Retreat Locations: Le Hameau de l'étoile in the South of France, near Montpellier
- Location:
Some Men’s Hearts retreats take place just 30 minutes from Montpellier, 2h15 from Marseille, and 2h45 from Toulouse, in the heart of the Hérault region of southern France.
Here, near the Pic Saint-Loup mountain, the village of Saint-Martin-de-Londres lies amidst the wild beauty of the Garrigues landscape—where even foxes still roam freely in preserved nature.
- Le Hameau de l'étoile:
Just 30 minutes from Montpellier, the welcoming team of Le Hameau de l’Étoile hosts us in their unique residential center.
Steeped in the history of Languedoc since the 12th century, this large retreat village regularly welcomes seminars, trainings, workshops, and cultural events.
- Accommodation & Meals:
The Hameau offers a wide range of accommodations: from dormitories and bedrooms to wooden chalets and even nomad tents in the warmer season.
A spacious practice hall is available, and when the weather allows, activities can also take place in the many outdoor areas.
With its 20 hectares of wild land bordering the Lamalou river and overlooking the Séranne mountains, the Hameau is a place of both reconnection with nature and a touch of magic.
Meals at the Hameau are healthy, balanced, and seasonal. Fresh local ingredients are used to prepare both Mediterranean specialties and international flavors, making each meal a nourishing and enjoyable experience.

During your free time, you can enjoy the swimming pool, browse the library, explore the spiritual stone labyrinth, or visit the boutique.
