The idea

You imagine the programme, we take care of the rest

Running a retreat means giving your full attention to your participants. Yet the practicalities soon take over: finding a venue, planning meals, coordinating providers, preparing the welcome. At Domaine Majorelle, we are shaping turnkey stays for organisers: a house just for your group, in the heart of the Normandy countryside, and a team that looks after everything else.

Wellness, yoga, creativity, personal development, writing… each retreat can take a different form, in step with the seasons.

Which retreat?

Retreat ideas the estate is happy to host

These are examples, not fixed formulas: your programme stays yours.

Yoga & movement

Morning practice in the living room or garden when the weather allows, walks, rest periods.

Writing

Small-group workshops, long stretches of silence, readings aloud by the fireplace.

Creativity

Drawing, collage, watercolour, crafts: a calm, bright house to create in.

Personal development

Workshops, group coaching, time for reflection away from everyday life.

Wellness & cosy retreats

Rest, reading, forest walks, slow meals: the rhythm of the countryside.

Silence & digital detox

A weekend without screens, set by meals and walks.
