Sept 13-19 A Bibliophile's Castle Escape
For a blissful week, lose yourself in favorite books and fairytales while enjoying soul-warming meals using local Dordogne flavours. Between chapters, wander with us through the charming streets of Brantome and Perigueux, where bookshops await your discovery. In our little corner of the French countryside, we've created a literary haven where the tranquility of rural France meets exceptional cuisine and cultural discoveries - a perfect escape for those who treasure books and authentic experiences.

Nov 8 - 15 A Writer's Castle Escape

Time to Write.
We'll take care of everything else.

Three meals a day prepared for you & maximum five other writers. We'll bring your coffee or tea (and maybe a little pastry, too) right to your desk in your private room, if you'd like.

Come and wander the French countryside to let the ideas percolate. Chat to other writers, relax in front of the fire over aperos in the evening, or keep on writing.

​

Ditch the distractions, leave the daily details to us.
