Are you looking for a seaside location for a retreat, a session, a parish meeting, an ecumenical gathering or a getaway? Le Lazaret offers a rare setting in Sète: a pine forest overlooking the Mediterranean, where you can meet up, walk, share and enjoy your stay on the same site.
A place for retreat without isolation
A retreat doesn’t have to be cut off from the world to be profound. Above all, it needs the right environment: a place that invites calm, leaves room for speech as well as silence, and enables the group to live together without unnecessary agitation.
At Le Lazaret, the pine forest, the immediate proximity of the sea and life on site create this setting. We can open the day with an inner time, walk for a while, meet for a teaching, a workshop, a reading, a common prayer or a simple breathing time, then return to the group in good conditions.
- Park and seafront for breaks, walks or meditation.
- On-site accommodation and catering to keep up with the pace of the trip.
- Common spaces for celebrating, listening, sharing or deepening.
For what types of meetings?
Le Lazaret doesn’t just cater for one type of group. It is suitable for a wide variety of spiritual and healing formats, provided that the project respects the open vocation of the site.
Parish retreat
For a group of adults, a parish team, a council or a local community wishing to take a step back, pray, reflect and experience a more intense time together.
Bible session or theme
The stay can combine teaching, workshops, discussion groups, personal time and shared meals, in a setting that provides both depth and simplicity.
Ecumenical meeting
Born of a Protestant history, the Lazaret today remains a place of open welcome, conducive to encounters, dialogue and projects that require tact, listening and hospitality.
Resourcing time
A small group can also come for a lighter stay: walking, reading, silence, conversation and catching your breath in soothing surroundings.
Spaces to gather simply
The Lazaret has an oratory and rooms that can be used for prayer, celebrations, readings, workshops or small group meetings. Depending on your project, it’s possible to design your stay with a real alternation between group sessions and more personal time.
The Protestant history of the place is still perceptible, but today the welcome is open to groups of different sensibilities. This openness, combined with the beauty of the site, gives the stay a quality of simplicity that appeals to many groups.
