Playing sports

Whether you're an avid hiker, mountain biker or rock climber, you'll find plenty of opportunities to work out and recharge your batteries in contact with nature. Take advantage of a privileged setting to practice your favorite sport and surpass yourself.
On campus, a gym is at your disposal. Opening hours are managed by the students, who also offer off-campus sports activities throughout the year (tennis, soccer, handball, volleyball, basketball, swimming, etc.).
In the surrounding communes, you'll find several sports halls, municipal swimming pools, climbing sites (Les Roches enchantées) and clubs and associations.
Accommodation
Enjoy spacious, comfortable accommodation at reasonable prices. Take a breather! Here you'll enjoy generous personal space, often with gardens, barbecues and sometimes even a swimming pool and tennis court. You're a far cry from the cramped, noisy student rooms of the big cities. Have you been accepted? The École helps you in your search by providing you with a list of accommodation options.
Most students live in the village around the campus, often in shared accommodation. Some students with vehicles live a little further away, within a 5-10 minute drive. Rents range from around €350 to €450 per month.
Some forty student housing units are located on campus, within the École's own grounds. They are reserved for 1st year MBA and work-study students.
Work-study students spend one week a month on campus, and can stay at the nearby Lycée professionnel de Chardeuil boarding school for just €4 a night. Unbeatable!
Eating out
The Savignac region is brimming with gastronomic treasures that are sure to delight your taste buds. You'll have the opportunity to discover authentic cuisine featuring local produce and the exceptional terroir of the Dordogne.
During weekday lunchtimes, all students have lunch at the campus cafeteria, run by Sodexo. It offers healthy, well-balanced menus. Students living on campus also dine there. Professional lecturers, who stay at the École hotel, have their meals with the students. So there's a real mix and proximity on campus.
Getting around
Despite its remoteness from major cities, Savignac remains perfectly accessible. Bordeaux is 2 hours away, Toulouse 3 hours and Limoges 1h30. All have direct connections from the Périgueux train station. So you can enjoy the tranquility of life in Savignac, while staying connected to the surrounding towns for outings, cultural escapades and shopping.
For your day-to-day needs, there's a bus service to Périgueux, some 20 minutes away. But students use it very little: they all know each other and help each other out, so they generally carpool for all their needs. They've even set up a Facebook page to organize their journeys!
