Retreats at Ferme de Candeloup
We run a number of organised retreats each year featuring leading instructors in Yoga, Pilates, Chi Ball, Qigong, T’ai Chi and Shiatsu. These retreats are suitable for adults of all ages whether you are a complete novice or a versed student and you can take part in as many or as little of the classes as you like. We have lots of return visitors to the retreats, which we believe is the best form of recommendation you can get. Here are a few comments from past participants:
All of our organised retreats are fully catered and include:
Breakfast – cereals, fruit, yogurt, bread, croissants, home-made preserves, juice, coffee and various teas Lunch and evening meal – fresh, home-made, health conscious meals cooked with local, seasonal produce.
We are more than happy to cater for any special dietary requirements, as long as we are notified ahead of time.

Retreat spaces
There are a number of spaces at Ferme de Candeloup that have been designed specifically for the retreats.
We have a, fully equipped yoga studio with floor to ceiling fold back doors providing the most amazing views of the surrounding vineyards and the Pyrenees beyond.
The studio allows instructors to comfortably teach students. It can be open to the kitchen and dining area for a light, spacious feel or partitioned off for more privacy.
The following yoga equipment is provided:
• Mats• Blocks
• Cushions
• Blankets
• Chi Balls
• Bands
Directly in front of the studio, we also have a wooden deck, which is perfect for teaching outside. Students get to enjoy their class in the fresh air, with the aroma of French lavender that skirts the decking and views of the Pyrenees that will make your spirits soar. If it’s an early morning class, you might even be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of a wild deer grazing.
The studio and deck provide versatile space that can be utilised for a variety of retreats, not just Yoga and Pilates. Art, photographic and creative writing students couldn’t fail to be inspired by the stunning scenery and mountain landscape.
In addition to the spaces already described, Ferme de Candeloup’s garden provides many a shady spot to paint under.
The dining area can also be used for more classroom style teaching with flip charts provided and a large table that can seat up to >insert number
The Pyrenees has much to offer walkers, cyclists, canoeing and kayak enthusiasts too. There are lakes and rivers just a drive from Ferme de Candeloup and cycling and walking routes on the doorstep, with something to suite all abilities.
And when it’s time to relax, the pool is on hand to take a dip in, or laze around with a good book.
