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.
