Location
New year, new location! The party will take place in the middle of the beautiful Normandy countryside, with just cows and us. The perfect surroundings for optimising your code and meet your friends! The party place will be close to the Hambye Abbey, which is definitely worth a visit!
The building will provide a main hall for up to 40 people. The doors will open on Thursday at 10:00 until Sunday at 18:00.
There will be a sleeping area on the stage in the hall, don't forget your sleeping bag and your mattress! Toilets and sinks will be available on site. Just 5 minutes from the venue, there will be a base camp with 2 showers and beds to "share" for around 10 people (note that it will be available until Monday at 10:00 if needed). If you're looking for the ultimate in comfort, there are several AirBnBs and gîtes ruraux in the area.
