French Floral Retreat 2021: Course overview

This exclusive weekend retreat will take place at the stunning Château de la Ruche – a magical 18th century petit château set in 15 acres of secluded, private parkland and woodland, near Le Mans in the Pays de la Loire region of France.

Floral workshops will take place in and around the breath-taking house and grounds. Attendees will be able to use a wide selection of blooms and foliage and be shown how to forage for materials from the grounds of the chateau. Working in groups and individually, you will be designing foam-free arrangements to dress the house alongside a celebration tablescape for Saturday’s evening dinner.

Jackie, our resident photographer will be documenting your floral journey throughout the weekend and provide you with a collection of photographs of all the work you create. And of course, there will also be plenty of time to relax, unwind, drink a glass of your favourite tipple and watch the world go by as you enjoy the chateau and the wonderful welcome that hosts Tim and Rebecca provide.
