- Upstairs: a double bedroom and a dormitory, equipped with mattresses with covers and extra blankets.
- Below the ground floor: accessible via a trapdoor and stairs from the living room or from outside, there is a wood storage area, 2 toilets, and a cold shower.
Outside you will have the access to the forest, an open view of the Obiou mountain, and a barbecue area.
