Art Retreats

The Foundation is delighted to now offer its own carefully curated LNAF art and wellness retreats!

This year marks the launch of the “Threshold Art Retreats”: intimate sessions that invite anyone drawn to creative exploration to discover for themselves the profound power of the chateau

What makes these retreats particularly meaningful is their connection to something greater. Each participant directly supports the Foundation’s ongoing mission to provide residencies for emerging and established artists. Your creative week is part of a nearly century-old tradition of nurturing artistic vision.

The picturesque beauty of the French Riviera offers a refreshing perspective on the world to guests seeking a creative retreat. All skill levels are welcome.

Each week combines daily art instruction led by expert instructors with free studio time, as well as optional holistic practices such as rooftop yoga and singing bowl meditation. Activities abound on-site and throughout the region. In addition to the light and colors that inspire creativity, the French Riviera has long been a destination for leisure and recreational activities, all just a short walk away. Above all, it’s about creating the experience that’s right for you!
