Chateau Dumas is a beautiful 18th century estate with 22 acres of private gardens and pool located in the countryside in southwest France, one hour north of the vibrant city of Toulouse.

The perfect place to learn, relax and be inspired, Chateau Dumas offers lovely accommodation alongside a large, air-conditioned studio equipped with a wide range of materials and equipment. Get in touch with us if you’d like to discuss bringing a group to the Chateau for a private retreat, or join one of our creative residencies and spend a week at the Chateau pursuing your own passion. Our creative residencies are open to anyone interested in learning by themselves and at their own pace. 

Whether you choose to paint, sew, print, dye or knit during your stay with us, you’ll enjoy elegant Chateau accommodation, delicious meals prepared by our private chefs and an excursion to the Sunday morning farmer’s market in a nearby atmospheric medieval town.

We offer transfers from the local train station, Caussade (T&G) with transfers from Toulouse airport also available by arrangement.
