Summary

Welcome to the magical Provence for a special fasting hiking week. Experience the true beauty of this unique region in the enchanting, romantic Castel Mouisson on the edge of the Montagnette near Avignon with hikes through picturesque villages with impressive views crowned by Provencal culture. Experience relaxation, peace, joy and the feeling of letting go of everyday life. The beguiling scent of herbs and radiant sunshine will warm your heart and lead you to lightness. The silence of nature on our hikes creates space for new thoughts and a return to your needs. During your fasting week, you abstain from solid food and give your body a time of relief and detoxification. A selection of herbal and fasting teas, juicy lemons, delicious Provence honey, water and fresh ginger will see you through the week. You will also receive a delicious organic juice and a freshly prepared vegetable broth every day to replenish your mineral balance and revitalize you from the inside. In my small groups, you will be guided through your fasting week with warmth and empathy. I will carefully treat any health problems so that you experience your fasting period as an all-round positive experience. Time for individual exchange, relaxation with massages or an energy treatment to clear emotional blockages will enrich your time in beautiful Provence. With this unique program, you can immerse yourself in lightness and give your body and soul a fresh start. Breaking your fast by the sea gives you a particularly peaceful atmosphere in which to take stock and feel the strength you have gained during your week of fasting. The special end to your week of fasting is crowned with a freshly prepared Provençal buffet in the evening. We will say goodbye on the second day with an alkaline breakfast, so that you are then equipped with inner strength and new impulses for the journey home. I look forward to seeing you!

Accommodation

The charming family-run Hotel Castel Mouisson is located on the outskirts of the tranquil village of Barbentane, around 12 km from the gates of Avignon. The hotel has 18 romantically furnished rooms, some with a terrace. The secluded garden offers numerous niches for relaxation. The newly modernized pool is refreshing after a hike or as a place to relax. WLAN is free of charge. The hotel grounds are secure at night and parking is free for drivers. Electric cars can be charged directly at the hotel. Dogs are welcome for an additional fee. My guests receive special conditions when booking the fasting week at the hotel. I am therefore happy to take care of the room reservation!

Catering

When fasting according to Dr. Buchinger, you abstain from solid food for 5 days and instead focus on healthy juices, teas, water and freshly prepared vegetable bouillons that cleanse and revitalize your body. This process allows you to renew yourself from the inside out and rid yourself of harmful toxins. Fresh lemon, ginger, local honey, healing clay, coconut oil for oil pulling and alkaline foot baths are your additional companions during the fasting hiking week. So that you can enjoy the culinary delights of Provence, you will spend the first 1 1/2 days with me and will be spoiled with a delicious build-up menu in the evening after breaking your fast at lunchtime by the sea. You will be provided with a light, alkaline breakfast before your departure on the second day. There is also the option of ordering a return package of provisions

sequence

We start with a first get-together on the evening of arrival with soothing tea and initial important information about the wonderful fasting hiking week. The following morning, we begin our fast together with the Glaubern. A short hike in the afternoon takes you through olive groves and the pretty village of Barbentane with its special cultural assets. From day 2, we welcome the day together on a first short meditative morning walk. The long hikes then take you through enchanting nature with breathtaking cultural features. On your return, you will have time for your relaxation program with self-care, massages, sunbathing by the pool or an optional energy treatment or massage. In the evening, we will enjoy a freshly prepared, delicious fasting broth together. During the day, there is plenty of time for inspiring conversations and letting go of everyday stress. A wonderful excursion to a regional French market and to the sea will enrich your week with picturesque impressions and true joy of the heart. Breaking your fast by the sea offers a special atmosphere for taking stock after the fasting period and letting your soul relax to the sound of the sea The fasting week then ends with a well-earned Provencal alkaline build-up menu on the evening of the first build-up day. With the build-up breakfast on the second build-up day, you will return home physically and mentally strengthened and relieved.

Arrival

Train: There is a direct connection from Frankfurt/Main or more southerly German cities (e.g. Karlsruhe) with the TGV to Avignon without changing trains. Connections with the TGV via Paris are less recommended, as you have to change stations. Other options: TGV to Lyon and from there by rental car. Flights: it is easy to fly to Marseille, from there you can take the TGV to Avignon. If you prefer, you can hire a car at the airport or locally in Avignon. Car rental agencies are located at Avignon TGV station. This sometimes allows for greater flexibility on site. Please contact me for further recommendations.
Car: With regard to the German train, traveling by car offers greater flexibility and can also help you to get into the right mood for long journeys. The French highways are generally easy to drive on. If necessary, you can travel in pairs, which makes a longer route more enjoyable. Once you are there, you are flexible for your own explorations.
