French Château Retreat
Retreat to a French Château in Lyon 19th – 25th April 2026
A Week of Wellness, Connection, and Deep Renewal
Escape to the heart of the French countryside for a truly transformative wellness retreat, hosted in a breathtaking private Château just outside Lyon, only a 2-hour flight from Ireland. This is not a hotel stay – it’s a full immersion into beauty, healing, and presence, held in an exclusive, peaceful space all to ourselves. No yoga experience required!
From the moment you arrive, you’ll be welcomed into an experience that blends deep rest with creative and spiritual exploration. Each day offers a mix of yoga, breathwork, dance, meditation, mindfulness visualisation, healing circles, journalling, and arts & crafts – all designed to help you reconnect with your body, spirit, and joy. You will get plenty of downtime for rest and reflection, and to connect with the other like-minded souls on the same journey.
The Space
This elegant Château is nothing short of stunning. Surrounded by vast 15 acres of private grounds perfect for roaming, reflecting, or lying in the grass with a journal, it’s your sanctuary for the week. Inside, you’ll find:
Luxurious en-suite bedrooms, decorated to the highest standard
A gym and small spa including sauna and steam room
An outdoor pool if we are lucky with the sun
Entertainment: enjoy playing pool, poker, foosball, Pétanque, tennis, trampolining, classic board games.
Local & flea markets
High-speed WiFi, but we encourage you to unplug as much as possible
