bordeaux
Nestled in the heart of southwest France, the Bordeaux region is famous for its world-renowned vineyards and the wine varietals they produce. In addition to the city of Bordeaux itself, the Bordeaux region is comprised of medieval and charming villages, including Saint-Émilion, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The region extends to the Atlantic coast, including the 100-meter high Dune du Pilat as well as Cap Ferret, referred to as the “French Hamptons” (don’t miss its oyster shacks!). With just a two hour train ride to Paris and a three hour train ride to San Sebastián, Spain, Bordeaux is perfectly situated for traveling in France or Spain before or after the retreat.
The chateau
Fit & Fly Bordeaux will be held at a 19th-century private chateau in the countryside near Clérac, France. There are 10 bedrooms in the chateau, nearly all with private bathrooms.
The property includes a lake, pool, tennis court, and garden. The chateau’s location near forests and parks is perfect for hiking or an early morning walk.
The chateau is situated approximately a 40-minute drive from Bordeaux and an hour and a half from the Atlantic coast, which works well for day trips in the Bordeaux region.
Please note that the Chateau does not have air conditioning, but due to the time of year of the retreat (late April to early May), it should not be necessary. Also, please note that most bathrooms only have bathtubs and not stand-up showers. Finally, please note that the Chateau is not located within close walking distance to shops or sightseeing. The group will have drivers during planned retreat activities.
fitness classes and excursions
Hannah will lead daily fitness classes, including HIIT, cardio, strength and conditioning, and yoga. With tennis courts at the chateau, guests will have the opportunity to play - and maybe even host their own mini French Open! Guests will enjoy a complimentary massage. Meals at the villa will be prepared by our personal chef Kate Tarratt Cross.
During the retreat there will be various excursions throughout the Bordeaux region, including a day trip to the Atlantic coast to climb the Dune du Pilat and visit Cap Ferret. The group will also enjoy a wine tasting, shopping in the town of Bordeaux, and a visit to UNESCO World Heritage village of Saint-Émilion. .
Fit & Fly Bordeaux builds free time into the schedule to relax and sit by the pool with a book, get a massage, play tennis, or simply hang out in the villa with the other women on the retreat.
