Fontainebleau Art Retreat, May 6-13 2027

Premiere Fontainebleau Art Retreat

May 6-13 2027

Hosted in a genuine 18th century Château, 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 double-occupancy accommodations, meals and wine 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 CDG Airport in Paris.

The estate is about 45 minutes south of Paris.  Your itinerary includes outings to fabulous locations, including Forêt de Fontainebleau and walking in the footsteps of the artists from the Barbizon School of Art.  We will be in the heart of the Barbizon near Fontainebleau, where Naturalism met Impressionism. Bring your camera because you will want to snap references to paint later as you will be truly inspired by your surroundings.

The purpose of the art retreat is to create 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, sketch journalers, photographers, writers, and more. Non-artist companions are welcome and there is plenty for them to do.
