☀️June photo dump… so far! The past couple of weeks have been incredible and intense in equal measure but we’ve been having the best time hosting guests, eating incredible food cooked by , meeting new friends and welcoming old friends. 🥰

(And also our first “viral post” 🤯)

Thank you to all the guests, collaborators, and everyone who makes this project possible. We are eternally grateful.

What does it actually take to run a vegan food retreat? 🌱

Well, there are the bits everyone sees: the meals, the cooking classes, the beautifully laid tables, and the time spent eating together.

Then there are the bits they don’t.

The bread run first thing in the morning. Last-minute trips to pick things up. Chopping mountains of vegetables. Washing up. Setting tables. Clearing tables. Wondering if you’ve made enough hummus. Making another batch of hummus anyway. Burning things. Making another batch. 😂

It’s busy, sometimes chaotic, and there are definitely easier ways to spend a week.

But then guests sit down together, new friendships are formed, people discover foods they never thought they’d enjoy, and it all feels SO worth it.

Here’s a little glimpse of what retreat life looks like from our side of the kitchen.

Yesterday’s guests were given a private cocktail-making masterclass by Emily from using local produce which was super cool! The cognac sidecar was our favourite…

Lunch is served! ☀️

This is our new outdoor kitchen that we built over the winter. Our guests enjoyed us cooking lunch for them today and relaxing in the sun away from the pool. They wanted a light lunch as this evening we’re cooking some traditional French classics (veganised, of course!)

On the menu was a tomato and caramelised onion tart, along with a zingy and fresh watermelon, shallot, vegan feta, and basil salad. 🍉

These guests are having all their meals with us, which has sparked some very exciting ideas that are now in the pipeline… 🥳

Day 2 of our vegan culinary retreat 🌱🇫🇷

We started the day with a delicious brunch cooked by - incredible tacos & banana bread with ice cream & an insane chocolate ganache! This set the guests up for a morning of learning about all things
cognac with the brilliant Emily at (& of course the all important tastings!) 🥃

We then took the guests for a lovely picnic at a stunning nearby spot along the river. 🌻

It was back to La Cour de Husson for some pool time, while we helped set up for Ritchie’s 12-course tasting menu! Sat in the courtyard our guests enjoyed such a fantastic evening of food, all cooked by Ritchie and Lauren, using local and seasonal ingredients with dishes including English sushi (plant based of course), Thai green curry ice cream, pickled cucumber sorbet, and so much more! This was accompanied by local wines & Pineau from 🍷

It was such a brilliant day with full bellies and tastebuds tantalised! 🥳🤤

The bar in our local village of Tusson is about a 15 minute cycle ride away, down deserted country lanes. Bring your bikes with you (or walk) and enjoy a relaxing meander through the very quiet country paths.

Once you get into Tusson we have a wonderful tea room & cake shop (), a wood fired pizza place, restaurant, shop, and the great new bar ()! What more could you want?!

This might be our new favourite spot at the gîte… 🌿

Our new outdoor kitchen is finally ready for guests to enjoy! Set in the garden overlooking the pool, it’s the perfect spot for relaxed lunches, lazy afternoons and cosy evenings under the festoon lights.

🍕We’ve added a large BBQ, pizza oven, custom-made cushions in our new signature fabric, and plenty of comfortable seating to make it feel like a true summer retreat.

We can already imagine guests gathering here with a glass of wine while the sun goes down 🌿

We’ve also got a couple of gaps during the summer. If you’re looking for a peaceful holiday in the stunning French countryside, comment “info” and we’ll send you all the details.

This time of year here in Charente is so stunning! The roses are in full bloom and everything looks so lush and green. 😍

The weather is absolutely glorious at the moment, it’s so lovely to serve breakfast and dinner outside to our guests.
