Inside a Vegan Retreat France: Permaculture & Conscious Living at Moulin Scalagrand | Frederique Peutz
In today’s episode, we’ll be talking to Frederique Peutz, a permaculturist and the owner of Moulin Scalagrand, a retreat and permaculture destination nestled in the Lot-et-Garonne region of southwestern France.
Frederique has an inspiring background in gardening and sustainability—she previously ran her own garden center in Italy for two decades before relocating to France in 2017 to pursue a more self-sufficient, plant-based lifestyle. At Moulin Scalagrand, she now offers immersive workshops and retreats focused on permaculture, intuitive cooking, wild foraging, and much more.
In this conversation, Frederique shares what drew her to this beautiful part of the world, how she built her retreat from the ground up, and the philosophies that guide her work today. Whether you're curious about sustainable travel, alternative lifestyles, or simply want to be inspired by someone living closely in tune with nature—you’re going to love this episode.
