  • Pressed and Dried Red Peppers, Which Add Colour to Dishes, While Vast Bunches of Basil Scent the Air
    P R E S S K I T Belmond Afloat in France introduced by Fiona Sims OVERVIEW Belmond Afloat in France has redefined inland cruising with its fleet of luxury barges (or péniche hôtels, as they are known in France), which meander along the country’s bucolic rivers and canals. Operating from April to October, the barges wind sedately through various routes in Burgundy, Provence and Languedoc-Roussillon, stopping along the way for lunch with legendary wine producers, visits to vibrant markets in medieval villages, or a hike up to a Cathar castle perched on a craggy hilltop. Guests can book an entire barge (or even two in tandem) for their own exclusive use, or simply sail on a per-cabin basis. It’s the ultimate escape for family and friends, and a unique romantic getaway. And this is barging with a difference – think en-suite bathrooms (some with baths), heated swimming pools, tastings of rare vintages, gourmet food, and antiques-decked interiors. There’s even a grand piano on board one of the barges. And for guests who can’t escape the real world there is Wi-Fi, and all the latest gadgets to hand. There are customized itineraries to captivate all imaginations, and all ages, from truffle hunting and go-karting, to hot air ballooning and horse-riding. Or to just simply be — drifting effortlessly along, past banks of yellow irises and fields of lavender, crossing sun-drenched plateaus with doe-eyed Charolais cattle, past dramatic gorges and rosemary-scented garrigues, where daily life is dictated by the rhythm of the vineyard.

  • Francja Edit Nancy Thompson
    ‘Inspired by the Impressionists’ Provence Tour Art League of Ocean City June 14-24, 2020 with Nancy Ellen Thompson Experience Magical Provence A journey you will never forget! Join us! Lavender, vineyards, olive trees, thyme, fresh figs, medieval villages, markets and sun-filled landscapes! Discover why the region was such an inspiration for artists like Van Gogh, Picasso, Cezanne and Monet. Following in the footsteps of the Impressionists in Provence, we will visit many important and beautiful towns and villages: -St Remy where Vincent Van Gogh spent the last months of his life. We will visit Saint-Paul-de-Mausole monastery, the hospice where the painter produced some of his most famous works, such as the Sunflowers. -Aix-en-Provence, a thriving cultural center. Here we will visit Cézanne’s studio, left just as it was when he painted there. -Arles , a Provencal city called Little Rome. Centuries ago, it played an important role as a colony of Julius Caesar and today is a great museum of a city. This is the city where Vincent van Gogh created his most important paintings and lost his ear. Also, Picasso and his museum, to which Picasso, in love with Arles and in bullfights, donated a number of his works and thus initiated the creation of a museum of the art of his own name. June is lavender season! We will sketch beautiful fields and visit the lavender museum in Senanqe Abbey. It is one of the most photographic places in France. Of course, we make time to explore vineyards and have a wine tasting of French wines.
