The Offline Getaway in France | 5-Day Digital Detox Retreat 🇫🇷☀️🌳 | 20-25 May
Spend five magical days offline, away from the daily hustle and never-ending digital distractions. Relax, slow down, recharge, and enjoy the things that actually matter to you. And all that with an inspiring group of like-minded people.
👉🏼 What you get:
5 nights on a beautiful permaculture farm in the midst of the French countryside.
Healthy breakfast, lunch and dinner prepared by chef Sandra.
The freedom to do what you want, when you want. No pressure. No expectations.
The opportunity for nature walks, a daily guided meditation / silent walk, reflection & creative activities, a dip in the pool, and optional visits to the nearby lake, river, or local food market in Eymet.
Plenty of space to be alone, in the company of others.
No phones, no wake-up alarms, no to-do’s, no distractions.
👉🏼 Program and Activities:
Screw timetables and meetings - our lives are too busy already! The power of this retreat is that there is no program, so you can do whatever, whenever:
Wake up with a fresh croissant, read a book by the pool, journal in the hammock, take an easy countryside stroll, or just be. Of course, we will bring plenty offline activities to keep you busy, like arts, crafts & painting supplies, reflection prompts, board games, outdoor games, puzzles and more.
At night, gather around the dinner table or campfire and have conversations with the others, but only if you feel like it.
Arrival: Thursday, May 20, 16:00
Departure: Tuesday, May 25, 10:00
*Please note that all activities are optional and unplanned - they arise spontaneously and are often initiated by guests themselves (which is beautiful!). Visits outside of the farm, e.g. to the local food market, may come at a small additional costs for transport if no cars are available.
👉🏼 The Location:
Wake up to the sound of nature at Simply Canvas Farm, a beautiful permaculture farm in Saint-Jean-de-Duras, surrounded by sunflower fields and rolling hills. 🌳
The farm is very spacious with three houses, eight luxury safari tents, a swimming pool, a food forest, hammocks, a campfire place, a calming yoga & meditation barn, and a cozy area for shared dinners.
You can choose a bedroom to yourself, or share one with someone else (two single beds).

👉🏼 The Group:
16-20 like-minded people, all with the same intention: five days of rest and time for themselves, open to connect and socialize when they feel like it.
Anyone is welcome: all ages, men and women, and from any cultural background. During past editions, we’ve welcomed both men and women, ages ranging between 23 and 68, from Slovakia to England and from The Netherlands to the United States. All warm, open and fun. ❤️
👉🏼 The Hosts
Our Digital Detox Retreat in France is a special collaboration between The Offline Club and Sandra and Santi from Simply Canvas Farm.
In 2024, we hosted our first 5-day Offline Getaway together, and it was a match made in heaven.
Your hosts will be Sandra (53) and Santi (48), two (incredibly inspiring) former monastics who own and care for Simply Canvas Farm, and a community host from The Offline Club.
👉🏼 What about your phone?
Detoxing from social media and endless notifications is one of the main benefits of The Offline Getaway.
It allows you to refocus, reflect, rest and open your mind to new ideas, and creativity. Therefore, we take your phone upon arrival and lock it up safely.
Of course, we can be reached by your friends and family for emergencies.
