Wow! Such a gold mine to have found! Paula you are an amazing host & chef - everyone just loved everything about the Priory!
The places you introduced us to so we could sketch away, while enjoying the French way of life will stay with us for a long while.
Can’t wait to get back here and run the next one!

Well, what a treat for a relaxing week for both of us.
The quality, variety and flexibility in both the service & the food was simply excellent. The surrounding area was a delight and the trips complimented the whole retreat for painting/drawing and a cycling get away for me.
We loved your place, your food & wonderful hospitality.

“Our group meet up annually and have done for over 20 years and this has been one of the best. The host was amazing!”

Here in Pressigny we are constantly on the lookout for all things Uniquely French and as much as we like the untapped rural beauty of the area we can't help but want to share it with the rest of the world. This is why we would love to encourage writers, creators and volunteers to come taste our corner of the stunning Deux-Sèvres so that you can then help, create or share some of the Uniquely French magic.
