A mixed-use development called Les Jardins de St Benoît has opened within a 20-acre (8-hectare) vineyard in the Corbières region of the Languedoc in France.
The estate is an extension of the village of St Laurent de Cabrerisse.
Onsite facilities focus around a central building, which houses a spa, as well as restaurants, a large outdoor swimming pool and sporting facilities. The spa, called Le Retour aux Sources, features six treatment rooms as well as a couples' suite, terraces and a large garden. Natural and organic plant-based ingredients
are used for spa treatments, primarily drawn from organic agriculture, while there is also a herbal tea bar, offering a wide range of gourmet, detox and iced varieties.
Masterminded by French developer Garrigae Resorts, the property also encompasses 171 luxury townhouses and villas which are available to rent or buy.
