About this program
ReCreatioN Nation is a worldschooling family retreat in the Ardèche mountains of southern France, housed in a beautifully transformed former silk factory. Their mission is to "return the child to the village"—recreating the magic of childhood where kids run free, build dens, chase dreams, and discover the world through imagination rather than screens. The experience is designed as a celebration of family life as it used to be, with a boho-Berlin aesthetic transplanted to a serene French river valley. The team believes that luxury means bare feet on the grass, phones turned off, and the joy of rediscovering the child in all of us. Starting in May 2025, Recreation Nation offers empowering, slow-living adventures for the whole family. It's not just another retreat—it's a carefully curated village experience with bio-cool food, vintage-inspired interiors, and festival-style gatherings.
