Tree Climbing and Nature Retreat

Hi, community—I’m Benoît!

A true product of the Auvergne countryside, I spent my childhood in the forests. They watched me grow up, play, explore, and thrive…

Today, I’m a tree-climbing instructor in the summer and a construction worker in the winter.

My personality has been shaped by my experiences and travels. I’m a social, curious, and open-minded person with a genuine concern for environmental issues.

Trees play an important role in my life: I contemplate them, find renewal and solace in them, climb them… and I advocate for a different way of viewing and caring for the forest.

I offer tree-climbing workshops designed as fleeting, suspended moments, set to the rhythm of nature and collective energy. No two workshops are alike: the activities are varied, and the only limits are those of our imagination and the serene space provided by the trees.

I love spontaneity. I love listening to people’s life stories, discovering what drives them, and exploring existential questions. And I simply love sharing simple yet meaningful moments that often become emotional and/or memorable…

So, if you’re on the same wavelength, maybe I’ll see you soon up in the trees...

Come enjoy a unique 6-day, 5-night experience among the trees and in the forest.

A timeless experience during a stay that invites you to climb trees, discover nature from a different perspective, and

rediscover your childlike curiosity and joy.

Here, phones stay on the ground, time slows down, and we live at the forest’s own pace.

Over these six days, you’ll alternate between moments of adventure, relaxation, and togetherness.

The days are filled with tree climbing, hikes, and outdoor activities.

At the end of the day, we gather around the campfire to cook, play, or

gaze at the stars.

Every evening, you’ll have the choice of spending the night in a tent, in

a tree hammock, or right under the stars, for a total immersion

at your own pace.

-Tree climbing and relaxation up high: Rediscover the joy of exploring the treetops and enjoy the tranquility of the canopy

-Hikes: Discover the wilderness of the Forez ridges.

-Sleeping outdoors: tent, hammock, or under the stars—sleep as close to nature as possible.

-Cooking over a campfire: prepare and share healthy meals in a friendly atmosphere.

-Nature crafts: create, explore, and express your creativity using natural materials.

-Swing jumps: An intense experience for those seeking

thrills and the challenge of pushing their limits.

This trip is co-created with the participants: your desires and ideas shape the program so that everyone has an experience that suits them.

The focus is on fun, play, and reconnecting with nature and yourself.

Here, there are no phones, no set schedules, and no constraints—just the joy of playing, climbing, and recharging.

The retreat is open to adults and limited to 12 participants to foster sharing, camaraderie, and a high-quality experience. Whether you come alone, as a couple, or with friends, you’ll find a space here to reconnect with your inner child and with nature.
