“Two weeks in Provence what an experience.
We visited lots of galleries in the South of France from Nice to Avignon , we sketched & painted panoramic views, poppy fields, climbed citadels, picturesque hill top villages, beaches as well as snowcapped mountains. We visited the local markets & Jane examined the cupboards.
Great wine (rose’) & delicious French food – lots of baguettes, croissants . Thank you to the talented group of individuals on the tour.. & of course a big thank you to Lilliana for getting us there.” – Emmy Mavroidis
