Getting to Chilly Powder by car
From Geneva: Chilly Powder is approx 1.5 hour’s drive from Geneva Airport, making it a convenient option for those flying in and hiring a car. The journey takes you through stunning Alpine scenery on well-maintained roads, with the final stretch winding gently into the heart of Morzine.
From Calais: Driving from Calais is a great choice for families who prefer the comfort and flexibility of their own car. The drive takes approximately 8 to 9 hours and is mostly motorway, with plenty of service stations along the way. Many guests choose to split the journey with an overnight stop, turning the trip into part of the adventure. Once you reach the Alps, the final part of the drive offers beautiful views as you approach Morzine – a perfect way to begin your mountain holiday.
In the winter season ensure your car has winter tyres or snow chains.

Summer in Morzine-Avoriaz
Nestled in the heart of the French Alps, Morzine is a lively mountain town that becomes a summer paradise when the snow melts. As part of the vast Portes du Soleil, one of the world’s largest linked mountain areas, Morzine is a dream for outdoor enthusiasts. From hiking and mountain biking to paragliding, wild swimming, and white-water rafting, there’s no shortage of adventure.
For a more leisurely escape, Morzine’s charming town center is filled with cafés, boutique shops, and traditional Alpine restaurants. Weekly markets and cultural events bring the streets to life, making it as vibrant as it is picturesque.
B&B in Provence
We also run a B&B in Provence - Maison Lou Roucas, a peaceful retreat tucked away in the Luberon region of Provence, in the village of Cabrières D'Aigues. Surrounded by the vineyards and lavender fields of the southern Rhône, it’s the perfect place to unwind and soak up the slower pace of Provençal life.
Explore nearby wine villages, cycle through scenic countryside, or browse the local markets for fresh produce and antiques. With beautifully restored rooms, home-cooked breakfasts, and a relaxed, friendly atmosphere, Lou Roucas offers an authentic taste of southern France.
Francesca also hosts seasonal pottery mindfulness retreats at Lou Roucas – relaxed, creative weeks that combine time in the pottery studio, markets, cookery lessons and vineyard walks.
