THE VENUE & ACCOMMODATION
We’ll be located at the lovely French Retreat located in La Charente, about a 75-90 minute drive from Bordeaux Airport and a few minutes drive from the local train station, Chalais.
Our enchanting accommodation offers a respite from the noise and chaos of everyday life. With comfortable and cozy rooms designed to enhance relaxation, you'll instantly feel at home.
The bedrooms are either ensuite or sharing a bathroom and all have towels, hair dryer and lovely body wash in the showers.
YOUR DAY
There’ll be yoga every morning, 8-9.15am starting on Sunday morning (apart from the day of departure) and in the evenings, 6-7.15pm from Sunday evening. All classes are mixed ability and perfectly tailored to suit all abilities. We always offer modifications and variations to suit the individual! Whether you're a seasoned yogi or a beginner, our classes will inspire a deeper connection with your inner self.
During the day is your time! Either sit by the pool with a good book, go for a walk or a cycle ride or have a blissful massage! We’ll take a walk into the local village, Chalais on Monday morning after yoga and breakfast to explore the weekly market and to grab a coffee at one of the local cafés. You may want to go back during the week and explore the splendid chateau and experience the informative guided tour.
Connect with nature and breathe in the fresh air, and let Mother Earth heal your spirit!
