Guides to the Haut-Jura written from Foncine-le-Bas, grouped by theme. Every figure carries its source.
Hosting a retreat
- Sizing a retreat for eight A yoga retreat for eight asks three things of its lodging: room for eight mats at once, a real bed for everyone, and a table where everyone can see everyone.
- The whole house, one group A retreat house taken private means sleeping among your own: one group under the roof, no strangers added to fill the beds.
Detox and silence
- Digital detox: renting a house instead of a programme A digital detox holds better in a rented house than in a supervised programme: nobody confiscates your phone, you put it away yourself.
- Silence at 835 metres, in numbers At night, at 835 m above Foncine-le-Bas, you can hear the silence: an owl, wind in the spruces, often nothing at all.
