Welcome to Château de Saint-Germain-des-Prés, our 500-year-old home in Southwest France's Dordogne.

We're Sara & Stephen, creative retreat hosts who believe everyone is more creative than they think.

Our take on château life: hosting art retreats and creative workshops, watching transformations unfold, learning restoration and design for our guests, embracing slow living in rural France, and discovering that creativity is about finding joy in how you approach everything.

You'll see: Behind the scenes of our retreat experiences, the real work of creating magical moments, authentic French culture as we live it, and what happens when people discover their own creativity.

Whether you're curious about château life, drawn to creative exploration, dreaming of France, or just love watching people build something meaningful—welcome.

The perfect pairing of creative journeys and bespoke château experiences.
