French Countryside and Villages

in the Lot River Valley

Join Alan Flattmann for an exciting plein air painting and sketching workshop in the wonderful Lot River Valley of southern France. Lodging will be at Domaine du Haut Baran, a beautiful old French Country House with fantastic scenery all around; situated in the Lot Valley among vineyards, farms, a winding river, small villages and castles. It is just a two hour drive from Toulouse Airport and is owned and managed by an American couple, so you won’t have language difficulties. Bedrooms have private bathrooms with American style showers and hairdryers and you will have the use of the beautiful grounds with swimming pool and Jacuzzi. Transportation from the airport and to painting sites is provided by the owner who is fluent in French and English.
