At a time when everything is rushing around and we don't know how to take our time any more, at a time when hyper-connectivity is the adage and we have to juggle multiple schedules, the Pure Nature holiday is an opportunity to put the brakes on our mad rush and favour slowness. Here's an overview of a holiday with a low environmental impact but a high epicurean impact.

Accompanied by a guide/lecturer present throughout your stay, enjoy a variety of outdoor experiences such as hiking and snorkelling from your 4-star boutique hotel. Discover local farms through a visit to a permaculture vineyard and vegetable garden, enriched by amazing tastings (edible flowers, three-coloured wines). Explore the wealth of local flora and fauna with the help of expert guides. Finally, feel the power of a medieval city with many secrets.

Why this trip?
