Petite Plein Air Art Retreat near Normandy, May 13-18 2025

We are excited to welcome our artists to an enriching and compact version of our legendary art retreats! Hosted in a genuine 18th century Château in the Normandy region, this is the perfect château-based art experience where you can devote time to your painting in a distraction-free environment. Find your inspiration from the daily painting locations while getting to know your fellow artists in highly creative surroundings.

The cost includes accommodation in a shared room, food on the estate (breakfast, lunch and dinner), grab-and-go lunch ingredients if painting off the estate, entrances, and ground transportation. A group lunch out and a group dinner out are paid at our guest's own expense and are optional. Our pick-up point is the Rouen train station. The estate is about 1 1/2 hour from Paris and 2 hours from Normandy.  

The itinerary includes a visit to Auvers-sur-Oise, Giverny, and more in the Northern Normandy region.

The purpose of the art retreat is to make art in distraction-free aesthetic surroundings! You'll find camaraderie, connections, motivation, and above all, inspiration as an artist.

Suitable for artists of all levels and all media, from fearless beginners to painting professionals. Non-painting partners are welcome and there is plenty for them to do.

Once registered, we'll be in touch with all the details to help you arrive prepared.
