Exceptional elegance in a country setting
The Domaine de la Rhue in Rocamadour – Southern France Base
 Visit the lovely grounds and rooms at: www.domainedelarhue.com
The lazy Dordogne and Lott rivers wind gracefully through some of France’s most picturesque countryside past flower villages dressed with grand medieval castles, through peaceful meadows dotted with farms, beneath towering cliffs, and into woodlands. Tour the local ancient village base of Racamadour as Jules Verne might have in a hot air balloon! The stunning countryside estate base with our own chateau awaits you. The last five days of the 14-day workshop will be spent exploring the cultural and artistic richness of Paris, France in the spring. Organized visitations and discussions in some of the most important and interesting museums in the world will improve your palette. This journey will take you back into the 19th century with a perfect blend of collections, ideally selected painting sites, local cuisines and time for personal exploration. .
