Pays de la Loire

Between the bocage of the Vendée, the hillsides of Anjou, and the forests of Maine, the Pays de la Loire region offers gentle landscapes with the Atlantic never far away. The region has maintained a vibrant liturgical life, sustained by communities devoted to chant and the rhythm of the offices, in houses often set deep in the countryside less than an hour from major cities.

This page brings together spiritual retreat venues in the Pays de la Loire, continuously kept up to date: type of welcome, length of stay, and the option to come alone, in a group, or as a family.
