Philosophy

Little French Retreat, was founded byTamsin Jardinier twelve years ago and is a sanctuary of holistic wellness rooted in personal experience.

Designed for just two guests at a time, this intimate retreat offers a uniquely personalized journey toward well-being and re-imagining your life, blending physical activity, rest, and reflection in a tranquil, natural setting.

Inspired by the principles of Ayurveda, Yoga, and Intuitive Guidance, the retreats provide a space for deep introspection, allowing guests to reassess their current life paths and potentially reset their course for a more focused and fulfilling future. The retreats aim to cleanse and declutter both mind and body through practices such as breath work, postures, sound therapy, intuitive guidance and relaxation techniques. These activities not only enhance physical strength, stamina, and balance but also promote a renewed sense of connection, self-awareness, and confidence.

Central to the experience is Tamsin’s approach to food, which is based on Ayurvedic teachings that view food as medicine for healing. The retreats feature fresh, healthy, vegetarian and non-vegetarian meals prepared from organic, toxin-free, seasonal ingredients. The daily meal schedule includes a hearty brunch, a midday snack, and a light supper, all carefully timed to support optimal digestion and seamlessly integrate with the day’s yoga and wellness activities. Each meal is more than just nourishment; it is an opportunity for guests to gather, savour, and relish the experience together.

Every aspect of the retreat is thoughtfully personalized, with individual consultations ensuring that guests leave with practical knowledge to maintain their well-being long after the retreat has ended. Tamsin herself leads and caters to each retreat, ensuring that her vision of holistic wellness is fully realized in every guest's experience.
