Retreat organisers

Are you planning a retreat? And are you looking for a place for five to forty participants, in the middle of nature? Where it is still really dark at night, where silence can be overwhelming and where privacy is a given? Then look no further and meet Le Domaine Vert! 

Located in the beautiful Corrèze nature reserve, you can imagine yourself away from the outside world. And yet within a radius of 15km you will find beautiful old villages, a lake and the river Vézère. You can also rent kayaks, go horse riding and supermarkets and a large organic shop with many regional products are nearby! You will also find the Camino de Santiago de Compostela at 30km. 

On the beautiful 9-hectare site, you will find various accommodations for your participants. There is something for everyone:

  • Two houses with a total of seven bedrooms;
  • A yurt;
  • An atmospheric farmhouse suite;
  • A log cabin;
  • Several cosy bedsteads;
  • Three tipi-style tents;
  • Nine camping pitches (for up to 20 people).

The beds come with perfect mattresses. Most of the mattresses are manufactured by Auping in the Netherlands. These mattresses are sustainable and made of 100 per cent recyclable materials.

If participants sleep in shared rooms, you can accommodate 37 people. If participants do not share rooms, there is room for 16 people. 

In addition, on the campsite, spread over nine spots, there is room for up to 20 more people. A participant can therefore choose to bring his/her own tent or caravan.

You will also find on site:

  • Seven hot showers, including two outdoor showers;
  • Seven toilets;
  • An unheated swimming pool (dimensions 4x8m);
  • Wood-fired sauna (optional booking);
  • Wood-fired hot tub for 5-6 people (optional extra);
  • Countless fine sitting areas equipped with chairs, benches or beanbags, for a nice retreat.

On the grounds you will find an old barn transformed into a great workshop space! Our Temple, measuring no less than 120m², is equipped with a good sound system with a mixing desk. There are plenty of meditation cushions and yoga mats available, which can of course be used. In principle, the Temple is not heated, but if necessary we can install a gas heater, in case it is a bit chilly in the morning or evening.

For the food, you can bring your own cook or we can hire a suitable one in consultation with you. A semi-professional rustic French kitchen, with all the necessary equipment, is available. Groups can eat in our hangar, a covered open space with fantastic views.

I, Walter, have a lot of experience in hosting and giving retreats. Therefore, I know what you need to think about and what you need for an unforgettable time for you and your participants. I like to think along with you, feel free to ask me your questions! We are also happy to publish your retreat on our website and/or social media channels, provided it fits within our vision and you appreciate it. 

Practical information and costs:

  • Le Domaine Vert is open for retreats from 1 May to 1 October. For small groups of up to 11 people, we are open all year round. Please bear in mind that the Temple workshop room is basically not heated.
  • From 20 participants onwards, you can hire the entire premises. If your group is smaller, there may be other guests staying on the premises (this will cause little or no inconvenience). You can also choose to pay an extra amount to rent the terrain exclusively for your group.
  • You pay 42.50 euros per person per night for 20 participants or more, and 45 euros per person per night for fewer than 20 participants. This amount does not include food and is independent of the participant’s sleeping accommodation. You can therefore decide whether you want to charge your participants a different price for staying in a house and, for example, on the campsite.
