Three nights of rest & relaxation, punctuated by pilates, yoga & massage. Add in morning walks through the vines & afternoons beside the pool while Chef Oliver Pagini prepares delicious seasonal feasts for a post pilates brunch, afternoon snacks & dinner. What could be better preparation for the summer ahead than a wellness retreat in the beautiful French countryside?

An informal & relaxed three days, with optional trips out if you fancy it. The bar will be open, after all, a glass of wine can help the digestion, but the focus is on quiet & calm, stretching & strengthening your mind, body and soul.

ARRIVAL ON MONDAY AFTERNOON

Afternoon arrival at Rigaud for a guilt free afternoon tea. Time to unpack & unwind before a gentle evening yoga class on the lawns. Perhaps a dip in the pool then change for canapés & dinner.

Tuesday

Start the morning with a ginger and turmeric shot before a group walk through the vines. Pilates in the garden before a hearty brunch then the rest of the day is your own to hang out by the pool, or find a quiet corner to read a book. We plan an afternoon trip to St Emilion before tea, yoga and diner.

Wednesday

Essentially a repeat of the day before. You could book your complimentary massage for the early afternoon or join a trip to a local village and antiques hangar, or just catch some sunshine vitamins while you swim. Another healthy teatime bake will precede evening yoga before dinner.

THURSDAY

A final pilates class on the chateau lawns, earlier this morning, to allow for breakfast before check out at 11am
