Joe setching in the Old Town of La Châtre

Our Art holidays in France offer relaxed and friendly painting and sketching time mingled in with good company, good French food and an experience of the French way of life.

Would you like to be taken to the most picturesque places in the centre of France? Would you like to spend time sketching and painting in chateaux gardens surrounded by roses? Would you like to spend a day in a forest over-looking a lake where you can enjoy a picnic lunch between sketches? Would you like to get back in the evening to to enjoy dinner and spend evenings painting, relaxing or simply chatting to your fellow artists? If you answer yes to any of the above questions then our painting and sketching holidays will really suit you.

It does not matter if you are a beginner or an accomplished artist. We provide beautiful picturesque locations for you to work in. We provide wonderful accommodation for you to relax and feel at home in. We provide delicious food (we cater for many diets). We take you out on picnics and to a restaurant (special diets permitting). We provide a further "French experience" by visiting markets and maybe a local fete, so that you go home brimming with ideas and inspiration and also feeling relaxed and ready to take on the world!

All you need to do is get here (if you are driving) - or fly to Limoges Airport and we will collect you. We can also collect from Chateauroux or Montlucon Train Stations - there is a connection from Paris for those travelling by Eurostar. You may want to bring a little spending money, but pretty much everything is included.

TESTIMONIALS:

From Joe in Dublin, July 2008..........

I spent a wonderful week at Coeur de France in early July 2008. The holiday was everything I expected, and more.

Among the aspects of my stay that deserve special comment were:

  • the fascinating trips to sites of interest from a painting/drawing perspective

  • the excellent and comfortable accommodation

  • the quality of the meals both in restaurants in the locality and in the house each evening

  • the quality of the encouragement and guidance which was always helpful and gave maximum freedom to explore my own style

  • the opportunity to see very gifted artists treat subjects in their own individual way

Two things I'd single out for special mention were the genuineness and warmth of the welcome I received, becoming for the week a member of the family and the invaluable assistance the whole experience gave in terms of my own development as a painting enthusiast.

JOE H., DUBLIN

Thank you Joe for your lovely comments.....Debbie and Anne
