Or want to join the annual September hot-air balloon show in the sky of Rocamadour? What about simply profit by a weekend stay to exchange on one’s experience as a gardener or on permaculture? In family, with friends or as a couple, come and live your breath break in Le Rêve, in Occitanie, Lot.

Putting your hands in the soil, taking care of plants, are simple and very effective ways to disconnect from daily life, to recharge one’s batteries. Perhaps you have already experienced this feeling of being “in the flow”, focused on what you are doing, enjoying the moment? We offer you the opportunity to live this experience during a weekend holiday and to share good gardening practices.
If you would like to spend a convivial moment in a beautiful and quiet natural environment, join us for this weekend holiday where soil analysis, tools, water management, seeding and planting will enhance our practical workshops designed for all ages. We will also be able to share on permaculture notions.
And on top of that, we are happy to offer you a bag of compost made on the campsite and a plant for your personal vegetable garden.
Dates* : 10/11 June 2023

Discover the Dordogne river and its surroundings in a gentle way, taking the time to observe nature. Three different modes of locomotion for three complementary points of view: electric bicycle, canoeing and walking. A common point: serenity, calm and the pleasure of discovering the richness of nature by taking the time.
Gaelle, from the green bikes of the Lot, will provide you with the bikes and some explanations to get you familiar with the electric assistance. A very comfortable means of locomotion that allows you to ride for miles by adjusting the effort you wish.
For the canoe trip, you will be accompanied by Patrick, a professional river guide, who will show you the usually unnoticed things and who will reveal some secrets of nature.
Dates* : May 18-21, 2023

We have selected for you some wine estates in Cahors, all converted to organic farming. For a day, we accompany you on these roads to discover the history of this appellation and its grape variety, Malbec, with a gastronomic break at lunchtime.
In addition, to allow you to discover and savour the local products of the Lot, goat cheese and walnut oil, we organize visits of local producers, both located near the campsite.
