For a stimulating, rewarding and enjoyable break, come and join us with like-minded people on one of our residential courses which are held throughout the year.
We feel that Limousin is the ideal location in which to hold courses in France. All of our learning holidays focus on and celebrate the environment in some way.
We are currently offering the following courses:
All course participants and their partners stay at beautiful Vacances Vertes les Belles and course prices include:
- The services of an experienced tutor.
- Materials and tools.
- Evening meals at Vacances Vertes les Belles (one evening meal will be taken at a local restaurant). Wine and aperitifs included.
- Picnic / buffet lunches (e.g. delicious organic salads, bread, locally-made pate, quiches, etc.).
- Hearty breakfasts to set you up for the day.
All food is organic or locally produced / sourced where possible.
Although each course has a daily structure, we can tailor the programme to The interests of our participants - if you have a specific interest we will be more than happy to adapt the course content to suit your needs.
We can host our learning holidays on dates other than those shown below...
