Renaissance of the Soul | Chateau de Gudanes

30 June - 3 July 2023

Sacred Architecture

The Chateau Gudanes has a story to tell, which you'll discover echoes the story of our own rediscovery, excavation and restored brilliance...along with a healthy dose of devotion and dedication.
Sisterhood & Play

The hidden treasure of one’s self reveals itself when we make space for the lost art of play. Make New Friends, Relax, Connection, Wonder, Dance, Restore, Get Surprised...
Nature's Majesty

Connect with the profound story of the Chateau, spend time in nature: light hiking, visiting ancient caves, canoeing, sleeping in the garden, candle lit dinners, secret antiques treasures' hunting and sing at the Sacred Chapel.

You're invited to join us for this truly enchanting experience of a lifetime

When we gift our Self the luxury of time and space for the primal elements of play, place and nature to dance as muse and guide, a magical force unfolds within our outer life and inner world. By doing so, we allow breath to those deeper aspects alive within us for whatever wants to be revealed, while amplifying their potential in our lives exponentially.

I'd LOVE to join!

The Guest Quarters

"We arrange the accommodations so that two, or sometimes three, guests share each room. This does mean that couples or traveling companions share their own bedroom whereas solo travellers will be sharing with a new friend or two. Each guest receives their own double bed or couples share a king size bed. We always carefully consider who we place to share with whom and although the bedrooms are shared the rooms are as large as 70m2 and so they do allow for abundant space and privacy." ~Chateau de Gudanes

Chateau Bathrooms

"At the beginning of 2019 the Château Bathrooms were completely renovated in true 18th Century fashion - with elegant fittings and fixtures, delicate floral wallpaper adorning the walls and sumptuously textured towels that add the perfect finishing touch. There are three bathrooms at the Château each with a shower, toilet and sink. One of these bathrooms also has a bath. In addition to these shared bathrooms there are a further two separate powder rooms, one on the ground floor and another on the first floor." ~Chateau de Gudanes

Chateau Cuisine

"At the Château each new day brings the possibility of a different setting, a different menu and a different dining experience. From leisurely breakfasts, to picnics in the park, formal dinners by candlelight, alfresco dining in the Château Gardens, traditional afternoon tea and evening aperitifs. The Château Culinary Team prepares both traditional French cuisine as well as regional fare inspired by local seasonal produce blended with the Château’s signature botanical and floral influence. Most of the fresh produce that we use in our cooking is grown in the Château Vegetable Gardens and Fruit Orchards. If not, it is carefully chosen at the markets after being cultivated by local growers and producers." ~ Chateau de Gudanes

Chateau de Gudanes, her story...

"The Class I Historic Monument, sharing the same designation as the Palace of Versailles and the Eiffel Tower, was designed by Parisian architect Ange-Jacques Gabriel. Today, Gabriel is considered one of the most famous French architects of the past and is also responsible for other notable architectural works including the Marie Antoinette’s Petit Trianon and Opera House, as well as Place de la Concorde in Paris." ~Chateau de Gudanes
