Nutrition

As the Riviera turns golden, our private chef follows the season straight to the market stalls: figs, squash, chestnuts, wild mushrooms, the first citrus and the catch of the day from the Mediterranean.

Her autumn menus are warm, colourful and generous, built around ingredients naturally rich in calcium, protein, vitamin D and magnesium to help nourish your bones from within.

Comforting without ever feeling heavy, every meal is a slow, shared celebration of autumn in the South of France.

 

Pilates

Our daily mat sessions are built around one simple idea: bones grow stronger when they are challenged, with care and precision.

Gemma guides you through progressive, osteoporosis-safe exercises that load the spine and hips intelligently, strengthen the muscles that hold you upright and sharpen the balance that keeps you steady on your feet. You will learn which movements to embrace, how to adapt the ones that worry you, and leave each class feeling taller, steadier and more confident in everything your body can still do.

Reformer Sessions

Twice during your stay, we welcome you to our studio at Port Gallice, on the Cap d'Antibes, for a Reformer Pilates session designed entirely around bone health. With Gemma by your side, the Reformer's spring resistance adds just the right amount of load to build strength, refine your alignment and improve stability, while your body stays fully supported and safe.

A calm and encouraging setting to feel for yourself how rewarding bone-safe strength training can be.

From the old town to the Cape

Spend a morning in Antibes old town, where the covered Provençal market overflows with autumn produce, local olive oil, cheeses and flowers. Then enjoy some free time to explore at your own pace: the ramparts, the narrow lanes, the little galleries and cafés tucked between ochre façades.

On another day, we set off on one of the most beautiful coastal walks of the French Riviera, the path that winds around the Cap d'Antibes between pine-scented coves, crystal-clear water and, on a clear day, sweeping views all the way to the Alps.
