October 8-15 2016
Grab an adventurous friend and join us for this creative retreat...ideal for anyone dreaming of a spectacular week in Provence.
Tucked away in our own spacious country home just outside the hill town of Bonnieux, this special week is designed for those with a hands on spirit...we will be helping with some meal preparation, keeping our own wine stocked and driving the county roads caravan style in our own rental cars.
|
A typical day begins with a warm buffet breakfast served by our local chef, followed by an artful crafting session at the spacious oak farm table. After a seasonal lunch on the terrace we gather up our market bags and drive to nearby villages filled with quaint shops, scenic views and artist's studios. |

Other afternoons find us scoping out local flea and food markets. Dinners are often impromptu in spirit, at restaurants of our own choosing, or simply a pizza (French style!) back at the Bastide.
Classes include collage, beeswax, journal making and repurposed vintage jewelry. |
