Nature-Inspired Creative Experiences

In Harmony with Nature

At The Grange, our eco-retreat in the heart of Cantal, Auvergne, nature is more than a setting, it’s part of the experience.
Trees dominate the landscape, breathe life into the forests, and offer their wood as a living material.

Wood speaks and you can feel it: its grain, its warmth, its energy.

If you have a creative spirit and the desire to work with your hands, The Grange invites you to go deeper.

During your stay, take part in our DIY nature workshops: peaceful, mindful sessions where you can create unique wooden objects to bring home as lasting memories of your time here.

Perfect for guests looking for slow living experiences, authentic craftsmanship, or a meaningful way to reconnect with nature.

Our Woodworking Workshops

Craft a Wooden Cutting Board

In this hands-on session, you’ll create a beautiful oak cutting board: a simple, essential item in any kitchen.
You’ll work the wood yourself, patinate it, and mark it with The Grange’s seal, making it truly one-of-a-kind.

Design a Natural Decorative Object 

With nothing more than a piece of wood and your imagination, create a rustic, minimalist decoration, carved, polished, or left raw.
It becomes your own nature talisman, a soulful object to remind you of the peace and simplicity you found here in the French countryside.
