For the first of our new Retreats, we’re looking forward to welcoming you to our very own corner of Burgundy in the southern Morvan, right in the heart of France. This is a rolling, traditional landscape of small fields and dense hedgerows, scattered orange-tiled farm buildings and winding green lanes, white cattle and very sleepy villages. It’s our home and the venue for a deep exploration of a landscape that has largely disappeared elsewhere in Europe . We’re in no hurry.

As the countryside changes from summer to autumn colours, we will visit the spots Niall has discovered for the best views of this landscape and go there when the light is at its most flattering. Since Charlotte works meal times around photography, we have no fear about missing out on the light. Misty mornings, too, are possible and if the day is nice, we can have breakfast on location. Evening meals will be taken at our house, Les Saumais, where you have access to a fabulous library of photography books. If the evening is warm, we will eat outside.

You accommodation is a gite in the village, just 1 km away with great views overlooking the bocage landscape. No guarantees it will be warm enough to use the swimming pool, though! For more information, please email us and we’ll set up a call with you.
