Rules and regulations

Version of 25-12.2023 subject to update (see the internal regulations posted at the Domaine).

Article 1. General principle

You’re in a private, high-quality, quiet, family-friendly residential area, a natural setting that needs to be preserved.

Any person who refuses to respect this spirit and contravenes these rules, by any act whatsoever (noise, pollution, etc.), will be asked to leave the premises immediately and obliged to pay all costs and fines related to their nuisance, or even be expelled from the Domaine with immediate termination of their contract in the most serious cases. The general interest and the quality of the site determine these rules of living together.

These rules apply to everyone: travelers, owners, workers, visitors!

Article 2. Occupancy & use

Access and keys

• The estate is strictly reserved for residents.
• All residents and visitors report to reception.
• It is strictly forbidden to entrust keys or access codes to any third party. Likewise, it is forbidden to let anyone in who is not known to the estate.

Plot/accommodation

• Each occupant has free use of his or her accommodation and plot of land.
• However, it must in no way compromise the safety, tranquillity or quality of life of the neighbourhood, nor detract from the destination and coherence of the site.
• The number of occupants in a residence may not exceed the authorized capacity.
• Lodging in a garden shed, vehicle, tent, caravan or mobile home is strictly forbidden.
• The estate is privately owned, and so is each residence.
  • Access to the estate is therefore forbidden to the non-resident public (with the exception of guests of residents who have to report to reception),
  • Access to a private residence is not permitted without the owner’s express consent,
  • You are not allowed to enter a residence or private garden, or to use or borrow any of the equipment or fittings found there (parasols, barbecues, tarpaulins, etc.). Likewise, you are not allowed to use equipment that is not your own (tractor, ladder, etc.).
• Terraces and surrounding areas must be kept perfectly clean and tidy.
  • Tight clotheslines are not permitted. A clothesline is provided in most chalets and must be removed as soon as it is no longer in use. Please contact reception for laundry.
  • Terrace tarpaulins and closures of any kind are not permitted.
  • Provisions and equipment are not stored on the terraces and surrounding areas.
• It is not permitted to add new electrical equipment or, in general, to install anything without formal written agreement.

Traffic on the estate – Luggage unloading/unloading at arrival/departure times

• Traffic is primarily reserved for pedestrians and bicycles; vehicle circulation is prohibited or very limited (for safety, technical interventions and PRM).
• Except for services, coming and going is forbidden during the day, and vehicles that have left the estate remain outside.
• Unloading and loading of luggage/carriages is permitted during check-in and check-out times, leaving the vehicle on the road beside the chalet (parking in the gardens is prohibited).
• For safety reasons, the speed limit is 10 km/hour (driving at a “walking pace”).
• The driver is fully responsible for any incident.

Parking: dedicated space

• Each residence has a dedicated parking space (or 2 for chalets of 6 people or more), which is fixed by the management: a parking card (available at reception) is to be placed on the windscreen.
• It is strictly forbidden to park on lawns (in the garden of a residence), opposite a resident’s terrace, at a neighbor’s home, or in a space not dedicated to your residence; vehicles park on the road while you load/unload belongings.
• Trucks, vans, trailers, quads, 4X4s, caravans, campers and tents are not allowed (except for craftsmen working for the estate).
• Motorcycles and classic cars: please contact reception.

Electric cars: currently no charging on the estate!

• For recharging, electric vehicle owners are required to use the dedicated charging stations at Montsauche-les-Settons, Planchez or Saulieu. Charging in chalets is strictly forbidden.
• Any infringement will cost the vehicle owner €75 (immediate deduction from deposit or invoicing on annual invoice for owners).
• A recharging project is underway: please ask at reception.

Playground

• Playgrounds are accessible exclusively to residents, who are entirely responsible for their use.
• They will only be used by children of the right age for the games on offer.
• Children will be accompanied by adults in charge.

Article 3. Life rules

Dress code

• Everyone is responsible for ensuring that they and their visitors are properly dressed.
• Naturism is prohibited throughout the estate, including private gardens.

Noise pollution

• Residents are responsible for everyone’s peace and quiet. Noise of any kind disturbing the peace and quiet of the neighborhood is prohibited (daytime disturbance) and strictly forbidden between 10:30 p.m. and 7:30 a.m. (nighttime disturbance). Parties of the “JF/G” type are forbidden.
• Should an occasional family party cause unusual noise, the resident will inform the manager in advance, and a notice will be posted as a courtesy to all. Use of the hall (lakefront) will be preferred to a party around the cottages.
• The use of any equipment emitting a loud and/or repetitive noise likely to disturb the neighborhood (quad bikes, mole catchers, etc.) is prohibited, with the exception of technical maintenance equipment, and by special dispensation.
• Work is tolerated on weekdays and during the day only, to respect everyone’s rest. Reception must be informed of any such work. A derogation may be granted during the low season for construction and annual work.

Fire and barbecue

• Fires are strictly forbidden in the Morvan Regional Nature Park, on the shores of the lake and on the estate itself, unless special authorization has been obtained.
• Mobile barbecues of any kind (gas, charcoal, etc.) are forbidden on the lakeshore and estate. Fixed grills, electric or gas planchas are authorized.
• Smoking is forbidden inside rented buildings. Throwing cigarette butts will be considered both a breach of cleanliness and a fire hazard.
• All cleaning will be billed, and any damage (personal or material) or costs incurred as a result of a fire will be the responsibility of the person who started it.
• In times of drought, prohibition orders could be issued.
• A fire alarm is installed in each accommodation, and owners are strongly advised to install a fire extinguisher.
• Fire extinguishers are installed in the vicinity of residences; they may only be used if necessary.

Waste

• Waste sorting is compulsory and in accordance with local and posted instructions.
• No deposits of any kind, including natural waste, will be tolerated on the site. Please dispose of your waste within 24 hours, in particular at the Déchetterie (Montsauche). Unauthorized dumping (even next to containers) will be severely penalized.

Animals

• Dogs are allowed in certain residences, and are entirely your responsibility. They must be registered at reception, kept on a leash and their droppings collected immediately. Dogs are not allowed to roam. Dogs may not be left alone in holiday cottages.
• Cats, NACs, rodents and dangerous dogs (1st and 2nd categories) are strictly forbidden. The same applies to all malicious, foul-smelling, unclean or shrill animals.

• Possession of narcotics, drugs and hallucinogens is prohibited.
• Drunkenness in the common areas of the estate is prohibited.

Article 4. Complaints & Penalties

All complaints regarding inconveniences of any kind, observations and suggestions should be made by e-mail to contact@lacabaneverte.fr or on plain paper attested and signed by the declarant and handed in at reception.

• They will be nominative and will include contact details (name, plot, telephone number).
• The description of the problem must be precise and the inconvenience dated.
• The problems will be resolved as quickly as possible.

In the event of non-compliance with these rules, residents will be asked to modify their behaviour.
