ACCOMMODATIONS
All rooms in the chateau are double occupancy and will be shared with another participant, spouse or friend who the participant invites. Most rooms have their own bathrooms or a shared bathroom with an adjoining room but as which often occurs in chateaux and castles the toilets are separate and in adjacent hallways. This has been the case in previous chateaux which we’ve rented and has never posed a problem. Spouses/boyfriends/girlfriends who are not planning on participating in the painting course, are welcome to attend but are required to pay the full course fee minus a $350 discount.
Single Rooms
There are a couple of single rooms available each week at an additional cost of $400 per room.
BUS PICK UP LOCATION IN FRANCE/ TRANSPORTATION TO THE CHATEAU
All students who would like to be transported to the chateau via our bus service (in lieu of renting a car and driving to the chateau themselves) will have to arrive at Toulouse airport by the time which we will specify upon your registration for the course.
Each week there will be an excursion to the beautiful medieval city of Saint Léon sur Vézère where we’ll spend the day exploring and painting.
We will have eight rented bicycles on hand at the chateau for those who wish to explore the neighboring villages and countryside.
Fine wines are generously served at aperitif and dinner time but is not free-flowing. Moderate consumption of wine is a wonderful part of the experience but excessive drinking at the chateau and during this course is not allowed because of the risk of accident, etc.
All rooms are double occupancy, shared with another friendly participant, perhaps someone whom you invite? There are a couple of single rooms available at a $400 additional charge.
