Camino de Santiago Hiking Retreat in southwest France

Would you like to reconnect with nature by walking through the vineyards, woods, sunflower fields, and lush meadows in the south of France?

Follow in the footsteps of hundreds of thousands (over 200,000 in 2018) of people, from all walks of life, who make their way to Santiago de Compostela each year.

For most, this pilgrimage to self-discovery is an unforgettable experience. Only a few return home unchanged.

This retreat is your chance to join them, to reconnect with nature, with yourself, and with others. In addition, you will receive instruction in Walking Meditation and Writing Meditation, to enable you to profoundly relax and recharge your batteries in this largely unspoiled and unexplored corner of France, the country of Dumas' D'Artagnan and the Three Musketeers, and manage stress ever more effectively when you get home.

Everything will be taken care of for you.

You will sleep in the same bed each night, you do not have to carry a heavy backpack with you, and you will eat healthy locally sourced food - all you have to do is concentrate on experiencing everything that walking the Camino has to offer.

You arrive in time for dinner on Day 1, walk the Camino on Days 2, 3, and 4 and leave after breakfast on Day 5.

The easiest way to get here is to fly to Toulouse, take the train to Auch, and visit the glorious cathedral with its exceptional hand-carved choir - the Camino de Santiago goes through Auch and many walkers stop at this famous cathedral. You can check your luggage into temporary storage at the station. When you have had a scrumptious lunch at one of the sidewalk bistros on the square in front of the cathedral, you take the bus to Nogaro, where you'll be picked up and transferred to the retreat. The bus station is right next to the train station.

Or you can rent a car, or take a taxi, and the most entertaining and cheapest way to get here is by getting a lift from the carpooling site, BlaBlaCar(dot)fr.

A warm welcome awaits you at this 200-year-old, authentic Landaise farmhouse amidst the Armagnac and Cotes de Gascogne vineyards in the sun-blessed southwest of France!

Retreats usually start on Saturdays, at 18h00 and end on Wednesdays at 11h00.
