Creative & Inspiring Journeys with Tiny de Vries
Join me from June 2nd - 6th, 2027 or June 9th - 13th, 2027 for an intimate creative retreat in the South of France.
A chance to dream, create, explore, and slow down. A gathering for dreamers, makers, collectors, and curious souls.
This is an invitation to wander without hurry, immersing yourself in beauty and nature, joining creative sessions, exploring markets, collecting antiques, gathering inspiration, and awakening creativity.
Lovely days to experience the quiet poetry of everyday French life, and the kind of beauty that fills you up and makes you want to create.

This retreat is available on two separate occasions.
Your Days
This retreat is an invitation to slow down and look more closely, to notice the beauty in the light, the colours, and the texture of everyday life in the French countryside.
Together we will wander through local markets, visit vineyards, hunt for brocante treasures and antiques, and spend golden afternoons by the pool.
Woven through the experience are creative sessions with Tiny, where creativity, art, interiors, vintage treasures and craftsmanship come together.
Each day offers space to explore, gather inspiration, and reconnect with your creative spirit.
Creative Sessions
Tiny will gently guide you through your own creative process with a soft, patient, intuitive, and playful approach. You don't need any creative experience, only curiosity.
She will share what inspires her most about France: nature, traditional craftsmanship, flea markets and brocantes, antique textiles, beautiful patterns, hand-dyed linens, collected objects, and the stories they carry.
Our co-host Yvonne, a Swedish stylist and dear friend of Tiny, will guide us through her favorite antique shops, revealing the hidden gems that inspired and furnished her boutique hotel.
Throughout the retreat you will gather inspiration, colours, materials, textures, and memories. From there, Tiny will guide you one by one as you transform those discoveries into your own creative expression.
Gentle, intuitive, open, and without pressure. Moments to observe, to gather, and to create in your own way.
Where You'll Stay
We will be staying in a privately owned Occitan house dating back to 1857, nestled in a charming village overlooking the vineyards.
A beautiful boutique hotel filled with French antiques and a sense of relaxed luxury.
Lovingly restored and decorated by its owner Yvonne, every corner of the house tells a story. Think tall doors, antique linens, marble fireplaces, hand-painted wallpapers, antique beds, sun-drenched terraces, and a pool looking out over the vines.
It is a fairytale place that feels as though you have stepped into the pages of a South of France storybook.
Food & Wine
All meals will be freshly prepared and rooted in the seasons, thoughtfully created by chef Micke.
Together we'll savour farm-to-table flavours, organic local wines with a story to tell, and long conversations beneath the southern sun.
One of the highlights of the week is a visit to the local market with chef Micke, where we'll select seasonal ingredients together before returning to the kitchen to prepare and share a leisurely lunch.
