France Retreat House
15 max capacity - 7 bedrooms - 10 beds - Event space 50 guests
About the venue:
We are a family-run venue, based in an authentic French “Maison de maître” dating from 1878 and offer bespoke hospitality in a relaxing atmosphere.
The property was set up with retreats and seminars in mind. The original buildings maintained their original charm with wooden floors and partly stoned walls. We enhanced it with a 25m lap pool, a sports and meditation room and several terraces.
The estate is immersed in the quiet country side and offers breath-taking 360-degree views. The secluded position provides a soothing atmosphere to its visitors.
The venue is perfect for retreats based on yoga, meditation, sports and personal development, for up to 15 people. But we are also hosting residential seminars, off-site meetings, team building and creative workshops.
Full Board
During retreats or seminars, we offer full catering service:
Our breakfast is famous for the home-made freshly baked bread, supplemented with a mini buffet of cheeses, cold cuts and fruit salad. Eggs, any style, can also be requested.
On the menu is Asian or European cuisine, as per our origins. We use locally sourced, mostly organic products, some even from our own garden.
In collaboration with a local crafts gin distillery, we offer gin tasting and food pairing evenings.
We are happy to adapt our cooking for vegetarian guests or guests with food intolerances or allergies. During retreats, free flow of water, tea and coffee will be offered. Refreshments and bites can be foreseen during the breaks.
Weather permitting, all meals will be taken outside. Otherwise, we will host guests in our dining room.

Facilities
Our venue hosts 4 double ensuite rooms in the main house, as well as a 2-persons loft and a 2-room independent facility (Gîte) for up to 5 people.
In summertime we will be living outdoors most of the time, but otherwise, our large authentic French living room is the get-together place for meetings and briefings. In winter the woodstove will provide a cosy warm feeling.
The sports and meditation room is located in the former drying barn (30m2). It has a magnificent view onto the surrounding countryside, especially at sunrise. It has a gym corner with a bench, weights and a stationary bike.
The property spreads over 4,5ha with 360 degrees views. Several terraces along the pool and the house are perfect places for classes, gatherings or break-out sessions.
The main garden attraction is the 25m heated lap pool with its original fountain and surrounding sunbeds. It is mainly used for relaxing, but sports groups can use it for training purposes.
All our accommodations are available throughout the year (with the exception of the pool, which is heated from Easter till end October).
We have plenty of free parking space. And of course, we have WIFI.
