It is spring time in the French countryside. We witness the tender awakening of the kitchen garden and the blossoming spring flowers. Join Louis Jansen van Vuuren in the La Creuzette art studio, where the varied creative explorations will focus on diverse interpretations of spring flowers in aquarelle techniques. In parallel to the art course we will focus on cooking with the spring season, kitchen demonstrations illustrating the dishes and produce we use during the program, and wonderful excursions to beautiful places in the french countryside.

Spring has changed to summer and the glorious gardens are in fragrant bloom. The La Creuzette team has orchestrated the opportunity to experience a unique glimpse of a magnificent overview of French traditional and contemporary botanical and architectural design. From the spectacular formal gardens of Vaux-le-Vicomte on the outskirts of Paris to Villandry and Chenonceau in the Loire region, finally arriving in la Creuse and enjoying all that the centre of France has to offer.

Come enjoy the fresh countryside air from several golf courses situated in three different regions: La Creuse, l’Indre, and l’Allier, and all in proximity to the magnificent chateau de La Creuzette. All the courses are renowned for their top condition and the beautiful natural surrounds. During the day, the golfers will enjoy 9- or 18- hole courses with spectacular views and in the evenings, we dine in festivity around La Creuzette’s beguiling dinner tables. There will be a wonderful additional program of excursions for non-golfing guests accompanying their golfing partners.

Geniet die baie spesiale Franse Bastille- feesvieringe en kuier ‘n hond uit ‘n bos saam met Riana. Elke aand is ‘n hoogtepunt om die sierlike feestafels van La Creuzette wanneer tekste en gedigte voorgelees word. Daar word stories en staaltjies vertel en skeppende versugtinge gedeel. Kreatiwiteit en ‘la belle vie’ op sy beste.

Autumn is here and the French countryside starts to change to hues of orange and brown. Bask in the early-Autumn sun with alfresco lunches under the age-old oak trees and enjoy sipping on ice-cold rosé from Provence. What better way to do this than with the exceptional cuisine of well-known chef, Sophia Lindop. We will enjoy hands-on cooking sessions with Sophia in the La Creuzette kitchen, do wine-pairing with exceptional French wines, and visit our local fresh produce market.
