painting holiday in france : june 2025

20 July 2024

Just a quick update on my painting holiday in France for 2025 - we have just one room left!

In June 2025 I'm planning to go back to wonderful Perigord Retreats for the 4th time, to guide another small group on a painting holiday in France. Based on the trips I guided there, I can honestly say this will be an experience of a lifetime!

We will have 9 days for a beautiful blend of studio time, delightful excursions, cultural experiences and of course, plenty of free time to rest and explore. We will travel into the lovely countryside to paint and visit some of the most scenic towns in Southern France. We will spend time painting and picnicking along the Dordogne River and throughout the valley.

FULLY BOOKED! Contact me to join the waiting list or join me in Portugal in September 2025
