Retreats and residencies
in the Loire Valley

The Château de Candes is a true source of inspiration for artists in search of an extraordinary space. For several years, we have hosted artist residencies in our Street Art Park, where creators from around the world come to express their talent amidst nature. Our residencies offer artists the opportunity to escape the cities and immerse themselves in an environment conducive to reflection, creation, and experimentation.

With its over 12 acre natural park, accommodations, restaurant, and reception rooms, the domain is the ideal setting for large-scale artistic projects. Whether it's painting, sculpture, performance, or visual art, every artist will find here a place conducive to expression.

The Château de Candes is also a place of rejuvenation for those who are looking to reconnect with their body and mind. We organise sporting retreats designed to combine wellness, fitness, and relaxation. Yoga, pilates, and fitness classes are held in our geodesic dome, in the heart of nature, for groups or private sessions.

The Château Spa complements this offer with its heated pools, sauna, Nordic baths, and troglodyte massages, perfect for recovery after physical activity.

The 12 acre of the park, bordered by the Loire à Vélo and the Route de Compostelle, offer endless possibilities for outdoor activities. You can organise or participate in meditation sessions, nature walks, on foot or by bike, or team-building activities while taking advantage of our accommodation, dining, and wellness offers.

Whether you wish to organise an artistic residency or a sports retreat, our team is at your disposal to design a customised programme tailored to your needs and budget. We also offer a catering service with balanced and local menus, to nourish the body while stimulating the mind.
