About Activity
One Day Painting Workshops Inspired by the Art of Living in Provence
Our painting workshops are about far more than simply learning to paint or improving your technical skills. They are immersive creative experiences that combine art, travel, culture, and the timeless lifestyle of Provence.
Designed to inspire your imagination as much as your artistic ability, these private workshops encourage you to slow down, observe differently, and connect with the extraordinary landscapes, villages, colours, and atmosphere that have captivated artists for centuries. Rather than concentrating solely on technique, we help you explore new ways of seeing, interpreting, and expressing the world around you.
Working en plein air in picturesque villages, vineyards, olive groves, bustling markets, and beautiful countryside settings, you'll discover how the remarkable light, architecture, textures, and rhythm of Provençal life can influence your own artistic style and creativity.
Includes
- Private transportation
- Light refreshments, chilled bottled water, fresh seasonal fruit
- Following a relaxed picnic lunch, there will be time to continue painting and refining your work before returning to your accommodation in the early evening.

Painting the beautiful scenes in Provence Francejlmjanet
I had a wonderful experience, plein air painting with an excellent guide in three wonderful locations. Laurent was personable and talented. I learned a great deal from him and highly recommend this experience. Communication was excellent beforehand. I felt confident and excited about the opportunity. I was picked up at my location and delivered back home on time and had in my possession four paintings that I produced along our travels. Do something for yourself and book this. ❤️. PS Laurent is a great cook and I enjoyed our lunch that he prepared. The attention to detail was remarkable! Thank you Laurent. I hope to see you again.
Amazing Contemporary art Displayed in a vineyard!CAgirlqt
This is a worthwhile tour to take. I advise taking the first tour at 10 AM with a guide. We had an English speaking guide, who was extremely knowledgeable. This is an art project in progress. It seems that art is acquired on a very select basis and placed throughout the 600 acres of land, most of which is a working vineyard. After the tour, there are several restaurants where one can have a delicious meal.
An Amazing Experiencesherryr1956
My visit was one of the highlights of my recent trip to France. I wish I could have stayed all day. The sculpture walk is magical. It is a little hard to find, but don't give up. Give yourself lots of time to do the walk and see the sculpture. Give yourself a break by having a beautiful lunch and a very nice rose.
L'Art entre vignes et forêtjean-claude l
Excellent moment à parcourir les oeuvres d'Art entre vignes et forêt . Le circuit que nous avons choisi à durée 2 heures. C'est très bien indiqué et le circuit est plaisant.
Au retour , nous avons mangé au restaurant à coté de la librairie . C'était bon mais inégal . Les côtelettes d'agneau pour ma femme étaient excellentes et copieuses et mon maigre était ridicule . La carte des vins n'était pas à jour. le vin que l'on voulait n'existait pas .
Pour le domaine essentiellementGepi74
Très agréable visite dans le domaine et les vignes .
Je ne suis pas spécialement amateur de cet art moderne , je l’avoue mais la visite est tout de même intéressante .
Le domaine est vraiment étendu et la cadre idéal .

Possibilité de se restaurer ou de boire un être en en terrasse
Visite des vignes et des expositionsCorine0813
Un cadre magnifique pour communier avec la nature. Ballade au milieu des vignes, et découverte des sculptures modernes en pleine nature. Après la marche, pause au bistrot pour se restaurer : thé glacé, limonade maison, très désaltérante, et pour les amateurs de vin il y a bien sûr du vin a consommer avec modération. La visite se poursuit dans la cave où vous pouvez acheter du vin et des douceurs de la région.

Le parcours dans les vignes et la pinède autours des oeuvres d'art est une merveille. L'apéritif sur la placette et e,n musique est un moment exceptionnel. Les expositions temporaires et la dégustation viennent parfaire cette journée.
