The European kyudo Gathering in Bourges is approaching and we are now providing you with the following practical information.

• Accommodation: we are pleased to confirm that all requests for accommodation at the CREPS have been honoured. We would like to remind you that although bed linen is provided, you must bring your own towels.

• Hydration: the water in the CREPS is perfectly drinkable, as everywhere in France. Please be self-sufficient when it comes to hydrating yourself, bring your own bottles.

• Drinks: the CREPS is a sports establishment for young people, the consumption of alcohol is forbidden.

• Note-taking: bring your own notebooks and pencils, do not exchange them with other students.

The nearest pharmacy to the CREPS is the Pharmacie de Paris, located at 120 Avenue du Général Charles de Gaulle, Bourges, for the antigenic tests which can be done in 15 minutes at no charge. A doctor on staff will be available for questions and advice.
