Under 30’s
Living conditions are simple. Please try and bring a tent if you’re coming over Easter, Ascension, Pentecost, during summer or at All Saints.
Bring with you a sleeping bag, towel, camping mat and blankets.
If you can’t bring a tent, you will stay in our tents or in dormitories (men and women separate). You will be given your accommodation when you arrive. In winter, heated dormitory accommodation is available for all.
Over 30’s
If possible, please bring camping equipment (tent, caravan or motor caravan). Otherwise, accommodation will be allocated when you arrive. Those aged over 30 stay in shared accommodation, in Taizé or nearby. Those aged 30 to 55/65 stay in dormitories with several beds; those over 65, when possible, in 3-bedded rooms; and couples, when possible, in twin-bedded rooms in Taizé or in villages nearby. (Young couples may also be accommodated in tents.)
We have limited accommodation for those requiring special facilities: the elderly, those with a disability or using a wheelchair. For them, it is essential to send in an online registration request well before fixing a date or making travel arrangements. Please avoid Holy Week and Easter Week, Ascension week (9-16 May) and the period between mid July and the end of August.
Don’t forget to bring sheets or a sleeping bag and a towel.
Families with children
All families have their meals, Bible introductions and activities at Ameugny.
Families who come when there are no family meetings take part in the adults meetings in Taizé.
Accommodation is allocated on arrival in Taizé. All those who can should bring camping equipment, even at Easter. Otherwise, families may be given a room, a small dormitory or a family tent, in Ameugny, at Taizé, or nearby. Families with very young children are given priority for accommodation in rooms. The conditions of welcome are very simple.
N.B. Please bring sheets or sleeping bags, towels, and cots for very young children.
