Solo Travellers Welcome: Why a Singing Retreat is the Perfect Getaway


Are you dreaming of a holiday on your own, where you can truly relax, meet like-minded people, and enjoy doing something that uplifts your heart and mind? If so, our singing and meditation retreat in Normandy, France, could be just what you are looking for.

At HeartSong Normandie, we warmly welcome solo travellers from all walks of life. Many of our guests arrive alone and leave with new friends, wonderful memories, and feeling inspired to keep singing and meditating long after the retreat ends.


Why Our Singing Retreat is Perfect for Solo Travellers

Friendly and Supportive
Travelling alone can feel daunting, but you will never feel alone here. Our small group size means everyone gets to know each other, and many guests return year after year. It feels more like an extended family than a retreat.


No Experience Needed
You do not have to be an experienced singer. Our retreats are for all abilities — from complete beginners to confident singers. Songs are taught by ear in a relaxed, inclusive way, and there is no need to read music.


Beautiful Location
Wake up to the sound of the sea and breathe in the fresh coastal air. Our beachfront townhouse in Agon Coutainville is a perfect base for a peaceful and inspiring break.


Delicious Home-Cooked Food
Shared meals are at the heart of our retreats. Ema’s seasonal, home-cooked dishes bring everyone together around the table. Many of her recipes are also shared on our HeartSong Normandie Blog.


Safe and Easy Solo Getaway
Normandy is welcoming, peaceful and easy to reach. From the moment you arrive, we're here to help you settle in and feel at home.


Time for Yourself Too
As much as we love singing and connecting as a group, there is plenty of time for you to rest, read, take a walk along the beach, or go for a dip in the sea. You choose the pace that feels right for you.


What Our Solo Guests Say



A *huge* thank you to the pair of you for a week which was, for me, unlike any other! Ema, I'm quite disgusted you're not here to make my tea tonight! It was such a treat to have every delicious meal made. I loved the views, the chat (am a shy old introvert, but it was lovely to meet everyone), the chants (I've never meditated in company before. Whooshed right out of my comfort zone, but all the better for that). I especially enjoyed the afternoon singing, and am looking forward to choir on Thurs with newfound breathing techniques...

You two are an inspiration


Ema and Peter make you feel so welcome. I had such an amazing time, great songs, lovely food and made fantastic friends. So amazing that I just had to go back again in the same year and will be again this year.

"...a fabulous week. I had a wonderful time, as fun as it was relaxing (and they don't always go together) and have come back invigorated by the company, singing, sea air and outrageously good food. You're a great team with the gift of bringing people together and conjuring up something very special."
