Close your eyes and imagine...
You arrive in the quiet, historic village of Amboise, France. The morning mist is lifting from the mighty Loire River. You walk along a gravel driveway, lined with trees pointing to a magnificent castle in the distance – the towers, turrets, stone walls and gardens whisper stories of the Renaissance and French royalty in your ear.
You carry a small journal - your sketchbook for the week. You don't feel pressure to “perform” or make art, as it's a bit daunting, yet you find yourself pausing at a parterre, an ornamental flower bed blooming with color. You can't help yourself- you grab your colored pencils and scribble the Spring palette in front of you. You turn to one of your newfound companions and chat about ways you could perhaps use these colors once at home. Your amazed at how in just a short time, you've allow yourself to feel curious again.
This is your invitation to join a Creative Renaissance in the Loire Valley: May 23-30, 2026 — a week-long creative tour crafted for women like you seeking beauty, art, history, connection, and gentle creative awakening.

Not just for artists. Whether you’ve never held a paintbrush or you’ve dabbled for years, you’re welcome. This creative tours is for curious souls, not for perfection.
History, gardens, and castle dreams. We’ll wander among historic châteaux, roam storied gardens, immerse in art and architecture, and steep ourselves in the romance of French culture.
