheaper your ticket. But sometimes you are lucky enough to get a cheap last-minute. The prices vary widely, depending on when you book. From Paris it costs between 35 and 45 euros to get to Eguzon.
On the day exactly 3 months before your journey, all train tickets of that date will be released. So April 4th the tickets will be released from July 4th. On that day, travel organizations book up all cheap places. This is also the time for you to buy your ticket cheaply!

What to bring with you
Try to bring with you: a flashlight when you planning on camping, your own towels, and a big towel or sari for the exercises on the yoga mat. There are bed sheets and covers on the beds, so you don’t have to bring them yourself if you are not camping with your own tent.
Clothes: Temperatures are usually somewhere be between 15 to 25 degrees Celsius. So bring some sweaters and trousers, T-shirts and short pants. Yoga clothes: comfortable jogging pants and long sleeve / T-shirt or sari.
There is a piano, 3 guitars, a djembee, a harmonium, a squeezebox and a variety of bells, but if you have other instruments you play or sheet music you want to use, please if you can bring it with you;-)
There is free WIFI for your use.
Feel free to contact us if you have any questions! And please get in contact with us again one week before your course, to let us know the details of your arrival.
Thanx!!! With love,
