Château absolument splendide avec piscine, salle de sport et sauna et je me suis immédiatement senti à la maison grâce au généreux accueil de Nico et Chloé. Superbe nourriture végétarienne. Je reviendrai sans hésitation!!

Je suis une ancienne élève de Nico Luce et ses enseignements ont changé ma vie et ma pratique du yoga. Je lui suis profondément reconnaissante. Quelle joie de découvrir le merveilleux lieu qu’ils ont aménagé avec amour pour nous accueillir le temps d’une retraite. Le château est sublime, les jardins d’une beauté à couper le souffle sans oublier la magnifique piscine qui offre un rafraîchissement plus que bienvenu en période estivale. Ce lieu est un havre de paix. La cuisinière Laurence et Chloé nous ont régalé les papilles avec leur cuisine végétarienne inventive, savoureuse et aux origines multiples. C’était un voyage culinaire. Pour ceux et celles qui aiment cuisiner, je vous conseille vivement de prendre des cours de cuisine pendant votre retraite de yoga. Nico, Chloé et leur fils Lukas nous ont accueillies comme si nous faisions partie de la famille. Je suis très heureuse d’avoir trouvé un lieu où je peux revenir chaque année pour me ressourcer. La pratique proposée par Nico est toujours aussi belle, profonde et enrichissante. Il partage avec humilité et passion son savoir et nous amène en douceur et en toute tranquillité dans des espaces insoupçonnés. Il nous conduit à redécouvrir nos potentiels . Je me suis sentie nourrie et choyée dans tous les sens du terme pendant cette semaine et je ne peux que vous encourager à vous offrir ces instants de joie et de sérénité. Ils sont précieux. Merci à toute la famille Luce, à Laurence, au château et aux chats pour avoir rendu ce séjour inoubliable. A très vite ...

I recently completed my Yin Yoga teacher training at this retreat, and it was an absolutely incredible experience. Everything was perfect! The food was incredible, each meal was nourishing, delicious, and prepared with so much care by Laurence. The location is stunning, set in a beautiful chateau with serene, spacious rooms.

Nico Luce was beyond welcoming and kind. His warmth and attention to detail created such a calming and supportive atmosphere. Everything was organized so smoothly.The entire week felt like a perfect balance of learning, self-care, and peace.

I cannot recommend this retreat enough for anyone looking to immerse themselves in yoga and tranquility! I will definitly be back!

Occitania Retreats, Rieucaze, a beautiful location, with stunning views. The chateau is the perfect place to take yourself off to, with beautiful decoration inside and gorgeous grounds . I This is my second visit, first to do my Yin yoga Training with Nico Luce and now this time a retreat with Brent Mackay which exceeded my expectations . On both occasions I have had the most amazing experience, Chloe and Nico are so welcoming and with the most amazing energy .. it feels like you are in a family staying there Laurence who is the most amazing chef, you will never experience food like this anywhere .. it’s made with love. I cannot recommend Occitania highly enough. The Yoga training and the retreats are the best ! I will return again 🙏🧘🏻‍♀️😊

Fantastic instructors, great vegetarian food, beautiful setting, engaging company , very comfortable accommodation and incredibly gracious hosts. I have diabetes and was incredibly touched by Nico/ Chloe/ and Laurence’s ( chef) care and attention to accommodate my dietary restrictions. I hope to be back with my friends next year 100%. After a week of meditation/ yoga/ hiking/ swimming and engaging conversations, I left this place feeling more centered and more committed to my wellbeing

I recommend this place with all my heart. Nico and Chloe has done an amazing job restoring this old castle and turned it into a dream retreat for yoga. My room was absolutely lovely - spacious and charming with fresh big bathroom en-suite .
I love Nico’s style of teaching - starting with pranayama and meditation where the theme for the class is set. I love the deep dive into Eastern philosphy and Nico is so knowledgeable. Always learning something new!
The following vinyasa class is fun and always intelligently structured ,respecting the biomechanics, and my body always feels good at the end of the class.

After class we were spoiled with delicious vegetarian food - so many lovely dishes !
After the morning class and brunch there was free time to enjoy the lovely garden , the swimming pool, jacuzzi or the gym.
One day we rented e-bikes and Chloe took us for a lovely around the surroundings at the foot of the Pyrenees.
Every evening we had a relaxing Yin class followed by another delicious meal.
A week with many lovely memories to cherish.
Dear Nico and Chloe - thank you again for all the love, passion and hard work you have put into this place and I wish you plenty of success. I’ll be back..
