Vacances en Vie - Le Vieux Couvent Holidays

Choose comfortable accommodation in one of 11 charmingly renovated rooms, many ensuite. We have gathered a folder of accolades for the "holiday of a lifetime" in our ten years experience as an artist’s holiday venue - because of our tutors, our gourmet menus, our guided excursions, and, above all, our attention to details.
Come and see for yourself.

We also specialise in wedding receptions and feasts, taking care of all arrangements from the French civil ceremony to breakfasts, dinners and receptions, provide country inn accommodation for up to 20 guests, and arrange additional rooms. Let us smooth the path for a French country inn wedding.

Come to our setting in rural southwest France and create a memory.
We offer a range of artistic holidays, or you can choose to just be independently indolent (with an occasional gourmet meal al fresco)
