Summary

A colorful week in which we experiment with pencils, brushes and linoleum knives and devote ourselves to the creative process with leisure. Sometimes the impressions of the landscape flow into the paper, sometimes playful patterns emerge in the print. In the afternoon there will be time to explore the beautiful corners of the region. Come and experience your creative side!

The company of other lovely women promises interesting exchanges, enjoyment and beautiful moments.

The afternoons are yours!
Explore the region alone or together, visit stores, order a French café, discover the landscape, culture and the 4 lakes of our region. And maybe you'd even like to go on a day trip to Dijon, the capital of Burgundy, as a group?

I will give you useful tips and information on all the possibilities.

This is one of 8 exciting topics on which I offer women's camps. My name is Susanne Hoffmann and my project is called Chrysalide. I live and work in 52360 Celles-en-Bassigny, a small village in the Haute-Marne department. Here I offer all women in midlife the opportunity for an inspiring and relaxing vacation in the French countryside.
The main language during the week is German, depending on the theme and activity, there will of course also be French moments, with translation always guaranteed.

On fixed dates throughout the year, I offer oasis days and women's retreats on specific themes, where 2-3 women share a house and organize their vacation together.
If you prefer to spend your time alone on vacation or the dates don't suit you, some themes can also be booked as individual stays. Just write to me with your preferred dates and interests.

To discover all other themes and dates: go to the homepage and select the country "France >>> "Grand Est".

Arrival and departure day is always Sunday.

Please also take the opportunity for a free introductory meeting via Visio (whatsapp, Teams or zoom). I can answer any questions and we can see together whether my offer is right for you. Feel free to write to me here under "Contact provider" with a suggested date.

The price of 1200 euros quoted here includes a commission from the operator of this website. Therefore, it might be interesting to do some searching.

There is a reduction for 2 participants traveling together (girlfriend, sister, daughter...) and sharing a room. As there are only 5 single rooms, early registration is advisable.

So, and now I'm looking forward to meeting you soon !

A bientôt :-)

Les matinées créatives
On five out of seven days, your creative space opens up (usually) in the morning: with pencils, brushes and lino printing, we immerse ourselves in shapes, colors and little art adventures. You decide whether you want to experiment freely or follow our instructions.

The important thing is not perfection, but the joy of trying things out - and experiencing creativity together in a relaxed atmosphere.

The afternoons belong to you!
Explore the region alone or together, visit stores, order a French café, discover the landscape, culture and the 4 lakes of our region. And maybe you'd even like to take a day trip to Dijon, the capital of Burgundy, as a group?

I will give you useful tips and information on all the possibilities.

Arrival

The easiest way to get there is by car, only 3.5 hours from Saarbrücken and Freiburg, 5 hours from Cologne and Frankfurt, 7 hours from Dortmund and Munich. Just look on google maps : 52360 Celles en Bassigny

Arriving by train is theoretically possible, in practice probably rather complicated. The nearest train station is Culmont / Chalindrey. However, there is a well-functioning carpooling service (blablacar) within France, which works really well!

As we are a family business, we ask for your understanding that we do not offer any driving services.
