Tortue Rouge offer practical courses on a range of topics all relating to the power of plants to heal and improve our well being. Our programme of courses ranges from understanding essential oils to making your own beauty products, from learning to prepare and use tinctures and macerates to making your own therapeutic massage oils and soaps.

 

 

We'll even teach you how to fragrance them. We aim to provide you with a tool kit of information and skills so you can create your own products or just go on to explore your chosen area of interest from a firm foundation.

 

 

All events are held at our glorious retreat – L'Alabrena – in the lovely Val de Nize, an organic paradise in the sunny Midi of Southern France – where you can relax and learn in style. We have our own on site laboratory, and events are relaxed and informal with small groups – generally no more than eight – so everyone gets plenty of attention during practical work.

Come alone or bring a friend or partner to share your very comfortable, en-suite room.
