ARE THERE TRANSFERS FROM THE AIRPORT AND TRAIN STATION TO THE CHATEAU? WHAT TIME SHOULD I ARRIVE?
We have guests arriving from different countries, with various train station and airports options available, which makes grouping people for a shuttle ultimately restrictive for you. Therefore to allow you to arrive at your own time and convenience, we recommend for you to make your own way to the Chateau via taxi, to arrive between 13.00-15.00. If you arrive earlier, you will be welcomed, although your room may not be ready immediately. If you’d like us to book your taxi transfer on your behalf, we are happy to do so.
WHAT SHOULD I BRING?
Once your reservation is confirmed you will receive a recommended packing list from Immodesty.
WHO IS GOING TO BE THERE?
With her long career as a burlesque star, combined with her work in mind body eating and body wisdom, Immodesty attracts a fabulous tribe of smart, discerning and inspired lady attendees. From professionals to creatives, to those wanting supportive company and encouragement, all will benefit from Immodesty’s curated team and experiences designed to nourish, celebrate, and reconnect with the goddess you are, in an intimate group. In short, you’ll be in good company.
WHY SHOULD I ATTEND THE RETREAT?
This is a lifestyle retreat for women wanting to fully escape and immerse in a French fairytale. You'll have a safe and supportive space to fully step into your joie de vivre and your ‘Ohlala!’. You get to exhale, restore, makeover, refocus, tickle your brain, and be inspired and as glamorous as you wish.
This could be the perfect celebration trip with a friend, a picture-postcard pamper trip just for you, or a time to learn and transform amidst good company. Or perhaps you simply want time to soak up the French way of life, relax and reconnect with yourself in your own film come-to-life. Making treasured memories to last a lifetime is the cherry on the gateaux.
WHAT KIND OF FOOD?
Breakfasts, lunches and dinners are typically fresh French foods, with locally sourced produce. A breakfast buffet includes continental French pastries and preserves, fruit, and a selection of cheese, eggs, and cold meats.
Dinners will be at the chateau for 2 evenings. (Wine and soft drinks are included). We will also be eating at two restaurants known for good food and friendly atmosphere. All meals are included except for one lunch on day of arrival, to allow flexibility for arrival times. Please inform us of dietary requirements or allergies upon booking.
WHAT LANGUAGE ARE WE TALKING?
All instruction will be in English and Immodesty and the team at the Chateau speak both English and French.

CAN I STAY AT THE CHATEAU LONGER THAN THE INCLUDED NIGHTS OF ACCOMMODATION?
Absolutely! We can help you book additional nights at the Chateau before and after the retreat, subject to availability.
WHAT KIND OF MONEY?
Local currency is Euros.
We recommend you bring all the cash you think you will need for your stay, in Euros. There is no ATM or currency exchange at the chateau. The nearest ATM is 5 minutes by car. Currency can be exchanged at the airport, although they generally don’t offer the best exchange rates or commission.
