We will carefully monitor the emergency situation and adapt to it. We will run the Beg Rohu summer school taking all the appropriate health measures that will be needed to guarantee a safe environment, in particular all students will have a single room and the lecture room will have a good aeration system. All participants will be required to have completed their World Health Organization-approved vaccination schedule two weeks before the school or earlier.
The school is accommodated at the French National Sailing School (Ecole Nationale de Voile), located on the site of Beg Rohu, in the village Saint Pierre Quiberon, on the peninsula of Quiberon in southern Brittany. The nearest cities are Quiberon, Auray and Vannes, all located in the district of Morbihan.
From Paris, TGV express trains take 2h50 to reach Auray. Then get on the local train to Quiberon, which makes a stop at Saint Pierre Quiberon close to Beg Rohu. You can book the entire journey on the SNCF website. More information will be posted after the selection process. See our detailed instructions for the arrival and departure.
The cost of the school is 1100 euros per participant. It covers all regular expenses including accommodation and meals. An extra 150 euros will be required from participants wishing to attend sailing activities.
The school will start on Monday the 6th of June (arrival on Sunday the 5th afternoon) and end after lunch on Saturday the 18th of June. There will be 3 lectures per day, except on Sunday the 12th of June that will be lectures-free. We will have access to several boats to make a day-long sailing trip.
A typical day schedule of the summer school will consist in 3 lectures per day, each one 1.5 hours long. There will be 2 lectures in the morning. The first one will start at 8.30 am. After lunch there will be sailing lessons (or free time for the ones not taking sailing lessons), followed by the third lecture at 5.45 pm. Some evenings, after dinner, there will be questions and answers sessions and seminars.
The detailed schedule will be provided at the beginning of the school.
