Bienvenue, welcome
We are Jean-Louis and Fiona, a French-Australian couple who followed our dream to live in the south of France, here in the beautiful and historic village of Jouques, in Provence.
We’re passionate about slow-living, being creative, hosting like-minded travellers and sharing our knowledge and experience.
We love to make our art workshops and retreats informative and highly enjoyable, as well as to help our guests relax and embrace the local village lifestyle.
We’re now taking enquiries for Summer 2021.
If you're looking for authentic - we know a place . . .
Experience
We offer a considered selection of art experiences, such as our one-day drawing + painting workshop, a four-day drawing + painting retreat, plus our NEW 'Painting with oil-encaustic' retreat. All our retreats include five nights accommodation.
Create
We've transformed an old barn into an inviting studio-gallery - a light, bright space to be creative. Join us for a workshop or retreat and you too could be making art here! You're welcome to come by to view our current collection of work.
Relax
Our ancient stone house sits between two lanes in one of the oldest parts of the village. We have two tastefully renovated guest suites, decorated in Provençal style. The guest kitchen-living room has views over old roof-tops plus there's a guest library - all connected by a magnificent spiral staircase and loads of character!
