Accommodation options

• Maison de Mâitre. This is the main house and where the workshop takes place. The luxurious and spacious bedrooms, each with an en suite bathroom, are furnished with a blend of antique and contemporary furniture and accessories, and have the advantage of being 'on site'.
• L'Espace. This is a newly converted barn on the property. The style is minimalist but very stylish and comfortable and a minute's walk from the maison de mâitre. There are three bedrooms with twin beds (single or shared accommodation), plus a shared sleeping space for four beds. L'Espace has two shared bathrooms and also houses the spacious and light work/dance studio. Breakfast, lunch and supper are served at the maison de mâitre.
• Gites. These are about a ten minutes drive away and transport to and from the maison de mâitre every day is included in the price as is breakfast which will be served there; you will join the others for lunch and supper at the maison de mâitre. The accommodation is more rustic than the maison de mâitre which is reflected in the price, and most bedrooms share a bathroom. This option might suit participants who would like a little more privacy.
• Whilst we make every effort to give you your first choice of accommodation, priority will be given at the maison de mâitre to people who wish to share the double rooms. Allocation of rooms will be confirmed six weeks prior to the workshop.
• Non-residential costs on application.
• Extra nights B&B can be organized at an additional cost.
