September 2026

Costumes. Castles. Community.

Come create your legend. 

 

​​What if your life felt like a page from a fairytale, a whispered legend brought to life, or your favorite romantasy novel?

​​

September 2026, escape to a secluded château and step into your own fae-touched tale. Over seven days of creative play, guided portrait sessions, and candlelit castle evenings, you'll co-create dreamy visuals, craft crowns and wings, and inhabit the story only you can tell.

​​

It’s more than a retreat — it’s a week of becoming. 

June 1-8 2026

You've studied French before. You have the vocabulary. You know the basics. But when it's time to actually speak, something happens.

Join us for an intimate week at our Dordogne château where you'll finally bridge the gap between knowing French and confidently speaking it. Practice French at local markets, historic sites, during wine tastings, and over meals prepared by Le Cordon Bleu-trained Chefs. No classroom pressure. Small group. Expert instruction. Judgment-free environment.

Leave speaking French with ease, not just understanding it.

September - October 2026
