‘It's a girl thing’.
A weekend away, to please yourself, unwind with friends and let someone else take care of you.
We understand how hectic modern living can be. A ‘kit and kaboodle’ break at La Cour Cachée gives you the chance to escape for a few days and recharge the batteries.
All transport during your stay is provided including collection and drop-off at the airport.
A morning of shopping in the fabulous port of La Rochelle.
An afternoon of pampering beauty treatments followed by an evening meal at a riverside restaurant.
Eat delicious, freshly prepared organic meals in our spacious, comfortable barn conversion or, weather permitting, in our candlelit courtyard.
Enjoy a glass of champagne in our hydrotherapy massage jacuzzi, or relax with some music in the open air mezzanine lounge above.
Laughing with friends is the best tonic…
