Rejuvenate, Rest and Realign Retreat.
September 11th - 16th 2024
5 nights at the idyllic boutique Maison 10 retreat venue in the South of France.
A beautiful renovated farmhouse nestled in the wild mountainous landscape of La Drome Provençale, on the Rhônes-Alpes/Provence borders. With a mix of modern and vintage styles, the privately owned Maison 10 provides the ideal venue to feel rejuvenated, rested and realigned to your true self. Surrounded by nourishing forests, rich olive groves, vineyards and orchards. With light airy modern bedrooms overlooking the Provence valleys, a heated swimming pool, cosy drawing room with open fire place, reading room and glass fronted poolside yoga shala, this is the perfect sanctuary to escape to.
Located just over an hour from Avignon's Eurostar service from St. Pancras and under two hours from Marseilles airport.
Nourishment
The private Ayurvedic chef Raul Crespo, https://www.chefraulcrespo.com will be nourishing us with organic homemade vegetarian meals (vegan options plentiful) Raul believes food is more than feeding people and is an art of life.

Accommodation
Maison 10 boutique venue accommodates 12 people making it a very intimate South of France retreat experience. Six shared double bedrooms with comfy LOAF beds and beautiful views across the valley. All equipped with bath towels and poolside towels, hairdryer and mosquito window nets. https://www.maison10.co.uk/about-us/
Surrounding area
There is plenty to do during your free time and the beautiful landscape lends itself to hiking, cycling and exploring, or sitting by the pool and basking in the nurturing environment. The ancient market town Nyons is a 10 minute walk from Maison 10, nicknamed “Le petit Nice” Nyons microclimate and exceptional air quality has given it the title of France’s most beautiful detour. Known for its Lavender fields, rich olive oil and vineyards. https://www.thegoodlifefrance.com/nyons-drome-the-last-provencal-frontier/
