Painting in France 2013 Limoux is beckoning us back…And...
We are going……..June 8 - June 22, 2013

Limoux, France is a charming town rich in history, culture and legend.
It is located on the banks of the Aude River, in the Laguedoc Region
of the sun-soaked Midi area of Southern France.

We will visit and paint medieval towns, with their narrow winding streets. Abbeys and castle ruins are abundant on the craggy mountains. Lush vineyards, endless fields of sunflowers and poppies on rolling green hills that inspired the Impressionists. An overnight stay in Collioure, on the enchanted Mediterranean Coast, offers an array of exciting color for a great painting experience.

Our two week stay will give us plenty of time for painting, sketching, and picture taking. Some days will be saved just to do tourist activities. Limoux has wonderful shops, outdoor cafes and offers opportunities to enjoy the local culture. You may even take a walk along the Aude River on a balmy French evening,

Our marvelous 14 days deluxe accommodations will be at Montfaucon, a newly restored luxurious residence, dating back to 1100. (check it out at www.montfaucontours.com) We will be a small group and the only guests at Montfaucon, which will offer wonderful intimacy for quiet breakfasts, incredible dinners, and lots of time for “art talk”.

This includes 14 nights of deluxe accommodations, all breakfasts and dinners, 10 days of personal artinstructions form Howard and, daily transportation, from the time you arrive at Toulouse, until it is time to return home.
