What specifically can I expect my week to look like?
Each day will be a little different. We'll provide a varied combination of a couple exploratory classes in photography, sketch booking, yoga and meditation as a way to take in our surroundings. Some days we'll explore the region through a walk in the woods or hunting for mushrooms. Lunch will be shared most days in picnic form and in the evening we'll share dinner and taste new wine on the terrace of our family home. You'll be staying in neighboring town, La Pesse, just a 10 minute drive away. We'll provide safe transportation to any group activities. However, if you're feeling independent - you'll be able to walk to the boulangerie in the morning for croissant, as well as fromagerie, boucherie, etc. Special events include Bastille Day on the 14th which we'll celebrate with locals in the tiniest village, across the valley, Les Bouchoux. We'll watch fireworks alongside them while eating pork chops (did I mentioned it's the best pork ever) and french fries. Mid-week we'll travel an hour and half to the region's wine country, specifically the town of Arbois, for two nights of tastings there and along in the road.
how many people will be joining me?
We're limiting the trip this year to twelve guests. We hope you'll come along and bring your loved ones! Considering there will be five hosts, this will be a truly intimate and personalized experience.
