HeartsEase Painting & Yoga Retreat, South of France, September 2025

Roquebrun, one of our painting locations

Spectacular views, wonderful food, lots of fun with painting and drawing, plus the added benefit of daily yoga

One week,  mid-September 2025 (dates to be confirmed)

At Le Rouzet, Cazouls-les-Béziers, Languedoc, South of France

Le Rouzet is a lovely traditional wine-grower’s house, beautiful and deeply comfortable. It’s got lots of large bright rooms, a heated saltwater pool, a spacious yoga room, a really charming garden, and is quiet and secluded. The couple that run it are wonderful hosts, and extremely good cooks into the bargain!

On top of that the painting locations are extraordinary:  picturesque villages perched on hillsides, dramatic scenary, fantastic mountains, spectacular rivers, gorgeous views and vineyards galore, plus plenty of opportunity to sit in the garden and sketch. Being in the middle of the village of Cazoul-les-Béziers, it’s easy to go and find the local cafés, sample the patisseries, drop into the weekly market or do some shopping.

To give you a little taster of what you are in for, here is the website for Le Rouzet: https://lerouzet.com/

Obviously our prices will be slightly different to the website because our prices include:

1.  All accomodation (single, double or twin, some en-suite, some shared bathroom)

2.  3 meals a day plus wine (7 breakfasts, 6 lunches, 6 dinners)

3.  Aperitifs every evening

4.  Yoga – 2 sessions each day (optional), taught by Kate Pryor*
5.  At least 3 hours painting each day (with tuition) on 5 days, plus optional ‘sharing’ sketchbooks in the evening.

6.  Transport to and from the station or airport
7.  All transport to and from our local painting locations

8.  1 day off – you might like to visit the old medieval town of Béziers, or lounge about next to the swimming pool or in the shade of the olive tree, or go exploring in the town.
You’ll need to pay for one restaurant meal and one picnic lunch – everything else is catered for.
This is going to be a wonderful holiday; by the end of the week you’ll feel both relaxed and refreshed, with a deep sense of wellbeing. We have named our retreat HeartsEase, to reflect the harmony and delight we think you’ll experience.
Cost will be in the region of £1500 – £1900 per person, depending on single, double or twin occupancy and whether en-suite or shared bathroom. There’ll be a maximum of 10 people.

One last thing to know is that there’s no pressure on this retreat – both Yoga and Painting are entirely optional – this is your holiday!

We have already had expressions of interest in this course, so do please let us know as quickly as possible if you are keen to come, in order that we can try and ensure you a place. The easiest way is to email me (info@marianneryan.co.uk), or to phone (07964 262906). I’ll be delighted to get back to you!
