CHEZ-NOUS

The same care. The same great food. The same inspiring tuition.

Your own space. Your own schedule. Your own photographic focus.

GBP 2300 per person, seven nights.

Watch the video, below, to see what you have to look forward to.

We have created something rather special in our Chez-nous Retreats, welcoming you into our home in rural Burgundy for an immersive week of photograph - or cooking - discussion and, of course, lovely meals. And it’s just you and a friend or partner.

When it comes to the photography part of your holiday, it’s an à la carte menu. If you want to shoot from dawn to dusk, we’ll do that. Or just at dawn and dusk, if you prefer. We can fill all day, every day for you but maybe you’d prefer to spend some time exploring our library of photography (and cookery) books. Or getting lessons and guidance from Niall. Or just walking the quiet lanes through the traditional bocage landscape that surrounds our house and meadow. If you or your travelling companion are more interested in food than photography, Charlotte will spend time sharing her award-winning chocolate-making skills, as well as her patisserie secrets, and visit markets and local producers with you.

We run Chez-nous Retreats year round, between our group ones. The brochures below detail the highlights of each season and are shown with the dates we are open. Please email to confirm availability.

Retreats for foodies and food bloggers

Our Chez-nous Food Retreats do for foodies what our photography ones do for photographers: they give you the space and time to indulge your interests, broaden your skills base and be looked after for a week in the heart of the Burgundy countryside. And if you want to learn a little more about photographing food, we can help with that too. Apart from that side of things, Niall’s roll is principally to take out peelings and not get in the way too much. It’s very much Charlotte’s show - which means it will be a lot of fun. And she’s well-qualified. Not only has she cooked for groups of photographers all over Europe, often having to improvise in challenging circumstances, but she has been a Masterchef competitor and is the recipient of three Great Taste Awards for her chocolate work.
