Ayurvedic Rejuvenation & Yoga Retreat with Daily Massages in the French Countryside

Marianne Durand, who has practiced Ayurveda for over two decades, runs this retreat at her chateau in Cérilly, a few hours south of Paris. The program follows the Purvakarma protocol, a gentler preliminary stage of the traditional Panchakarma detox, adapted for Western bodies. You'll have an individual consultation on the first day to map out your personal treatment plan, then receive one or two Ayurvedic treatments daily, including four full 90-minute body massages over the week.
