And now for something a little different… March 6, 2026 3:19 pm

Looking for inspiration, or some ‘me’ time?

This year, from Sunday 19 April to Saturday 25 April, our newest property, FR 193 Chateau du Jonquier, is hosting an exciting writing retreat.

This week long retreat is a fabulous opportunity for any writers looking to take their craft from good to great. You will be guided by two published authors who will share their expertise with you, covering everything from plotting your story, managing the writing process, researching your subject for maximum authenticity and all importantly, finding representation to get your masterpiece out into the wild!

A special rate of £2000 includes transfers, full board at Chateau Jonquier, local wines, tutorials and excursions. Flights not included.

And after the course, why not extend your stay here and take advantage of the five (soon to be seven) thoughtfully renovated bedrooms, luxurious modern bathrooms, fabulous kitchen and wonderful grounds?

Or, try one of our other properties in the area, like FR190 Les Cyprès de Julien, near Goult or FR171 Mas le Jardin Blanc, nr Gordes and invite friends and family to join you? (Or take advantage of all that inspiration, and have a peaceful week writing on your own perhaps?)
