Accommodation & Contributions

All accommodation in Plum Village is communal. Most living areas and all rooms are shared to encourage community living and mutual support in our practice. We cannot provide single rooms.

Most beds are single and some in dormitories are bunk beds.

In rented “gites” (guesthouses), there may be the option of a double bed for couples.

Accessibility

We have a few rooms with wheelchair access and a dedicated parking (retreatants need to provide their own wheelchair).

We do recommend that wheelchair users come to Plum Village with a car because of the required commuting between hamlets (Thénac, Loubès-Bernac, and Dieulivol) during the retreats.

We also recommend that retreatants with certain disabilities come with a friend/family who may provide extra support during their stay, because currently our accessible facilities and resources are limited and under development.

To see how we best we can support you, please contact one of the hamlets.

Bedding

Most of the year, outside of the themed retreats, mattresses, pillows, sheets, duvets and covers are provided. In the cooler months, you may wish to bring a sleeping bag or light blanket for extra warmth.

During themed retreats such as the July Summer Opening, when hundreds of retreatants arrive each week, every hamlet may have a different policy. Some hamlets will provide a mattress and a pillow only, others will provide undersheet and pillow covers. Please check with the hamlet you have registered in to know what you need to bring.

Camping

We have rustic camping areas and sometimes on unlevelled ground. Camping is only available in the warmer months of the year from late spring to autumn (mid-March to 1st November).

Please bring your own tent A limited number of tents may be available for rent on a first come first served basis., a foam pad/mat, sleeping bag, pillow and any other items that will make your camping comfortable. On site bathrooms and toilets are available to campers.

Camper Van

There are a few spots for camper vans.

You can park your camper van in the tree-lined parking lot of the hamlet you are staying in. Please note that there are no utility hook-ups to water or electricity.

Commuter

If you choose to come as a “commuter”, you need to find lodgings yourself outside Plum Village and pay for them separately, in addition to the commuter fee you contribute to Plum Village towards retreat expenses (which include the food, the Teachings and all the facilities at Plum Village).

The hamlet you register with can provide a list of local “gites” (guest houses) on request.

Contributions The retreat contributions are calculated in line with current costs in France and contribute to every aspect of your stay and experience with us: accommodation (approx. €25-50/day), full board & refreshments (approx. €15/day), internal transport between our hamlets (€25-50/week), and a “dana” contribution towards the teachings and community.

We are very grateful for your contribution, which helps us maintain and develop the monastery campus, grounds, and facilities, so we can create a healing and peaceful environment for your retreat, and for generations to come. 

Your contribution supports the residential community's international training and service program for young monastics and practitioners, helping us nurture the roots of the living Dharma in the West. 

It is thanks to your support that the monastic community can thrive and share the path of mindfulness practice, both in Plum Village and beyond.

Plum Village monastery is a non-profit charitable organization and registered religious congregation supported by "dana" “Dana” is a Pali and Sanskrit word meaning “donation” or “offering”. For over 2,500 years, the Buddhist monastic community has been sustained through the generous donations of practitioners, rather than by taxes, land, or other accumulated wealth. .

We gratefully accept additional donations to support our monasteries and service projects around the world.  

Retreat contributions vary according to the type of lodging you choose and are per person, per week.

  • Teenagers (13-17) receive a 30% reduction
  • Children receive a 50% reduction
  • There is no charge for children under the age of 6.

* Please register each member of the family, including children of all ages.
