This retreat is set in the peaceful rural landscape of Charente Maritime in South West France.
The retreat complex itself is set on a large elevated plot with beautiful views all around of sunflowers and vines. Despite being in a quiet rural location with nothing but nature sounds around, the centre is still just one hour from the majestic city of Bordeaux and one hour from the Atlantic coast.
