Joie de Vivre: Nature Therapy Tour in Dordogne, France

EXPLORE

The fabulous region of Dordogne is packed with outdoor activities, world-famous vineyards, medieval villages, historical sites, restaurants and music. We will be visiting a handful of the UNESCO World Heritage villages of this region, such as St. Emilion, Issigeac, Domme, and Beynac (the film location of the 2000 film Chocolat). Enjoy a group canoe ride through a nature preserve in the Dordogne River (the cleanest river in France), wine and cheese tastings, local cuisine, and so much more. Include lots of extra room in your luggage for all the glorious wines you’ll want to bring home!

REJUVENATE

Our chateau is our home base for the week — no shifting from one accommodation to the next. We encourage you to slow down and discover joie de vivre with us. All evenings, as well as at least three half-days, are spent on the estate. Enjoy the heated salt-water pool, or treat yourself to a professional massage in our private treatment room (this is an add-on service, and must be scheduled in advance).

Take time alone when you need to – wander the rolling hills, read a book by the pool, take a nap in your luxurious suite. Whatever feels right to you. Want to stay back from one of the day trips? Go ahead! This is YOUR time to relax, to enjoy.

Join in group activities, both planned and spontaneous — we provide two guided Forest & Nature Therapy walks, a French taste meditation, optional leisurely nature walks, a Horticultural Therapy session, wine tasting on-property with a local sommelier, a local chef serving fresh local cuisine, and lots of leisure time. Many other surprises await!
