Stay at IDEAL

We welcome everyone wishing to experience a collective lifestyle. Our daily activities vary depending on the season. We begin the day with a meditation, songs and a meal shared in silence. It is a moment when the members of the community meet before undertaking our different activities. In winter we extend these mornings by studying various topics of interest to our collective life.

You are welcome to sample a wide range of activities during the day depending on your skills, interests and the goals of your visit: cooking, baking, gardening, fruit and vegetable picking, caring for the animals, as well as various projects and activities offered in the context of IDEAL's educational vision. These include wellness techniques to help us improve our physical and psychological well-being, choir classes, theater, dance (paneurythmie) and workshops on topics relating to medicinal plants, astrology and the Tarot. During celebrations and at the time of the twelve first days of the year, residents and visitors share artistic presentations through song, storytelling, poetry and theater. In this friendly atmosphere, everyone's artistic expression is valued.   

Meals are vegetarian and may include fish, seafood, eggs from our free-range chickens and dairy. We offer a drug, alcohol and smoke free environment.  

Since 1993 IDEAL Society welcomed visitors from over 30 countries!
