Fresh Juice. French Food. Culture.
​

What Will We Be Doing?

Join us in France for a total health reset and cultural experience in one. Arriving at a custom built home on the serene lake front of Hossegor, we will relax into an afternoon of fresh juices, opening ceremony, introductions and tranquility. The first part of our retreat will be focused on detoxification, self care and personal healing.

The next three days are about learning how to eat well, use gentle exercise and wellness practices to live stronger and healthier lives. Daily yoga and meditation (no experience necessary) will relax our minds and clear our thoughts. We will learn how to connect to our breath to allow healing, anytime, anyplace. We will learn daily detoxification principles such as dry skin brushing, journalling and meal preparation. We will take journeys in to nature, to the lush and rugged pine forest of Les Landes, across the sand dunes, and vast beach front. We will enjoy a luxurious massage & private acupuncture session with Dr. Ariel Jones for total body healing. 

We move into celebration & more pleasure for our next two days as we travel the Basque coast, sampling their food and learning about their rich history and culture! 

​French & Basque Cultural Exploration

The France, Basque and Spanish cultures are all available to us from the Landes region. We will go on explorations to 3 important regions to learn about their heritage, culinary heritage and land. 
​

1. Les Landes - France

This is the Southwest region of France known for its epic sand dunes, pine trees and foie gras. It is the surfing capital of Europe with kilometers of beaches as far as the eye can see. Originally a wetland region, pine trees were planted to make the land solid and livable. Today the region is a dense and forested land bordering a wild ocean. 

The region is known for it assortment of artisanal cheeses, brebis (sheep) in particular, and pastries such as the gateau basque, and clafoutis. 
​

2. Pays Basque - Basque Country (France+Spain)
​

The Basque culture is rich, spanning the French and Spanish boarders. Their food, language and history tells a story of people who lived ocean-side and in the mountains living off of and cultivating the land. Chocolate from Jewish immigrants came to France by the Basque city of Bayonne, known for its fete in the summer time, delicious chocolate and jambon rouge. We will visit the unique architecture in both the cities of Bayonne and Biarritz, as well sample the food from the region and take in the glorious Basque coast. 
​

3. Spain - San Sebastian
​

Join us in San Sebastian for pinxtos! Small, delicately made appetizers piled high and displayed across the length of a bar. You can select your delicacy, enjoy them with friends and a glass of wine! San Sebastian's coast is the perfect replica of a seashell with white sand beaches and beautiful views. This Basque city is known for its beauty.
