Le Taillé is a workshop and retreat centre set in the midst of a 250-acre wooded estate in southern Ardèche. In this place which is blessed by nature all buildings are made of wood and stone and the combination of traditional and modern architecture ensures that the structures blend with the natural curves and declivities of the ground. The whole complex fits perfectly into the surrounding natural environment. This auspicious place is conducive to resting and centering, and provides the ideal frame for such activities as martial arts, yoga and artistic pursuits.
