About us
Meet the owners
The current owners, Gary and Fran from Sussex, having retired from the public service industry after 30 years and are now realising their lifelong ambition of living in rural France, running a traditional French farmhouse with leisure facilities and a fishing lake.
Gary and Fran have two daughters, Sheena and Faye, who are currently studying and working in the UK. The girls travel out and visit their parents whenever they are able and assist in the running of Natures Retreat when they are there. Gary, a keen fisherman, and Fran, a lover of all things French, are continuing to build on their vision of making Natures
Retreat an even more desirable location for family holidays.
Owners quote: ‘We are so happy many of our past guests have chosen to return and have re-booked again to come back this year or next. We are so looking forward to seeing them again and looking forward to welcoming new visitors to NR in the coming seasons’.
Natures Retreat offers the opportunity to get away from life's daily routine and to enjoy the experience of a special carp fishing holiday, soaking up the French country way of life, whilst carp fishing in France.
This family friendly French carp lake offers the keen angler a chance to catch some French carp, whilst having the whole family enjoy themselves too. We offer carp fishing holidays in France with luxury accommodation. Natures Retreat is a special place that remains a haven for wildlife.
Our aim is for everyone who stays at our beautiful French country farmhouse and carp lake, to have an enjoyable, relaxing holiday with family and friends and to return home totally refreshed with many happy memories- and plans to return back to Natures Retreat in the future!
