Domaine Lescure Retreats

We are Thomas van Praag and Véronique Van Hoye, a Dutch entrepreneur and a Belgian-born lover of all things beautiful. We’re a creative couple whose adventure to restore an abandoned estate in France has turned into a journey of spiritual and personal growth.
We guide people home to Self by integrating the healing power of IFS, nature and beauty.
