In a few words
In the heart of unspoiled nature, treat yourself to a serene break in a rejuvenating setting. Between sky and mountains, this retreat combines yoga and Pilates.
Nestled at the foot of impressive vertical cliffs and located on the Princes of Orange route, Orpierre is a true southern village, with its small square shaded by plane and linden trees. The house is situated on the hillside, bathed in sunshine all year round.
An enchanting interlude in the heart of the Hautes-Alpes
At Terrasses du Paradis, time seems to stand still… Nestled in the hills above Orpierre, this haven of peace invites you to slow down, breathe, and listen. Nature radiates around you: hills fragrant with wild thyme and lavender, paths lined with dry stone, and cliffs bathed in sunlight.
From the house, a pleasant walk will take you to the old village, its via ferrata, or even to some secret little spots.
Just a few kilometers away by car, the Méouge gorges open up their pools of clear water and their rocks as smooth as skin — a magical place to swim, dream or simply immerse yourself in wild beauty.
Here, between heaven and earth, everything invites reconnection: to oneself, to the elements, to silence, to the simple joy of being there.

Laetitia has been a dancer and dance teacher since 2004. She enriches her physical practice by training in other somatic practices such as yoga and Feldenkrais. Laetitia discovered Pilates and decided to become a certified Pilates instructor. In 2018, she traveled to Kerala, the birthplace of Hatha yoga, in southern India, to train at the Sivananda Yoga School Ashram and receive her yoga teacher certification. Laetitia has also trained in holistic massage.
I take care of all the logistics of the yoga and pilates stay: preparing delicious homemade brunches and snacks in a cheerful atmosphere, welcoming and attending to the participants, as well as providing advice and walks to discover Orpierre and its surroundings during their free time.
