The Brouzils Seminars
The Brouzils Seminars and Workshops in the Vendée
The 2008 series features a writing workshop for those who wish to study with professionals, a memoir-writing project for those with a private tale to tell, and individual retreats for practically anyone with an unmet ambition.
The Brouzils Seminars. A series of fully accredited, limited-term residency programs in rural France intended for serious participants who wish to be mentored by accomplished professionals well away from the familiar surroundings of everyday life.
The Brouzils Seminars and workshops are led by men and women who have demonstrated considerable accomplishment in the areas they teach: Screenwriting, poetry, fiction, journalism and creative non-fiction, documentary films, children's literature, illustration,
memoir and political commentary. This year Harry Stein, Denis Boyles, Joe Kita, Priscilla Turner, Alain Hertoghe and Dominique Torrès are among those who will lead workshops, discussions, seminars and panels.
The Seminars meet in the small, private chateau opposite the village church in Les Brouzils. Some additional courses meet in the early 19th century seminary building in a nearby village. A wide range of accommodations are available. All workshops are accredited for both graduates and undergraduates by our American academic partner, Fort Hays State University.
Location. By rural train, the village is about 30 minutes from Nantes and about an hour from the beautiful beaches of the Vendean coast. TGV trains connect Nantes with Paris and the outside world.
