Join us at La Bichurie in Feugères, Normandie - a tranquil, countryside retreat venue located in the Regional Nature Park of Cotentin and Bessin Marshes, and just 20 minutes from the west coast of Normandie with its stunning beaches and coastal walks. This beautifully renovated 17th-century country house sits on 5 acres of organic land with its private gardens, further surrounded by farm fields with no local neighbours. It has 6 double bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, a large studio space, an orchard, a terrace with BBQ and outside dining furniture.
Absolutely all singing abilities are welcome on our small group retreats. Our singing retreat holidays are about sharing the joys and many benefits of finding your voice, singing together - and most importantly singing from the heart. Keeping our retreat groups intentionally small enables us to personalise the focus of our daily retreat sessions to the needs and requirements of the group.
Our small group retreats allow us to personalize our daily retreat sessions to the group's needs and requirements. We will have singing, meditation, mantra chanting, and yoga and relaxation sessions for all abilities to relax and strengthen the connection between body, mind and breath, and optional holistic well-being therapies such as reiki and well-being massage. You will have plenty of time to rest, relax, and enjoy the beauty of the Normandy countryside. There are beautiful woodland walks straight from the front door.
During your singing retreat holiday, you will have the pleasure of enjoying delicious home-cooked meals that are prepared with love and served during our shared group mealtimes every day. Our menu features a variety of mouth-watering dishes influenced by various cuisines from around the world, made using fresh seasonal ingredients that are locally sourced whenever possible. You can expect to indulge in slow-cooked fragrant curries, classic French dishes, homemade cakes and more. Our experienced cook, Ema, has been preparing meals for groups and retreats for years, and her recipes have been published in several publications. She was featured as a regular contributor (and winner) of The Guardian Readers' Recipe Swap (under the name DeToutCoeurLimousin). Currently, she is working on a cookbook that will feature some of the most popular recipes from our retreats. You can also find many of Ema's recipes on our HeartSong Normandie blog.
We have been running singing retreat holidays in France for over 25 years, both in retreat centres and our own venues. You can read more about one of our previous singing and meditation retreats (before our move to Normandie) that was featured in a retreat special in The Guardian.
You can read more about us and what our previous guests have said about us and our retreats on our testimonials page. We are so grateful that we have so many regular and loyal guests, many of whom have become good friends and have been attending our events for over 25 years!
For any more information about our singing retreat holidays in France please get in touch and we will be happy to help. We look forward to singing with you soon.
