retreat in bordeaux

RETREAT OVERVIEW

If purpose and meaning are what you seek in a venue, this sanctuary is exactly what you’ve been looking for. Our retreat center found its new custodians as they dreamed of it while cycling just outside its gates. Situated in the Bordeaux region, this Yoga retreat center offers everything you and your group need from the moment you arrive.

Built in the 1900s in the coastal town of Taussat, this magnificent property exudes peace, awe, and connection, drawing you toward the lush gardens and pristine beach. Its new custodians have carefully renovated this Italian-influenced coastal home, restoring it to its former glory while adding zen-inspired gardens that perfectly complement the tranquil environment. These gardens serve as a sanctuary for connecting with nature, allowing you to absorb the pure energy of the ecosystem and Mother Nature’s Prana.

The vision behind this retreat is simple yet profound: to utilize this 100-year-old property and its expansive gardens as a space for imparting wisdom, wellness, and transformation. It's an ideal venue for inspiring retreats where guests can soak in the Atlantic’s healing negative ions and enjoy the breathtaking golden sunsets. Here, elegance, nature, and tradition merge to offer the perfect setting for those seeking a retreat space in France that truly embodies harmony.
