The bases for our French creative holidays is located in the picturesque village of Misse, France on the southern edge of the Loire.
People come to us from all over the world. We make it easy. We’re happy to offer advice and help you figure out what travel method makes sense for you. We offer free pick-up/drop-off in Saumur or Thouars. Please don’t hesitate to ask if you have questions or want some advice on travel options. Sunday is a travel day. Relax, enjoy, use it as inspiration. Knowing that a relaxing retreat awaits you at Misse. And once we collect you, you won’t have to worry about anything else for a week. As T.S. Eliot famously said: “The journey not the arrival matters.”
Travel In A Nutshell
As we have people joining us from all the over world, we’ve devised a free pick-up/drop-off service that gives you the most options and reflects the recent changes to the flight and train schedules to/from Nantes and Paris. Whether you fly or train ALL pick-ups and drop-offs are at Saumur Railway Station. From Nantes Airport there is a shuttle bus that runs every half-hour between train station and airport and takes 20 minutes. It operates in dedicated lanes so it is rarely affected by traffic.
Trains from CDG airport and central Paris also come to Saumur. Some have a change in St. Pierre des Corps (Tours). Trains from Paris Austerlitz are direct.
Pick-ups & Drop-offs
Other Travel Options
- Take the train to our local regional station Thouars. It is 8 km from the Circle of Misse House, so we can usually easily send someone to collect you. There are limited trains, but if you are in France already and can time it correctly you can get to us quickly and easily from Paris, Tours, Angers, Saumur and other cities via those places. Over the years, more and more participants use this method
- Drive to us. Either bring your own car or rent one. We will send precise directions. We have lots of parking, and if you are driving back to your home, you can buy lots of wine 😉
