Theme Weeks and Weekends

The Mournet is an ideal location for weekend breaks and retreats. Wonderful organic food, dynamic yoga practice complimented by restorative sessions, Ayurvedic massage, chilling out by the pool, beautiful walks....and much more! It is in the heart of a peaceful and beautiful part of the Ardeche surrounded by chestnut trees, the river Gluyere and amazing wildlife. A wonderful place to sit and contemplate life, the clear night skies, the nature surrounding us and to make the most of this unspoilt region on foot or on wheels.
