Quilting & Craft Retreats - Workshops
If you are searching for a retreat that provides a real sense of getting away from it all, look no further than Les Cerisiers in beautiful Burgundy, France. Tucked away in the rolling hills of the Charollais, you'll be able to enjoy peace and quiet, fresh, clean air and the company and friendship of fellow crafters.
Our spacious Quilting workshop offers cutting stations, ironing stations and excellent natural lighting. The studio is open for use whenever you want it and has night lighting for all-night sewing and crafting sessions. There is plenty of space outside to sit and sew or just take in the views, and, should you prefer to curl up in an armchair, the living room is also at your disposal.
Our experienced and enthusiastic tutors will be on hand to guide you throughout the week but there will be plenty of time to do your own thing too. Be inspired by the French countryside, the wines and the picturesque villages. Combine your love of quilting, patchwork or other textile crafts with a wonderful French experience.
