H. Bien-Hêtre: Harmony, Holism, Haven, Humanity.
At Bien-Hêtre, you’ll find more than just a place to stay: it’s a haven of well-being where nature, body care, and inner balance meet. Nestled in a preserved natural setting, this place invites you to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and find deep equilibrium.
Harmony
The “H” symbolizes balance between body and mind, between nature and humanity. It reminds us that well-being is a whole—a state of inner and outer harmony.
Holism
Every being is a symphony of emotions, energies, and sensations. The “H” reflects this holistic approach to wellness, where every detail matters in the pursuit of balance.
Haven
A refuge, a space to breathe, recharge, and reconnect with oneself—like a sanctuary at the heart of nature.
Humanity
Because well-being is not experienced alone, but through sharing, connection, and meaningful relationships—with oneself and with others.
Thus, the “H” in Bien-Hêtre is an open door to a world of serenity, a breath of fresh air, an anchor, and an invitation to care for oneself—fully and naturally.
A story of passion and transmission
The Bien-Hêtre adventure began in 2018, when Xavier and Laetitia stumbled upon this exceptional place during a stay. Enchanted by the calming energy of the estate, they instantly fell in love. At the time, Laetitia was a thalassotherapy massage therapist in Aquitaine, and Xavier was a landscaper and kinesiologist in Médoc.
Their encounter with Sabrina, the founder of the retreat, marked the beginning of a wonderful friendship and a shared vision: to evolve Bien-Hêtre while preserving its essence.
In August 2019, they took over the management of the domain, committed to turning it into a space for rejuvenation, self-reconnection, and holistic wellness.
In 2024, they fulfilled their vision by officially acquiring the property—becoming the guardians of its spirit and values.
Values rooted in nature and humanity
Bien-Hêtre is built on three core pillars :
Harmony with nature – A preserved environment that invites serenity and letting go.
Care for the body and mind – Massages, energy treatments, and wellness guidance to restore overall balance.
A human and authentic approach – Each stay is designed to offer a unique, personalized, and deeply restorative experience.
An immersive and holistic experience
Whether you’re here for a treatment, a night in an ecolodge, or a full wellness retreat, Bien-Hêtre offers an immersive journey where every detail is crafted to support relaxation, self-reconnection, and inner harmony.
Come and discover a place where time slows down, where silence and nature lead you on a true inner journey.
Bien-Hêtre, a peaceful haven to recenter yourself, recharge, and simply be.
Laetitia & Xavier, two LOVERS OF LIFE AND NATURE, dedicated to SHARING WELL-BEING AND POSITIVE EMOTIONS.
Laetitia Pedan
Massage therapist and co-manager of Bien-Hêtre.
Specialized in hydrotherapy and massage therapy, she refined her expertise over more than 10 years in a private thalassotherapy center, exploring a wide range of massage techniques for a holistic approach to well-being.
Always seeking to deepen her practice, she trained in energy massages and Bach Flowers—methods that allow her to support her clients in their search for physical and emotional balance.
For the past six years, she has been bringing her expertise to Bien-Hêtre, a place she co-manages with passion, driven by the desire to offer a space for renewal and lasting personal growth.
Xavier Pedan
Kinesiologist, former landscaper, and co-manager of Bien-Hêtre. His background combines a deep understanding of the body and movement with a close connection to nature.
Originally trained in landscaping, he developed a special sensitivity to the environment and its impact on well-being. This perspective naturally led him to kinesiology—a discipline aimed at restoring physical and emotional balance by releasing tension in the body.
Thanks to these complementary skills, Xavier offers a holistic approach where listening, movement, and nature are at the heart of the well-being process. Since 2019, he has been co-managing Bien-Hêtre with passion alongside Laetitia, ensuring the place evolves while preserving its unique energy and deep connection to nature.
