A unique setting in Provence

A magical place

The setting where we welcome you for CREA-LANGUES courses is unique : a former nineteenth century Cistercian monastery which has been lovingly restored. The domain, its cloister, internal courtyards and garden are places where you will want to both study and relax. This absolutely peaceful setting adds to the pleasure of your stay.

The inspiring setting of Provence

The monastery of Segries is situated in the heart of the "Parc Régional du Verdon", in Moustiers-Ste-Marie, which is classified as one of the most beautiful villages of France. Cobbled path-ways, shady squares, little bridges and waterfalls make this village, which is built right up against the mountainside, particularly picturesque. Founded in the fifth century, Moustiers-Ste-Marie is also celebrated for its famous ceramics.

The surroundings : The monastery is right in the heart of the "Parc Naturel Régional du Verdon", a very picturesque area. Verdon river is renowned for its gorges, the deepest canyons in Europe. The lake of Sainte-Croix, just 10 kms away, is ideal for all sorts of water activities, including canoeing, sailing, wind-surfing and swimming. Riez-la-Romaine, 9 kms away, has a thriving twice-weekly market. Numerous festivals take place in neighbouring towns over the summer months. There are many footpaths and tracks for walking and mountain biking nearby. There are also opportunities to climb and to practise gliding and paragliding

For those who are interested, we propose a wide range of cultural, artistic and sports activities to discover the magnificent region and its heritage.
