Expression Of Interest: Watercolour Retreat in Loire Valley, France, 2027!

Join us for a slow, creative escape where art, nature and beauty come together in an exceptional château setting in the heart of the Loire Valley.

Guided by Emilie from  House of Hobby, this retreat is designed for those craving creativity, connection and the magic of French countryside living.

• Paint from life, not photos: Learn to sketch and paint flowers directly from real botanicals, gardens, and vineyards, building confidence to create wherever you travel.

• A gentle, beginner-friendly approach: This retreat is designed to help you slow down, let go of perfection, and enjoy the process. No pressure, no experience required, just curiosity and creativity.

• Inspired by place: From château gardens and seasonal blooms to vineyard views and landscapes, each session draws directly from the surroundings, making this a truly immersive experience.

• Learn timeless watercolour techniques: Explore sketching, watercolour florals, soft blending, and expressive marks you can continue using long after the retreat ends.

• A mindful, unforgettable experience: More than an art workshop, this is a chance to reconnect with yourself, notice beauty in the everyday, and make art part of your travel story.
