Join like-minded Christians from the UK and France for a week of sunshine, relaxation, socialising and spiritual refreshment. Enjoy all the resort amenities you need and easy access to nearby beaches and picturesque coastal towns.

In 2022 for the first time we'll be providing French translation on headsets, of the morning and evening meetings. We're expecting a wider mix of guests and an exciting, international atmosphere.

Make the most of the late summer warmth after children have returned to school - enjoy peace around the pool and riotous late night bilingual karaoke!
