Many of you already know that I choose my retreats from the heart, so I'm even happier to share with you the flavours of spring in the country where I grew up.
As soon as you walk through the gates of the Domaine des Clos, it's as if you're entering a new dimension. You feel protected and carried by a halo of well-being that suddenly envelops you and never leaves. You won't want to leave!\
A space out of time, an incredible team, warm facilities, a kitchen to die for, magical greenery - for us, it's a before and after experience without hesitation.
In an idyllic Provençal setting, between your workouts and our moments of sharing, you'll have the chance to lose yourself in some beautiful stages in the heart of Provence to let off steam during the run and of course plenty of other activities for ladies and gentlemen in a setting that offers you that breath of fresh air we all need.
All punctuated, if you wish, by Reiki, hypnosis sessions, massages and other moments of calm.
At Domaine des Clos, we've been welcoming guests from the four corners of the world for over 25 years, and we love sharing their cultures. We also have a passion for know-how and passing it on. Our 18th-century farmhouse, patiently restored by talented craftsmen, is one of the finest examples of this. During our travels in India, we fell under the spell of this country: its colors, its flavors, its art and its influences on our Provencal culture. Since the 16th century, close ties have been forged between India and Provence thanks to fabrics. Here in the South of France, we call them Indiennes, without always knowing the origin of this name. The floral ornaments, stamp prints and shimmering colors emblematic of Provencal fabrics were first imported from India, then copied from Indian know-how and adapted to our regional motifs (vegetation, animals, tales and legends). The meeting with the famous miniature painter Shiv Swami from Bikaner, Rajasthan, and Domaine des Clos' desire to organize events to celebrate his culture and artistic mastery are a perfect opportunity to create a unique experience in the South of France.

Les événements de la vie nous entrainent dans une spirale, sans que l’on s’en rende compte et parfois, juste se poser, quelques jours et orienter son attention différemment nous permet de recharger les batteries.
Cette année, ce sera au Domaine des Clos, en Camargue, dans une magnifique bâtisse du XVIII siècle, que nous allons, pendant 3 jours/2 nuits nous ressourcer, en immersion complète, dans le calme, le silence et au milieu de la Nature.
Sur le thème "Ma Bulle d”oxygène” nous allons prendre 2 jours rien que pour soi et créer une parenthèse enchantée.
Nous allons nous faire du bien en bougeant en conscience.
Nous allons prendre le temps de respirer.
Les courageux pourrons se baigner dans la magnifique piscine du domaine. Nous allons partager, rigoler, rencontrer de nouvelles personnes.
Nous profiterons aussi de la nature, peut être d’un massage et de la bonne nourriture, pour partager de bons moments ensemble et revenir chargés de bonnes ondes pour “transitionner” tranquillement vers l’hiver.
