Much more than an extension of la Grande Boréale

Whether integrated into your stay or experienced at another time, this retreat adapts to your travel style. A sporty walk that highlights the tranquil atmosphere of the region.

Open valleys, inhabited farms and countryside, winding rivers… and above all, the whisper of the fields and the murmur of the countryside, conducive to reflection, which will accompany every pedal stroke throughout the journey.

La Retraite de l’Ouest, It’s about choosing to take your time — and letting the landscape do the rest.
