Find us in the idyllic southwest of France, La France Profonde.
We've completely restored our 17th century farmhouse with your comfort and convenience in mind - French country furnishings with completely modern facilities. Enjoy the Salon with its Library, the terraces and swimming pool. Painting lessons begin in our newly constructed Atelier (Art Studio). Demonstrations are held both onsite and in the charming villages we'll visit during your stay, among them: Monpazier - the most perfectly preserved medieval bastide in France; Chateau de Monbazillac - a Renaissance chateau where we'll taste the wine for which it is named; Bergerac, the town made famous by the poet-Muskateer Cyrano - and much, much more!
