Late Arrivals
1 Hour Leeway Maximum
The Guide’s cell phone number is given to the agency and the tour leader beforehand.
If the clients are late and the Guide has received no news from the group after one hour, the Guide may leave the Meet-Up point. The service will be billed and due for the full amount.
If the clients are late, the visit may be shortened accordingly with respect to the Guide’s availability. The full sum of the service will be due.
Any modification of the agreed program can only be made by the Guide or with her written agreement.
In any case, neither reimbursement nor indemnity will be given.
In the event that the due date of payment is not respected, the company, La Normandie d’Amandine, has a right to and will add a fixed overdue fee of forty (40) euros, in keeping with article D 441-5 of the French Code of Commerce. The total sum for which the debtor will be responsible will be increased, according to the law, at the overdue rate of 1.5% per month which will apply to all sums beyond the initial 40 euros, without any necessity of formal notice and without affecting the costs of pursuit and damages or interest in terms of the harm experienced.
All procedural expenses incurred in view of recuperating the unpaid sums will be exclusively at the charge of the debtor and will be estimated on a forfeit based on 10% of the remaining sum due, with a minimum of 150€.
Cancellation by the Client
- Less than 48 hours before departure: the services will be 100% charged and due.
- Less than 15 days before departure: The client must compensate by paying a forfeit amounting to 30% of the total services.
Replacement in case of the Guide’s Absence
If the Guide is ill or has a last minute emergency, she will do everything possible to alert the person responsible for the group and also to be replaced by another guide for these services. Otherwise the service will not be billed to the client.
For the Astonishing Past tours, whose conception and implementation are done only by La Normandie d’Amandine, no substitution is possible. In the case of that impossibility, the visit will be postponed to another date and the tickets will continue to be valid for those later dates. At the end of the calendar year, if the clients were not able to participate in the visits on the other dates, their tickets will be entirely reimbursed by bank transfer.
Tickets for The Astonishing Past
Individual reservations for the Astonishing Past Tours are made directly on the Boutique page of the internet site, lanormandiedamandine.com. Bank payments may be made via the secure payment platform, Stripe. No fees will be charged.
An email confirming payment will be automatically sent to you. No unpaid reservation will be validated.
Limitations
On account of the interactive nature of the visits and the fact that they include a certain materials or equipment, the number of participants is limited. Each visit can accommodate no more than six families or constituted groups, that is, about twenty people.
In the event that the visit is overbooked, La Normandie d’Amandine will first suggest postponing your tickets to a later date for a visit. If you are not available on those dates, your tickets will be reimbursed by bank transfer.
Inclement Weather
In the event of extremely bad weather, la Normandie d’Amandine reserves the right to cancel or postpone the visits of the Ganne Château and the Manoir de la Motte which take place outside.
Transportation and Insurance
The guide is neither entitled to drive the client’s vehicle nor her personal vehicle, but may call on a transportation company licenced to drive individual clients.
The guide has professional liability insurance.
