France: Work out (gently) at this Riviera boot camp

Boot camp on the Cote d’Azur? Yes, but it’s more frill than drill at La Reserve Ramatuelle on the French Riviera. The resort, near St. Tropez, offers five days of early-morning yoga, fast-paced morning walks in the hills, spa treatments (balneotherapy, body wrap, jet shower and more) and, of course, meals. Healthful fare is prepared by a chef who uses local ingredients and flavors.

Dates: Sept. 18-23 and Oct. 10-15.

Price: $7,885 for September, $7,161 for October, based on the current exchange rate. The cost is per person, single occupancy. Groups of four to eight people are suggested (so you can bring your friends). The price includes five nights at the resort, all fitness instruction, spa treatments and meals. Five days of boot camp only is $3,906.
