A JOURNEY BEYOND BEAUTY.
8 days in China to reconnect with your body, your beauty, your health, and yourself.
Step away from the familiar and enter a world where ancient wisdom, modern innovation, nature, beauty and wellbeing meet.
Les Retraites are intimate journeys through China, personally curated by Coralie Louvet for women who wish to feel beautiful, healthy, rested, inspired and deeply cared for.
A different way to travel.
A different way to receive care.
A different way to return to yourself.
WHY CHINA?
Sometimes, we need to leave our familiar world to find our way back to ourselves.
For almost ten years, China has been part of my life. Through my family, which is partly Chinese, and through years of travelling, learning and experiencing the country from within, China has profoundly influenced the way I understand health, beauty, nature and our relationship with ourselves.
It has challenged me, inspired me and transformed me.
I have discovered a culture where centuries-old traditions continue to coexist with extraordinary innovation; where food, herbs, movement, touch, nature and ritual can all become part of caring for the body.
Les Retraites were born from my desire to share this China with you.
Not simply to visit it, but to experience it.
8 DAYS OF BEAUTY, WELLNESS & DISCOVERY
Each retreat will be carefully curated around the season, destination and experiences available at that moment.
Rather than following a rigid wellness programme, we will move between the energy of the city and the stillness of nature, receiving treatments, discovering traditions, meeting experts and artisans, exploring extraordinary places and allowing time simply to be.
You may experience:
-
BEAUTY
Personalised facial and scalp treatments, botanical skincare, ancestral Chinese beauty rituals, contemporary C-beauty and beauty technologies, hands-on workshops and the creation of your own personalised beauty ritual to continue at home.
-
WELLNESS
Traditional Chinese approaches to wellbeing, Tuina, moxibustion, Gua Sha, bathing rituals, hot springs, 24-hour spas, Qigong and personalised treatments selected according to your needs.
-
NOURISHMENT
Tea ceremonies, seasonal foods, medicinal cuisine, Chinese herbs and markets, alongside a new perspective on how we can nourish ourselves through everyday life.
-
NATURE
Mountains, forests, water, movement and the Five Elements - opportunities to walk, breathe, slow down and reconnect with the natural world.
-
CULTURE
Temples, artisans, local traditions, incense making, beauty workshops and encounters that allow us to experience China beyond the surface.
-
SELF
Morning meditation in a temple, moments of silence, journaling, reflection and intentional rituals woven throughout the journey - creating space to listen, reconnect and perhaps see yourself differently.
ANCIENT WISDOM. MODERN CHINA.
One of the most fascinating aspects of China is its ability to hold both.
During the retreat, we will explore how traditional approaches to beauty and wellbeing continue to evolve alongside some of the world's most exciting modern innovations. Because holistic beauty isn't about choosing between ancient and modern. It's about understanding what each can teach us.
THE FIVE ELEMENTS - Wood. Fire. Earth. Metal. Water.
Rather than simply learning about the Five Elements, we will experience them.
Through forests and movement. Food and nourishment. Water and rest. Breath and stillness. Joy, connection and discovery.
They will quietly accompany us throughout the journey, inviting reflection, grounding & growth.
YOUR OWN RITUAL
You won't leave China with only memories.
Throughout our journey, I will help you observe what makes your body and beauty feel their best: the practices, treatments and rituals that genuinely resonate with you.
Drawing upon my experience in osteopathy, holistic beauty and the practices I have gathered through years of study, we will translate these discoveries into your own personalised beauty and self-care ritual. Something simple and realistic that can become part of your life when you return home.
Because the intention isn't to escape your everyday life. It's to return to it differently.
AN INTIMATE EXPERIENCE
Les Retraites are intentionally created for a small group of women.
Women who are curious. Open-minded. Drawn to holistic beauty, wellbeing, travel and culture.
Women who want to feel healthier, rested and deeply cared for.
Women who may simply need to step outside their routine, reconnect with themselves and make space for something new.
There will be experiences to share - but also space.
OPTIONAL — A DEEPER LOOK AT YOUR HEALTH
For those who wish to go further, an additional personal health day will be available following the retreat.
This optional extension will provide access to a comprehensive health assessment within a modern Chinese hospital or medical facility, conducted by qualified medical professionals, with examinations selected according to individual needs and medical guidance.
A bridge between the retreat’s exploration of holistic beauty, health and wellbeing through ancestral Chinese wisdom, and a deeper understanding of your body through contemporary medicine.
