[Opgelost] Psychedelic therapy location in France

Because of this strict legislation, legal psilocybin therapy or retreats cannot operate in France. Some clinical research trials exist in hospitals, but these are limited scientific studies and not accessible as therapy programs for the public.

Where people from France usually go

Many French clients travel to countries where psychedelic sessions are legal or tolerated, for example:

1. The Netherlands – legal psychedelic truffles are used in guided sessions and retreats.

2. Jamaica – psilocybin mushrooms are legal and retreats operate openly.

3. Certain retreat centers in Portugal or Spain – sometimes operate in legal grey areas.

Traveling from France to the Netherlands

International visitors typically fly to one of the main Dutch airports. The three most convenient airports are:

Amsterdam Schiphol Airport – the largest airport in the Netherlands with many direct flights from major French cities such as Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Toulouse and Nice. From Schiphol it is easy to travel by train or taxi to many session locations. In this area sessions can be organized with guides such as Marcel, Sascha or Janneke.

Rotterdam The Hague Airport – a smaller airport that can be convenient when sessions take place in the Rotterdam or Schiedam region. From here it is only a short trip to several retreat and session locations. Sessions in this region are often guided by Marcel or Reineke.

Eindhoven Airport – this airport is often used by low cost airlines and can be convenient for people traveling from southern France. It is also the closest airport to locations near Den Bosch, such as De Bedding. In this region sessions can be guided by Ronald or Gijs.

From each of these airports it is easy to continue traveling by train, metro, bus or taxi to the location of the session or to your accommodation.

Many international participants choose to arrive at least one day before their session and stay one night after the experience. This allows time to rest, prepare mentally, and integrate the experience before traveling home.

Another option is to travel by car, depending on where you live in France. For people living in northern France, Belgium or western Germany, driving to the Netherlands can sometimes be faster and more convenient than flying. Cities such as Lille, Paris or Strasbourg are doable by car.

Traveling by car also gives you more flexibility with arrival times and makes it easier to bring personal items that help you feel comfortable during your stay, such as clothing, music, or personal items that contribute to a relaxed setting.

When you come by car, it can be convenient to choose a session location in the southern part of the Netherlands. Several guides offer sessions in this region, including Ronald (Valkenswaard), Gijs (Den Bosch) and Reineke (Maassluis). These locations are often easier to reach by car from France and Belgium and allow visitors to travel without needing to pass through the busiest areas around Amsterdam.
