Seeking a place with reliable internet, a nearby supermarket, and a charmingly unspoiled ambiance? Whether it’s for your workation or a team building event, we offer the perfect blend of nature and connectivity. Our aim is not only to act sustainably in the long term, but also to operate in a regenerative manner. We invite you to join us in this endeavour.
YOU HAVE FOUND THE PLACE FOR YOUR WORKATION OR TEAM EVENT!
Located in the heart of France, on the southern slopes of the Auvergne volcanic mountains, you’ll find the Cantal department, known as France’s water source. Nestled on the banks of the Cère River, just on the outskirts of Cantal, is the charming medieval town of Laroquebrou.
Right by the riverbank, across from the restored Laroquebrou Castle ruins, stands our historic stable building, lovingly named ‚La Source.‘
At home in Hamburg and Berlin – and always in the Cantal at heart. On the road a lot as a coach and facilitator and always with the parents in Cantal.

Activities & Inspiration
Hiking and kayaking
Savoir Vivre
In our house you can combine your workation or team building with activities in nature. There is an e-bike hire service in the village, so you can get to the reservoir, the waterfall or the farmers‘ market in no time at all.
Hiking directly at the house or in the Volcanic Mountains
There are great hiking trails right in the village and in less than an hour the volcanic mountains of the Cantal with their wonderful green mountains invite you to hike and the rivers and various waterfalls invite you to swim.
On and by the water
Just the other way, the Dordogne is the perfect river for kayaking and canoeing.
If you want to gather your thoughts while fishing, you can get a permit at the mayor’s office on the other side of the river and start right at the house.
And if you just want to use our SUP in peace and quiet, you can do so on the nearby reservoir…
I would like to thank you and your team from the bottom of my heart for the unforgettable speaker retreat in France. Your professional organisation and the warm atmosphere made this experience something very special. „Nicely locked up“ has a whole new meaning. The secluded – enchanting environment helped the group to become a close-knit and supportive community.

Have a Question?
Talk to the host
Laroquebrou is surrounded by hiking trails through fields and enchanted forests, past raging rivers and waterfalls. Recently, there is also an e-bike rental service in the village.
Bars in the village
During the whole year 2 bars are open, a third one opens only in July / August.
The Bar Tabac offers lunch in summer, the 107 snacks and dinner most evenings.
Sight Seeing
Nearby Salers captivates its visitors with the rough charm of an old Auvergnat town and lots of arts and crafts. Beaulieu, on the other hand, enchants – as its name suggests – with grace, beauty and the Dordogne, which surrounds the town on one side.
Adventure
The caves of Padriac cast a spell over you and you can hardly tear yourself away from this subterranean beauty. Here you can feel what secrets our earth – apart from the beautiful surface – hides…
The lake and its beaches
Nearby is a reservoir with three beaches. The nearest is that of Renac. There you can also rent motorboats (in summer, we recommend you take a motorboat out on the lake!), SUPs and pedal boats.
More water
There are countless waterfalls in the area. From the Gorges des Jordannes to the Gorges de la Cére and all those in the Aubrag. You will find the one you like best!
Biking & Hiking
Of course, this little French village also has a bike rental! And even one with e-bikes. And you can go far with it, and with great pleasure.
Day Trips
Our recommendation is the Cantal valleys in the mountains, which are about 1h away. If you plan your coffee stop in Mandailles, you can’t go wrong and you won’t be disappointed by the beauty of the landscape.
