The expert's opinion
Our dog-friendly trips are designed to be accessible to everyone, regardless of your fitness level. No prior experience is necessary to practice Doga: it's a gentle activity that works your muscles deeply while strengthening the bond with your dog through simple postures, massages, and moments of relaxation. The hikes we offer are just as inclusive. The longest is no more than 10 km, with very little elevation gain, allowing you to fully enjoy the magnificent landscapes of the Cévennes without physical exertion. Whether you're a beginner hiker or simply looking for a soothing activity to share with your dog, our trips adapt to your pace. What do you really need? A mat (which will be provided), a desire to reconnect with nature, and a good dose of kindness towards yourself and your best friend.

Andreea
Certified Doga coach (yes, yoga… with your dog, and it’s as great as it sounds!) Unconditionally in love with nature and animals, I graduated from Sciences Po Paris — but I quickly realized that I preferred downward-facing dogs to election campaigns.
What I love most of all:
- Listen to your stories
- Meet your dogs (and your knowing glances)
- Guiding you to become, you too, a little more like your dogs: present. Grounded. Joyful for no reason. And filled with gratitude for the little things.
If this resonates with you, we're already connected. You can find out more about the stays and Doga on my Instagram account @doga_france
