SPRING DETOX
A gentle renewal in the heart of Provence
Spring is a season of renewal.
​
At a time when Provence is at its very best - fresh, luminous and full of life - Spring Detox​ is a four day pause designed to help you reset gently and naturally, in tune with the season.
This short escape invites you to embrace the rhythm of the Luberon, blending gentle movement, nourishing food and free time, all within a relaxed and convivial atmosphere.
Each day begins with a yoga or pilates session, suitable for all levels, focusing on mobility, strength and relaxation.
We will visit local markets to shop for fresh ingredients, before coming together in the kitchen before each meal. Together we will prepare flavourful dishes, using fresh, seasonal ingredients — simple, generous cooking that supports wellbeing while preserving the pleasure of eating and sharing meals together.
Beyond these shared moments, the rest of the day is yours. Take the time to explore the Luberon at your own pace. Explore nearby villages, soak up the Spring sunshine by the pool, hike the Luberon hills, or simply rest You are free to follow your own rhythm, and we are at your disposotion to share our knowledge of the region to help you plan your days.
This retreat is offered as a self-drive experience, ideal for those who enjoy independence while still sharing meaningful moments together.
You'll leave with a small recipe booklet, easy ideas to recreate at home, and renewed sense of lightness, balance and energy.
More than a detox, Spring Detox is an invitation to reconnect with your body, your appetite and your daily rhythm - embraced in the gentle warmth of a Provençal spring.

Bookings are closed and confirmed 60 days before the start of the retreat.

What if I need some time to myself?
. That's completeky expected. While many moments are shared, you're always free to take time for yourself - to rest, enjoy the garden, the pool or your room. You're welcome to take part in all activities... or skip one if you feel the need. This retreat is yours.
