Chilly Powder co-founder, Francesca (a trained chef and pottery enthusiast) hosts immersive retreats at Maison Lou Roucas, her beautifully restored village home in Provence - blending pottery, cuisine, and culture. Whether you're a curious beginner or an experienced potter, this is a retreat for slowing down, creating with your hands, and soaking in the rhythms of village life - hosted with warmth, joy, and a true love for Provence
Maison Lou Roucas is a lovingly restored 200-year-old village house in Cabrières-d’Aigues, Provence. Nestled among vineyards and olive groves, it’s home to Francesca Eyre’s pottery retreats. With cosy rooms, a shaded courtyard, a plunge pool, and rooftop views of the Luberon, it’s a tranquil, character-filled setting to relax, create, and connect.
Francesca’s retreats are not only about ceramics. They are a way to share her village with you: wandering through local markets, cooking and tasting regional dishes, learning snippets of history, discovering secret olive mills, foraging in the countryside, and taking stunning walks among the vines and hills.
