La Fête de la Saint Jean

„On dit que le vieux Baron sautait encore plus haut que les gars du village – Rumour has it that the old baron beat the youngsters in jumping over the bonfire.“

Planning: 

Thursday 18 June to Sunday 21 June 2026

Brief outline: 

June is the month of the Fête de la Saint Jean, when midsummer is celebrated with bonfires and red currant wine. In the old days, the menetriers, the country musicians, played up their wind pipes and all the folk from near and far came and danced and made a very merry time. We’ll follow in the tradition by setting the scene to celebrate those wonderful long summer nights, learning about foods connected with the Saint Jean and preparing a rustic French country dîner. Usually under the stars, weather permitting, and with a little bonfire to demonstrate our jumping skills.

Cost:

1350 EUR, 4 days/ 3 nights, 950 EUR per person when sharing a room (SoleilLune or Etoile), please specify in your enquiry.

This is an all inclusive fee and includes pretty much everything (we hope) you need to have a wonderful time here. 

More specifically, the participation fee includes all cooking classes, day tours and excursions, 3 nights accommodation in one of our tower rooms, 3 dinners (3+ courses including French style gala dinner), 3 lunches and 3 breakfasts, plenty of wine and all that goes along with.

Participation fee does not include any fares to/from the venue on arrival/departure day. Upon your request we are happy to organise a driver who will get you at your own expense from the nearest airport or train station.
