A Place to Slow Down

Talbérou is a small retreat nestled in protected woodland above the Lot Valley in southwest France.

Handcrafted using natural building techniques and guided by permaculture principles, the spaces here invite you to reconnect with nature and move at a slower rhythm.

Stay at Talbérou

Choose from handcrafted yurts, a cosy hilltop caravan, or hire the entire retreat for your group.

Life at Talbérou

The days here unfold outdoors.

Soak in the wood-fired hot tub as the valley settles into evening quiet. Cook slowly in the living-roof kitchen surrounded by herbs, or gather around the cob pizza oven as the sun sets across the hills.

Shower beneath the trees in the earthship-style outdoor showers, wander through the gardens, or spend time in the roundhouse — a handcrafted timber space for yoga, music, conversation or simply sitting by the fire.

This is a place designed for slow mornings, shared meals and long evenings under open skies.

Host a Retreat

Talbérou is also available for small group retreats, workshops and gatherings.

With handcrafted spaces, valley views and peaceful woodland surroundings, it offers a unique setting for yoga, breathwork, creative retreats and wellness experiences.

It’s a part of France where life moves gently - perfect for slowing down and soaking up the rhythm of the countryside.
