Experiences

# Moments to share in the garden

Chef's dinners, wellness sessions, creative workshops: gatherings open to all, which we host ourselves or which you can propose to hold here.

3 experiences

## Our three experiences

### Dining

#### Fine dining comes to La Résidence

La Résidence opens its table to chefs who come to share their cooking, in the garden or indoors. A chef's dinner is an encounter, a story, a culinary journey: an intimate, seated pop-up restaurant.

30

guests at most, around a beautifully laid table

Beninese · African · Mediterranean · Fusion cuisine

### Wellness & Relaxation

#### Recharge in a lush green setting

Yoga, meditation, fitness classes or simply unwinding: small-group sessions in the garden, by its living wall, far from the bustle of the city. We run our own sessions and welcome guest instructors.

15

people at most per session

Yoga · Meditation · Fitness classes

### Creative Workshops

#### Art comes to the garden

Sip & Paint, macramé, pottery: each workshop is an invitation to create, share and discover yourself in a new way. In small groups, led by our hosts or by guest artists.

10 to 15

people per workshop
