2 Retreats at Chateau Dumas
One of the special elements of France is its appreciation of beauty. Every day at the chateau I'm taken aback by its beauty – the beauty of the food, the beauty of the conversation, the beauty of the sunset, the beauty of the gardens, the art and architecture. I'm forgetting something...the wine. And the beautiful fashion too!
Spend a week in the French countryside at the magical Chateau Dumas. Located in southwestern France, the chateau is a retreat center for creative workshops.
It's a venue that offers luxury accommodation, delicious food and a wonderful studio space geared towards textile arts.
People come from all over the world to learn from the leading textile artists and share a creative experience with other like-minded souls. You'll meet fellow textile art enthusiasts who share your passion and collaborate in a supportive, welcoming environment.
There are two retreats, with a new teacher each week. Besides enjoying the incredible studio surroundings, we will explore a little. Everyone loves going to the medieval village of Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val for its Sunday market.
Either week will be a wonderful time at this very special place in France.
Join us. Wrap yourself up in Chateau Dumas while you create something special. It is all so magical!
Vintage Linens & Bric-à-Brac - Fabienne, a dealer of vintage items, will pay us a visit at the chateau.
This is a fun event that everyone loves - finding unique items and digging for treasure!



Excursions - Week 1 will go to market day in Toulouse; Week 2 to the ancient city of Albi.
For both weeks we will go to the charming village of Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val!
