A sports retreat led by professional coaches
At Lou Calen, this sports retreat in Provence is based on personalised support provided by professional coaches with varied and innovative approaches. Offering pilates, calisthenics, gentle gymnastics, step aerobics, trampoline, Qi Gong, or Tai Chi: the range of activities allows everyone to create a tailored programme that aligns with their goals.
Depending on your chosen activity, sessions can be geared towards stress management, muscle strengthening, weight loss, or athletic exertion. The guidance of experienced professionals guarantees a tailored, progressive, and safe workout in a natural setting that encourages clear focus of movement.

After coaching, it's time to relax and explore
This sports holiday offers plenty of room for discovery and free time. Half a day will be dedicated to exploring the area by electric bike (included in the package), which is an accessible and enjoyable way to discover the landscapes surrounding Cotignac.
To make the best of these moments in the great outdoors, Lou Calen also offers hiking trails and mountain biking routes, readily accessible from the hotel site. The rest of the stay will be at your own pace, according to each person’s desires and energy levels. The hotel’s grass tennis court provides a variety of activities, while the three hectares of natural surroundings naturally encourage you to kick back and get some rest.
Between activities, the hotel’s three heated swimming pools, open from March to November, offer ideal moments for rest and recovery. Massages can also be arranged to aid muscle relaxation and complete this sports holiday in Provence – a truly rewarding experience!
