About Perigord Retreats
What we do
We host painting retreats from our home on the border of the Perigord & Quercy regions of France
We create immersive experiences that will stay in your memory forever.
During your retreat, we take care of everything from the moment you arrive at the train station until the moment we drop you off at the train station. Our retreats are curated specifically and uniquely for each group to make sure that you get the most out of your 10 days here. If you like flowers, history, landscapes, or architecture, we take you to the best spots.
You don’t have to worry about anything, just focus on enjoying your experience, creating beautiful paintings & incredible memories.
Every night, you’ll eat locally sourced and deliciously prepared food cooked in-house by Katel (if you don’t believe us, check our reviews đ). Picnic lunches with panoramic views and wine (of course).

Our Story
Katel & I (Harrison Turner) met in early 2016 a few months after Katel had moved here from the west coast and I moved here from the UK. A lucky encounter in a small countryside town between two ‘foreigners’!Â
We both fell in love with the region & its natural beauty. We’re honoured to be able to share it with people like you who can truly appreciate the beauty of the countryside, medieval villages & breathtaking panoramic views overlooking dramatic valleys.
It was a natural fit, Katel does an amazing job in the kitchen and I know the region like the back of my hand. We fill out the rest of our team with a couple of friends and sometimes a bit of help from our family!

Our Approach
What makes us unique is that we’re 100% focused on creating the best experience for our guests. When you’re here, you’re part of the family! That means that we don’t take short cuts. We only buy the best local produce. We deliberately keep our groups on the smaller side, it’s better that way. We have an intimate knowledge of the region and we’re happy to share everything with our guests.
