Let yourself be seduced
There’s nothing better than combining work and leisure in a perfect balance, and that’s the promise of a workation. As I write these lines, I am enjoying a workation myself in Laroquebrou, a charming village in the Cantal department, in the heart of France. There is a tranquillity and seclusion here that allows you to concentrate fully on your own projects without being distracted by the tourist hustle and bustle. At the same time, you’ll find everything you could want for a vacation here: a huge reservoir, mountains for hiking, waterfalls for adventure and horses for riding. From the terrace of our house you have a wonderful view of the course of the Cère river and can hear the soothing croaking of the frogs. I would like to tempt you to do just such a workation and I am curious to see if I succeed!
Increase focus and productivity
In Laroquebrou, away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, it is easier for me to concentrate on my professional tasks. The change of workplace brings a fresh perspective that allows for creative solutions to professional challenges. Without the constant distractions of everyday office life, I can focus on my work and increase my productivity.
Nature and recreation
Laroquebrou offers the perfect setting for spending more time in nature. This small, medieval town lies on the banks of the Cère, surrounded by rolling hills, a branching reservoir and endless forests and fields. Whether hiking through the idyllic countryside, walking along the river or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings, nature has a calming effect on body and mind. This connection to nature helps me to de-stress and re-energize, which not only benefits my wellbeing but also my work performance.
Better self-care – that’s possible in a workation
Here in Laroquebrou, I can take better care of myself. Our historic stable building “La Source” on the riverbank, opposite the restored ruins of Laroquebrou Castle, is a perfect retreat. The flexibility to organize my day according to my needs means that I can take enough breaks and find time for activities that are good for me. Whether it’s yoga in the morning, a walk in the afternoon, a running routine through the hills where I carefully but daily build up my fitness, or simply a good book in the evening – I’ve created a routine that supports my health and well-being.
State-of-the-art working conditions – you’ll find them with us
Even though Laroquebrou is a sleepy, medieval town, our house offers all the modern conveniences you need for your work. Thanks to fiber optic internet, I can easily hold all my online workshops and lectures. This fast and reliable connection allows me to stay in touch with the world and fulfill my professional obligations seamlessly.
Flexibility and freedom
A workation gives you the freedom to move your workplace to where you feel most comfortable. This flexibility is particularly beneficial if you work in creative professions or regularly need new ideas and perspectives. You can adapt your environment to your current projects and needs, which helps you work more effectively while enjoying your life.
Consideration: Plan your own workation
To experience the benefits of a workation for yourself, plan your own! Think about where you want to travel and how you can integrate your working day into this new environment. Create a plan that takes into account both work and leisure activities.
Questions you should ask yourself:
- Which places inspire you and help you to work productively?
- How can you adapt your daily routine to accommodate both work and rest?
- What activities can you plan to promote your well-being?
