A women’s retreat in France combining beautiful food, wellness, guided walks, gentle movement, spa time and deep rest.
Gers, France · 2026-07-25 – 2026-10-24
Madame Retreats offers elegant, women-only retreats in the French countryside designed around rest, gentle movement and permission to pause.
Set in a beautiful château in southwest France, our 7-day experiences create space to step away from the pace of everyday life and reconnect with yourself. Each retreat blends mindful movement, nourishing food, meaningful conversation and unstructured time to simply be—whether that’s by the pool, walking in nature, or enjoying slow, quiet mornings.
At the heart of Madame Retreats is a soft, supportive atmosphere—no pressure, no performance—just space to breathe, reset, and return to yourself.
It’s not about doing more. It’s about feeling better, more present, and deeply restored.
Perfect for: Rest & relaxation, Community & connection, General mental-health improvement, Burnout recovery
