After breakfast, we depart La Rochelle by private coach and travel into the countryside to visit Château de la Roche Courbon.
This morning feels cinematic in the best way. Approaching the château, you’ll see its stone towers and moat rising from the surrounding marshland — a place that feels both grand and quietly intimate.
We enjoy a guided interior tour of the château, moving through lived-in rooms filled with period furnishings, artwork, and family heirlooms. Afterward, there is time to wander the formal French gardens at your own pace — geometric flowerbeds, fountains, reflective pools, and long paths designed for slow walking and wandering thought.
Lunch is a picnic on the château grounds (weather permitting), followed by free time back at the hotel to rest, journal, or simply be still.
In the evening, we gather for a hands-on French cooking class. Together, we prepare a multi-course meal using locally sourced ingredients, learning classic techniques in a relaxed, welcoming setting. Dinner is the meal you’ve created — shared, satisfying, and unhurried.
