The practical details

 

How much does it cost?

A Restore and Revitalise retreat costs €1,500 per person.

Restore and Revitalise retreats are our labour of love, the good feeling is payment enough so we don’t aim to make a profit. We want the retreats to be affordable to as many as possible. To enable us to keep our prices as low as possible, our team members often volunteer their services or receive just token payment.

If you can afford to pay a bit more than the asking price to supplement the cost for someone who can’t afford the full price, we would be very happy for your contribution. If you have a very low income we have a few concessional places so please contact us.

 

What is included?

This includes:

  • Your own room (not shared unless you want to bring a family member, friend or carer), with ensuite bathroom

  • 3 vegetarian meals a day

  • refreshments

  • all classes, activities and therapies

  • pick-up and drop-off at Toulouse airport or train station (within specified times)

  • use of all the facilities

Flights and other travel costs are not included.

Can I bring someone with me?

You are welcome to bring someone with you and even your dog. If we are full, you and your companion will be required to share a room (we have double and twin rooms), as we prioritise people with cancer when allocating rooms.

If your companion would like to share your room and participate in the full programme the cost to them is €1,200. If your companion simply wants to accompany you (and share your room), but does not want to take part in the activities or have treatments the cost is €900.

Space permitting, if you companion would like their own room the cost is €1,500 which includes participation in the full programme.

 

How do I book?

To reserve a place please fill out our booking form. You do not have to pay any money at this stage. We will contact you to confirm your booking and provide further details.

To guarantee you booking we ask that you pay a deposit of 25% of the total retreat cost. The remainder is payable 4 weeks prior to your scheduled arrival.

We understand there is no certainty when you have cancer and that treatment schedules and fitness can quickly change. Should you be unable to travel to Puissentut for health or treatment reasons we will reschedule your booking or, if you prefer, refund your deposit and all other monies paid.

How do I get to Puissentut?

When you arrive in Toulouse we will pick you up free of charge during specified times. If you are unable to arrive during these hours we will arrange a taxi to bring you to Puissentut for an additional cost of €95.
