Plant-Based and Vegan Gastronomy Retreats in South West France

Vegan tourism is on the rise worldwide, yet rural France still offers limited options for plant-based travellers. While vegetarian dishes are sometimes available, the distinction between vegetarian and vegan cuisine is significant, and authentic vegan experiences can be hard to find outside major cities. As a result, vegan visitors often miss out on a French culinary experience.

At Rossignols, our plant-based and vegan gastronomy retreats unite like-minded guests and the vegan curious for an immersive French culinary adventure. We partner with local restaurants, artisans, growers, and producers to curate a diverse program of activities—think mushroom foraging, truffle hunting, and wine or Armagnac tastings—that blend learning, fun, and gourmet discovery.

We also host engaging educational retreats, where guests explore global plant-based cuisine, such as Persian vegan cooking, in a supportive and interactive setting. With three dedicated cooking spaces, Rossignols is ideal for both chef-led demonstrations and hands-on workshops.

Guests can also unwind at our vegan wellness and detox retreats, relaxing in tranquil surroundings while enjoying nourishing, whole-food, plant-based meals designed to support health and well-being.

Transitioning to a vegan or whole-food, plant-based diet can be challenging, especially when it comes to ingredient swaps and meal planning. Our retreats make it simple, equipping guests with practical skills and inspiration to create healthy, delicious plant-based meals at home.
