The perfect pairing of creative journeys and bespoke château experiences.



Our home manor, Château de Saint-Germain-des-Prés, stands as a testament to history, over 500 years old, and offers more than just spacious accommodations – it provides room to breathe, think, and create.




Experience the magic of our intimate retreats, where small groups of 10 or fewer participants gather in the embrace of our historic Château.
We're thrilled to offer a variety of art retreats, including a mixed media painting art retreat, a photo encaustic art retreat, creative adventures for non artists. Come for a week or a weekend, and treat yourself to a magical art retreat for 2025.
With a high ratio of our dedicated host team to attendees – up to 6 supportive team members for every 10 participants – you'll receive personalized attention and guidance every step of the way.




With creative journeys and art retreats tailored to your interests and skill level, you’ll have the opportunity to unleash your creativity in a nurturing environment where authentic connections are made and lifelong memories are created.
Now, you can also craft your own experience by booking Manor & Maker as a cozy bed & breakfast for you and your friends. Whether you’re seeking relaxation or a creative escape, our welcoming home is yours to enjoy, with inspiring surroundings and a chance to bond while exploring your artistic side.
Discover the joy of making, the beauty of the arts, and the magic of a retreat designed around your passions.



Join us and embark on a journey of self-discovery and creative exploration in the timeless charm of our Château and authentic France, where history, culture, and creativity converge to create an unforgettable retreat experience.
