How about a real break? A break from screens, Slack alerts and endless reels. A simple breath of fresh air, 1 hour from Paris, in a country house for rent that smells of wood, toast and silence.
At Oasis House, we've come up with the perfect places to slow down, breathe and get back to basics. Whether you're looking for a wellness retreat near Paris, a screen-free family getaway or a weekend of disconnection in the Paris region, here are 7 concrete ideas to make your digital detox a success and savor the calm you've regained.
1. Digital detox weekend in the Paris region: turn off notifications, reconnect to yourself
The real luxury today is to do nothing. No "ping", no "ding", just birdsong or the crackling of a fire. As soon as you arrive, switch your phone to airplane mode. Or simply leave it at the bottom of your bag.
Our country houses near Paris, nestled less than 1 hour away, are ideal for a nature break without screens. Wifi is available... but totally optional.

2. Screen-free family holidays: a game to (really) get together
You'd be amazed at what a simple board game can unleash: giggles, improbable discussions, almost childlike joy.
All our homes feature wooden games, vintage game boards, and sometimes even ping-pong tables, for a joyful digital detox, connected only to others.
3. Screen-free nature activities: the best stress-reliever just 1 hour from Paris
All you have to do is take a walk to feel the tension ease. A morning stroll in the fields, a wild gathering or a wood fire at sunset... Our homes offer you a nature break in the Ile-de-France, far from everything. These simple moments are the heart of a truly successful weekend away from it all.
4. Digital detox and yoga: a wellness retreat near Paris
Imagine a large room bathed in light, a few mats, and a Yin yoga session at dawn. The body relaxes, and so does the mind. Our homes regularly host wellness retreats just 1 hour from Paris. But you can also improvise your own, with friends or family.

5. Cooking together: the screen goes blank, the stoves come on
Nothing brings people together like cooking together. Peeling, cutting, simmering. Our open-plan kitchens are bright and warm, ready for those long-awaited aperitifs or grandma's gratins. A stay without screens is also about sharing simple, authentic moments around a table.
6. Reading, journaling, writing: refocusing away from the digital world
Sometimes a notebook is enough. Write down what you're feeling, jot down what you're dreaming or read a novel in one go. Each house has its own reading corner, inspiring bookshelves and atmospheres conducive to introspection.
7. Get a good night's sleep: stay screen-free, get a good night's sleep
Goodbye blue screens. In our rooms, no TV, no noise, just top-of-the-range bedding, soft linen and perfect darkness for sleeping. A weekend of disconnection in the Paris region also means restful nights in a private house, with its own bathroom and view of nature.
🌿 Dare to disconnect less than 1 hour from Paris
Our houses are refuges for the spirit, havens of peace for families, couples or companies in search of meaning. Whether you're looking for a country house to rent 1 hour from Paris, a place for a digital detox, or a slow life weekend with friends and family, The Oasis House opens its doors to you.
