You are invited to join us at Le Vieux Couvent, an artist retreat located in the Lot Region of Southwestern France. This 17 th century former convent is nestled in the rural town of Frayssinet. It offers comfortable lodging, private bathrooms, an art studio, artist library, lush gardens, courtyard, and secluded patios. During your stay you will be pampered by the retreat staff who provide gourmet meals and day trips to local venues for artistic inspiration.

Your creative well is sure to be filled in this majestic region. The area is celebrated for its beautiful countryside, Cahors vineyards, pre-historic cave paintings at Pech Merle and historic villages such as St Cirq Lapopie, Puy-l’Evaque and Rocamadour.  Group excursions provide the opportunity to engage in your favorite creative activities such as plein air painting, photography, or journaling, as well as time to take in the local culture, shop and dine.

While at Le Vieux Couvent you will have time to integrate all that your senses have taken in through independent art making and solitary reflection in the garden. Join in community time during Jeniffer’s creativity workshops & meditation sessions. Lessons are designed to help you clarify your unique vision using your favorite art materials be they paint, pen, or photography.

Come experience presence through creative expression in this renewing holiday. This is your retreat, and you have permission to engage in as much or as little as meets your personal needs. All excursions, workshops and meditation sessions are optional.
