Kate Hill and Relais de Camont: A Retreat for Creatives in the French Countryside

Global Journeys with Jill Dutton

What happens when a barge-dwelling chef with a penchant for adventure stumbles across a hidden gem in the French countryside? Meet Kate Hill, proprietor of Relais de Camont in Gascony, to find out.
Kate shares tales of her life on a barge, and her renovation of Relais de Camont, a 300-year-old farmhouse that became home to her cooking school. In 2022, Kate formally opened the Relais de Camont as a home for creative residents and offers both residency stays and mentored retreats, providing quiet productivity in a serene setting amongst the gardens and canal.
