Yoga and wellness retreats in a quiet house in South-West France
A venue for yoga teachers, therapists and retreat organisers
Perhaps you lead yoga retreats or workshops in meditation, breathwork, fasting or personal development, and you’re looking for a venue in South-West France that supports your practice: a large, quiet room, single or double bedrooms, a kitchen for whatever diet you choose and nature right on the doorstep. La Maison de Ninette, 10 minutes from Agen, was designed for exactly that.
The practice room
The brightest room in the house, opening onto the garden
The main room of the house is the brightest and most versatile space on the estate, and it opens onto the garden. It hosts the group’s practice, then becomes a space for sharing circles or workshops for the rest of the day.
In the warmer months, practice moves outdoors: onto the grass facing the wooded grounds, beside the lap pool, or along one of the estate’s paths for a walking meditation.

Bedrooms that prolong the calm
A 400 m² house with five bedrooms, each with its own shower room and toilet. Hemp mattresses and individual duvets, limewashed walls, vintage furniture finds. Each bedroom sleeps one or two people in twin beds, which suits participants who don’t know each other. One step-free bedroom is adapted for guests with reduced mobility.
The house sleeps twelve participants, and up to twenty with the two additional gîtes, where the retreat leader can also stay apart from the group.
Kitchen and meals
The fitted kitchen, with its large central island, lets your cook prepare the retreat’s meals: vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free or supervised fasting. The orchard and the farmers’ markets of Lot-et-Garonne supply seasonal fruit and vegetables.
A hundred hectares of meadows, orchards and paths, with no road and no immediate neighbours. Trails for the morning walk, the grounds for an afternoon nap, and the saltwater lap pool, heated in the warmer months, for relaxing. Horse riding and other outdoor activities are available nearby.
Organising a retreat
La Métairie hosts retreats of two to seven nights. You stay in charge of the programme; we look after the house: linen provided, end-of-stay cleaning, Wi-Fi, heating and air conditioning. We prepare a group quote based on the length of stay and the number of participants.
