An immersion at the heart of the village
Some places feel familiar before you truly know them.
Racines is an invitation to stop there.
Racines is the simplest format for living the Xwévi pause.
For several days, you are welcomed into the village of Kakékanmè. You do not move from place to place. You stay, observe and share.
The stay is organised, framed, but intentionally simple. It leaves room for what cannot be scheduled.
What awaits you
- Welcome on arrival and organised transfer to the village
- Settling into the village (homestay or community accommodation)
- Meals prepared on site with families
- Participation in daily life (cooking, local activities, crafts...)
- Encounters and shared moments with residents
- Discovery of cultural practices and local heritage
- Presence of local guides to facilitate exchanges
The frame is set. The rest is lived.

The moments that cannot be planned
Some of the most memorable moments appear in no programme. They are born from encounters and the context of the moment.
Racines is right for you if:
You feel the need to slow down and reconnect
You are looking for a rare experience, far from standardised formats
You are drawn to meaning, traditions and human connection
What makes the difference
Unlike a classic tour, you do not simply pass through; you stay. That presence changes everything.
This stay asks for:
- Curiosity
- Openness
- And the desire to live differently
