Creative Writing Retreats in Southern France
Spend a week exploring creative writing, developing ideas and finding inspiration in the French countryside.
Hosted by writer and author Simon Constable, the retreats combine practical workshops, discussion and individual sessions with time to explore the beauty of the surrounding area.
There is something special about finding yourself somewhere new, with the space to think, write and see things differently.
Set among the beautiful landscapes and historic villages of the Tarn, the week brings together writing, good food and interesting conversation, with plenty of time to enjoy the surroundings and follow your own interests.
