A retreat house near Paris for creativity, wellbeing and thoughtful gatherings.
Haut Perche, Normandy
There is no fixed curriculum here. The house itself — its rooms, its pace, its distance from the city — does most of the work; what you do with a weekend is yours to shape.
Restore energy through nature, movement and simple pleasures.
Write, draw, think, and make space for new ideas.
Share meals, conversation and memorable weekends.
A historic farmhouse in Le Haut Perche, quietly reimagined.
Some come to move and rest. Some come to make things. Some come to think as a team. There is no single template here — these are starting points, not the whole list.
Wherever the whole group needs to be together
Space for hands-on work, without precious furniture
Long tables, shared meals, and no reason to rush
A slower corner, for whoever needs quiet company
Open ground, an orchard, and a pond just outside
A landscape worth the trip on its own
No car needed — a direct train from Paris puts you in the heart of Le Haut Perche in under two hours, with a short transfer arranged for you at the other end.
Of course, you're welcome to come by your own means.
Bring your own participants; we handle the house. Includes accommodation, catering options, workshop space, gardens and station transfers.
For teams of 6–12. Workshop table, walking meetings, shared meals — a change of scene that changes the thinking.
Four seasons, four different reasons to be here
Apple blossom over the orchard, fresh mornings, La Grange thrown open for the first time since winter.
Long outdoor dinners that run past dark, Le Cercle lit late, the whole house living outside.
Fireplace weekends, the harvest in, mushroom foraging in the Forêt de Bellême nearby.
Reading, writing, stillness — Le Salon and Le Boudoir close in around the fire.
