Kitchen
Our fully equipped kitchen
The kitchen is where it all happens!
As in all parties, the kitchen is where it all happens! We poured a lot of love in our kitchen when we built it, and chef Aurore continues to facilitate the flow of the magic ingredient with her amazing creations from the heart. For us, the kitchen is also a place of memories, of life affirming conversations we’ve had with our guests. We keep a map here, with coloured pins, reminding us how far and wide they come from.
Since the start of our adventure, we always envisaged sharing our cuisine, in both its senses! So we set it up with a big island in the middle giving us plenty of worktop and two cookers.
Guests have their own fridge
Guests have their own fridge in the kitchen where they can store any snacks or drinks they might have bought elsewhere, and there is a variety of herbal, green and black teas, as well as fresh coffee always available free of charge for guests.
We won’t list the equipment here, as it is extensive. We have pretty much everything you would expect in a kitchen catering for up to 15 people daily, but if you need a particular utensil or piece of kitchen equipment, please ask. There is also a large extendable dining table.
Food cooked right here from scratch
All the food on our retreats is cooked right here from scratch, by our wonderful chef Aurore from produce that comes from the village, the neighbourhood, the region and the country, and yes, sometimes also from abroad, in that order of expanding circles - coffee beans don’t grow in France. And on our retreats you’ll get to experience not just our cuisine, but also the kitchen itself, joining Aurore in an evening cooking session where she shares her conscientious take on many French favourites, both savoury and sweet.
If you are a wellness practitioner organising your retreat with us, your meals will be provided by us, or if you come here in the quieter seasons, you can bring your own chef or indeed cook your own food. You can even organise a French cooking session for your clients.
