La Mouline Play
Therapy Training Centre
The
Certificate and
Diploma courses that have been
accredited by PTI , PTUK, IBECPT and Canterbury Christ Church University are now also offered at La Mouline.
The
beautiful, peaceful environment enables students to thoroughly relax
during and after the study sessions and exercises. There is also
the attraction of combining a holiday with your training with a
range of local accommodation ranging from £12 per person per night
sharing a gite to four star hotels.
A typical local hotel price is £40 per night B&B. There are plenty of nearby family attractions.
Although a pick-up
service from Toulouse airport is available at 11am on the day before the
start of the course, it is strongly recommended that you rent (or share
the rental of) a car. This will make your stay much more enjoyable
through the places and restaurants that you can visit. Please note
that the work is intensive over the 15 days. La Mouline is in a
rural area 10 minutes from the nearest small town. Taxis are expensive.

Ambiance
La
Mouline was built as a small water mill in about 1850. It was burnt down
38 years ago and stood as a ruin for 35 years. The owners have completed a
sympathetic restoration that combines many of the original features with
the extensive use of glass to take advantage of the magnificent views.
The Play Therapy Training Centre uses a converted barn as a teaching
facility and shady areas of the grounds and other structures for the
experiential and practical exercises.
The Centre stands in 26 acres bordered by a mill stream, set in the beautiful Tarnaise countryside. The grounds contain a
small lake with an island and rowing boat. There is a heated salt water
swimming pool for your use. Most students have a dip before lunch and at
5pm after the teaching. We grow all our own vegetables and you will
be able to pick fruit that is in season from a selection of over 70
fruit trees.
Although the nearest neighbour is a kilometre away La Mouline is only 10
minutes from the charming small town of Realmont which has an excellent
supermarket, 5 bakers, 4 butchers, 2 pharmacies a doctor with fluent
English and 6 ladies' hairdressers(!) The beautiful city of Albi,
(Toulouse-Lautrec centre), with many hotels, is a 20 minute drive way.
Normally the weather is warm to very hot in
July and August although there can be some cool days. In 20056
temperatures during teaching hours ranged from 16C to 42C. As a
result air conditioning has been installed in the teaching room!
Travel
Toulouse (Blagnac) airport with budget airline
services from many UK airports (typically £60 return) is less than an
hour away. Other services, including international flights are available via Amsterdam and Paris.
Book early (ie at least 3 months in advance) to get the low cost deals!
The La Mouline Play Therapy Training Centre is approximately one hour
easy drive from the airport.
A second option is to
drive. This is an excellent way of combining your training with a
family holiday. La Mouline is approximately 650 miles from Calais,
mostly on the excellent autoroutes. We suggest that you have one
overnight stay en-route.
