Highlights

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.

Itinerary

  1. Itinerary: Your day begins with private collection from your hotel, villa, bed & breakfast, or guest accommodation before travelling into the heart of the Luberon. Our destination is the beautiful hilltop village of Saignon—one of Provence's lesser-known treasures and undoubtedly one of its most enchanting villages. With its narrow cobbled streets, ancient stone houses, panoramic viewpoints, and peaceful atmosphere, Saignon provides the perfect setting for a day of creative inspiration.

    3 hAdmission included

  2. In the afternoon, continue to the nearby village of Lourmarin, one of the most beautiful villages in Provence. Here you'll spend time painting and sketching amongst its charming cobbled streets, elegant squares, and around its magnificent Renaissance château. With its beautiful architecture, shaded cafés, and timeless Provençal atmosphere, Lourmarin provides the perfect setting to conclude your day of artistic inspiration.

About Marseille

Marseille, France's oldest city, is a Mediterranean port of old forts, hilltop basilicas and limestone coves, and the home of bouillabaisse.

Greek sailors founded Marseille around 600 BC, making it the oldest city in France. The Vieux-Port is its centre, a long harbour ringed by cafés and the morning fish stalls, guarded by two forts at its mouth. On a hill above, the basilica of Notre-Dame de la Garde carries a gilded statue of the Virgin Mary and shows the harbour and the islands from its terrace.

Top-ranked sights in Marseille: Notre-Dame de la Garde Basilica (La Bonne Mère), Old Port of Marseille (Vieux Port), Vallon des Auffes.
