Slow Winter, Big Connection for
3 months in a 12th-Century Castle

Join us this February-April 2026 for a 3-month opportunity to swap frantic schedules for crackling fireplaces, deep work, and deep connections in a cozy château that will transform into a family coliving sanctuary, nestled on a nature reserve in Normandy, France.Think: quiet work blocks, fast Wi-Fi, kids learning together—and plenty of community time.
Château Coliving x Cohli partner to invite you and your family to a place to connect, belong, and grow.

A Unique Coliving Experience for Families
Imagine winter designed for closeness - inside a warm and cozy 12th-century château set on 80 acres of a nature reserve that becomes an island in the winter.Your family settles into a steady rhythm of focused work windows, the on-site education program for the kids, and unhurried afternoons together.Evenings pull everyone to the long table to enjoy market cheeses, crêpes, farm cider, and stories by the fire.Children's imaginations run wild in this fairytale setting and build friendships that stick; adults bond through weekly circles, workshops, and shared projects.Weekends stay simple and French: market day in Bayeux, a misty walk at Mont-Saint-Michel, or a quick Paris dash, then back to castle calm before bedtime.This February-April 2026, Cohli invites you to experience a 3 month coliving experience, at Château Coliving, where you’ll find a place that feels like home and where each family member has the space to connect with others, rejuvenate, and experience how supportive it feels to connect with other families who share the same values.
The Cohli Difference: Designed for DepthOur cohorts are small, our rhythm is intentional, and we help carve out time for honest conversation and support. If you’re craving meaningful friendships and not just a shared travel destination, then this is your space.You can expect gentle weekly spaces where we talk about real life, below the surface: connection, boundaries, emotions, parenting, work, learning, and the daily dance of it all.

Community by Design
Our coliving experiences have three core pillars:
how we live, how we eat, and how we grow together.Here's what's included in your experience:
Your Own Family Sanctuary: Every family will enjoy spacious private rooms with a cozy, château-style feel (think tall ceilings and french doors/windows!) to help you feel comfortable and at home, while also providing as workspaces if you wish. Rooms are also equipped with desks and bathrooms.
Common Spaces for Connection: Right outside your door? Several opportunities to connect! With such a big property, there are many shared and quiet spaces for both connection and privacy including dining halls, libraries, living rooms, coworking spaces, a gym, and more.
On-Site Childcare and Education: Forget traditional classrooms. Children of all ages can thrive in our on-site education program. Facilitated by our educators, kids will be able to engage in experiential, project-based learning using the natural surroundings, all alongside their new best friends, while parents are given the space to focus on work or something else. Parents are encouraged to join as much as they want.
Activities for All Ages: there’s something for everyone; explore the big green property to see how many animals you can find; walk on the beach; borrow a book bookshelf; cook the group a meal; relax or have a bubble bath party in a big french tub; stay fit in the on-site gym; spark a bonfire in the outdoor pit. Coworking spaces and private call booths with reliable Wi-Fi make it easy to balance work with family and play. Other activities like meditation, storytelling, shared projects, and group discussions help deepen your connection to each other and the surrounding environment. Families will co-create programming so there's something for everyone and kids will have exploration through additional experiences just for them.
French Culture Immersion: Explore the beauty of the region during the months without many tourists. Markets, sight-seeing, museums, local workshops, and even day / weekend trips to other parts of France and the UK. These experiences let you sink into the winter rhythms of France and bond as a family.
