Relax into stillness...

Little French Retreat is a retreat venue with a difference.

A warm and welcoming country home in a rural corner of Gascony, France, we offer authentic and intimate retreat experiences for small groups.

The combination of tranquil surroundings, nourishing home cooked food and daily yoga classes enable guests to slow down and let go of any ideas or habits that may be limiting their wellbeing.

We accommodate a maximum of six guests at any one time, so that the experience never feels hurried or crowded and we have time to give each guest the care and attention they need.

Our retreats encourage guests to reset their course and give them the tools to carry those changes forward into their lives.
