Agenda/Contact
Welcome to our website!

We (Ingrid and Willem) are Dutch and are owners of a hotel and houses in the hamlet Chassignolles, a former health resort (cure d’air) because of it’s healthy mountain air, on the Massif Central, in a nature reserve in the French Auvergne.

“Pèlerin” is our qigong retreat-centre, meant for people who want to find their rest in an active way, who want to calm down inside themselves, and who want to learn to strengthen their self-healing forces from within. We will mainly do this by means of zhineng qigong and walking meditation. Dr. Pang Ming and zenboeddist Thich Nhat Hanh are to us a constant source of inspiration.

Thereby we eat in a healthy way, vegetarian/biological, and we have a sauna and Turkish steam bath, a small cinema for interesting lectures or films, a small library, in real silence and beautiful nature. During your one- or two-week stay at our place, we hope that you will enjoy a feeling of home, in our cosy house; an ancient hotel that breathes the atmosphere of the old days. At the front side the square and at the back side the gardens and hills, meadows and forests.
