In this France Small Group Tour, you will discover the art of slow living at Almières, a hidden gem in the French countryside whose name can be interpreted as “Light of the Soul.” Rejuvenate your mind, body, and spirit in the stunning Grands-Causses Mountains during this immersive Yoga Retreat.
Breathe in the fresh air, stroll through the golden grass, visit the healing waters of the Tarn River, and watch birds soar over the gorges. This magical land invites you to pause, receive its wisdom, and give reverence to the abundant beauty of the earth. Whether you’re seeking a serene France Small Group Tour or a transformative Yoga Retreat, Almières offers the perfect setting to reconnect with yourself and nature.
At Almières, you’ll enter full retreat mode with a digital detox, enjoying morning and evening yoga, meditation, and breathwork sessions led by Christine Provine. Additional activities include sound healing, Nordic baths, sauna, massage, and nourishing, balanced cuisine prepared by a naturopathic chef.
Our exclusive accommodation is a small hamlet, an ancient sheep farm lovingly restored with utmost respect for the environment. It seamlessly blends comfort, luxury, and simplicity in the heart of nature.
Every corner of the hamlet has been thoughtfully curated and cared for by our hosts Marise and Monia, who have poured their hearts into the place, making you feel deeply at home. With its seamless blend of ancient and modern, resulting in timeless elegance, Almières continues to inspire nature lovers, mindfulness practitioners, and architecture enthusiasts from around the world.
Nestled on the edge of a canyon in a national park with breathtaking views of the mountains, gorge, and river, each morning you’ll awaken in a spacious sunlit room, part of which features a beautiful bathroom with a bathtub—a perfect spot for self-care.
The France Small Group Tour includes opportunities for local excursions, such as a hike along the gorge, a private boat trip down the river, and a visit to what’s known as one of the most beautiful villages in France: Saint Enimie.
Each day, we’ll take time to honor the gifts of the land and people we encounter, embracing the nourishing and healing essence of our beloved planet. The Yoga Retreat concludes with a celebratory dinner, leaving you refreshed and inspired as you return home or continue your journey independently.
