Beat the Recession!

Worried about the effects of the recession on your holiday spending power...?

Well, you're not alone. We're all concerned about the strength of the Pound/Dollar/Euro, so allow us take the strain for you.

Once here, there's nothing more to pay...

What's more, because we provide everything you'll need (tuition, accommodation, food, drink, internet, transportation, etc) you won't have to spend a penny - it's all here (see what's included).

Of course, you may want to go out for the odd meal, but this area of France is renowned for its great value restaurants and we'll happily point you in the direction of our favourites.

Getting here is easy and cheap..!

Despite the sad demise of Speedferries, crossing the channel is still great value.

For example, using an arbitrary ferry booking site such as FerryCheap, we found a return Dover-Calais crossing for £80 for a car and two passengers.

And, if you'd prefer to fly, Ryanair provided the same schedule for a total of £147 return for two passengers.

Now that's good value!

Easy to get to...

Because of the proliferation of cheap flights and tumbling ferry prices your painting holiday in France represents great value for money.

Although travel to Limoges (our nearest airport), or the train stations at Brive and Souillac is not included in the price, we'll happily pick you up and drop you off at either of these destinations. 

But, if you wish to fly or train-it and hire your own transportation, Hertz and Avis car rental outlets are available at all destinations.

Want to bring a friend or partner?

Do you have a non-painting friend or partner who would like to come along?  No problem: non-painting guests are very welcome and, what's more, the price can be about half that of the painter's rate.

Booking...

Booking is easy, and only an email or phone call away, so why wait?  Strike while the iron's hot - book a painting holiday in France now and share an experience you'll never forget!
