The Borgogne region of France, full of ripening grapes, ancient castles, meandering rivers, charming towns and world renowned cuisine offers a perfect tableau to “Taste and See” the goodness of nature and the abundance of your own life.
Daily life in France prioritizes savoring each moment, basking in beauty, connecting with the earth and delighting in conversation and companionship. You'll spend the week experiencing the abundant satisfaction and peace that comes with that way of living and gain tools to enrich your own life when you return home. You will root your experience in daily yoga and meditation, enjoy local, market-fresh meals prepared by a professional chef from the region, learn to cook authentic French cuisine, pedal through the local villages, vineyards and forests along the old railway track converted to green way, float above the region in a hot air ballon, lounge by the beautiful salt-water pool, and learn about the wine, cuisine and ancient history of the area.

Accommodations:
This superb 10,000 square foot Chateau built over different periods from the 16th to the 19th century is embellished with a 15 acre park including 10 acres of forest classified as a “protected site”, and a small pond for fishing. From the castle you can enjoy a superb view of the Jura mountains.
A pedestrian and cycle path takes you in 5 minutes to the village
of Cuisery (all shops) from the entrance of the property. Tournus,
gastronomic capital of Southern Burgundy with its Michelin starred
restaurants is only 7 km away.
The place is ideal for jogging, walking, horse riding and cycling
from the Château. The Seille river is a few hundred meters away and
offers a cycle route as well as water activities (canoe rental,
fishing boat, etc.).
.
A complete Wellness area with a gym (weight training and cardio),
sauna and hammam, as well as a massage room (a local masseuse
offers her services on site) are available in the Château.
Travel Details:
US Citizens traveling to France need a current passport. Check the expiration date to make sure that it does not expire within 6 months of your trip. As of 2024, a Visa is also required for entry into the EU. You can apply for that visa HERE.
Flying into to France
The easiest way to reach Chateau Montrevost is to fly to Paris. From there, you have 2 options:
1. Rent a car and drive directly to the Chateau. Driving in France is as easy as driving in the US. The highways are well marked, and Google Maps will take you right to the front door. If you are traveling with another person, you may even find that this is a less expensive option than multiple round trip train tickets. In my opinion, this is the best option since it gives you the most flexibility to tour the countryside during our week at the Chateau.
2. Regular trains run from Paris to Tournus. The price of a one way ticket runs between 40 and 70 Euro, and it takes about 4 hours to transit. If you choose this option, I will help to arrange a taxi for your pick up at the station and transport to the Chateau.
You can purchase train tickets in advance HERE.
Please note that we will not have access to the Chateau until 4pm, so plan your travel and arrival accordingly. Our first gathering will take place at 7pm.
We understand that booking transportation can be daunting! Don't let that stop you from fulfilling a travel dream! Sheila is more than happy to guide you through the travel booking process if you need help. Simply email sheila@seekyoga.com with any questions or concerns.
