We have some truly very special activities planned for you these 7 days that only experienced people can know and take you to.

We have been taking tour groups to this region for over 20 years.
We stay in a gallo/roman medieval village and our charming hotel is a quiet haven.
Our hotel has its own pool and private garden and views and is right in the middle of the town for easy strolls to enjoy the sites.

Provence is France's land of olive trees, lavender, sunflowers and poppies with little historic cobblestoned villages.

OUR TOUR BEGINS  on MAY 23 in Avignon at the TGV train station where you will be taken by private bus or taxi transfer to our lovely accommodation for 6 nights. 

• TRAIN: you are free to organise your own travel to Avignon if you would prefer or we can organise for you to take the specified TGV train from Paris down to Avignon where we will meet you.
  Our private coach will be collecting the tour group of May 23 at 2 pm from Avignon TGV train station.
• Our hotel is in the heart of the lovely Petit Luberon Valley in a perched Provencal village. Each room is air-conditioned with lovely views and the hotel has a pool and a garden with stunning views.
• Our hotel also has its own dedicated workspace for Gel Printing and any workshops we may want to do in situ.
• The tour ends on MAY 29 after breakfast where we supply a coach to take you in to Avignon TGV for your onward travel.

We have designed this tour to maximise our journal, print making and exploration time and minimise time travelling in a bus.
Daily excursions will be to local villages, vineyards, towns and historic sites.
The workshops, sights, the markets, the shopping, the views are all BREATHTAKING.
And each afternoon when we return to our hotel, we can relax and continue sketching  or journalling with a rose wine by the pool or in the dedicated studio on site.
