You should have been given a four digit code for the gate. Once you enter this code you have 5 seconds to pull the left gate towards you. You will need a firm pull
The keys to the front door for each house and a gate key are in key boxes. The key box for Jacquette is near the foot of the steps. The key box for Philibert is up the steps to the left of the main door
You should have been given a five digit code for the key box

NOTE: When the gate is closed it can only be opened from inside by the key or by pressing a button on the intercoms in each house. The intercoms are near each front door and the instructions are written on the intercom
Please do not deadlock the gate with the key since it cannot then be opened from the keypad or the intercom

If the gates are closed, visitors can call both houses using the intercom on the wall near the gates. There is a portable handset near the front door in each house. The instructions to open the gate (and to call the other house) are on the handsets

There is a security camera on the shelves near the dining table in Jacquette. The camera is not switched on when the house is occupied but you may prefer to disconnect the power from the back of the camera to ensure privacy
There is also a fixed security camera to the courtyard
