House address and GPS coordinates
The address is: 2 rue de l ́église 83520 Roquebrune sur Argens, France
The address has recently been renamed: 2 placette Mayol 83520 Roquebrune sur Argens, France

The house is in the middle of the old part of the village. It is a pedestrian area. There are few car parking spaces that get free during the weekdays when people go to work. Personally, the walk from the Parking Castrum through the old village is a delight!
When you first arrive in Roquebrune
When you first get to Roquebrune on Argens, stop the car:
Place Perrin, 83520 Roquebrune sur Argens
➡️ « Abandonment » your car for a few minutes by the gate close to the Bar de Roquebrune: https://goo.gl/maps/ZEj2Sv8bD7EihTAXA)
then walk to the house to pick up the key in the keybox.
On the keyring, there is BADGE that opens the gate.
To open the gate, secure your car is very close to the gate (there is a sensor).
Drop-off your suggestion then park the car.
Where to park your car in Roquebrune sur Argens
Parking Boulevard Jean Jaurès : https://goo.gl/maps/sokQ8qs18GpLZAVn6
(if the car parking spot has blue lines, then it is only 2 hours free parking duri(ng the day, then free at night)
Castrum Parking : https://goo.gl/maps/VVCwQim2YkkLHNFA7
(24/7 free parking, this is the best option; if full, then there are spaces when you head towards the Cemetary)
Both car parks have electric car driving stations.
Both are nice shorts walks through the village.
There chill out!
Enjoy your stay in Roquebrune on Argens, François

Hot water
On the Hager box (see picture above), the most right switch has 3 positions:
- Top: on all the time (convenient but not so good for the electricity bill and the planet)

- Bottom: off
In off position when you just arrive, please turn it on (top), then please put it back in the normal position the day after…
Living room
When you first arrive, open the blinds and windows for 10 minutes to get fresh air. As the house is dated from the 18th century, you need to do the air flow!
We have just found very old pieces of furniture, stored in the living room. We will take them up to the first floor when we have sufficient strong people with us! Sorry for leaving you with a packed living room!
Bed sizes and bed sheets
When you arrive, beds sheets should be on the beds wool case, but beds should be generally ready made, with bed sheets fitted.
The bed sizes are the following:
- Ground floor: 160×200
- First floor: 140×190
- Second floor: 120×190
Please:
- Second floor: there is an extra bed sheet on top just to protect from the dust coming from the roof, simply remove it
- 2nd floor: the 2nd bed was too old unfortunately, so we had to remove the frame. If you want to sleep a second person there, then move the bedsheets from the ground floor room to this 1-person mattress on the 2nd floor
- Use our bed sheets, we have made the beds
- Leave the stock of bed sheets and towels that we have in the room Facing the toilet
- If you need extra, ask me!

It is probably easier to fly an Airbus than the Whirlpool AMW730IX.
One magic button can save your life:
Button 6: press firmly to start the microwave immediately then adjust the time with wheel 5.
Brave people can read the instruction manual in French or the instruction manual in English. Good lucky!
