It’s like school here, but better! Instead of bells, you hear the rustling of trees and the nearby river. Instead of classrooms, there are lessons in the heart of nature. Forget about boring textbooks. Here, you'll learn about permaculture and biodiversity not from drawings but through living examples.

On the edge of the forest, nestled in the hills of Saint-Jeannet near Nice, lies the non-school Casades Madeleines. Where bees make top-quality honey, and wild birds perch on branches like winged professors. Chickens proudly stroll among the guests. Lunch is a whole garden on your plate! The menu changes depending on what has grown in the beds.

For those seeking harmony of body and spirit, there are extremely relaxing activities! Yoga on the grass, Pilates under the clouds, and meditation by the river. Trying not to fall asleep to that soothing sound is truly a concentration test. And the best part? After these adventures, you can relax on the terrace or in a cozy bed in one of the wooden eco lodges.
