France

 

 

ACY Holidays is based in Languedoc in the south of France. This region boasts two world heritage sites: the Canal du Midi and the stunning mediaeval Citadel of Carcassonne. Two other nearby cities are Nimes with its rich history dating back to the Roman Empire and the attractive city of Montpellier.

 

 

Each day of your holiday will start with a gentle yoga session (8am) before a leisurely breakfast. Art workshops (3 hours) follow and run until lunch. The afternoons are free for you to do as you wish, (usually lying by the pool with a book). Early evening is the time for aperitifs and a well earned dinner. Summer in the south of France brings endless blue skies and sunshine, do not worry if you need shade, both houses have spacious and cool interiors and shady gardens.

 

 

        “A terrific week. lots of new art ideas and a relaxed atmosphere in which to practice them. lovely company and many new experiences. Delightful in every respect.”

 

 

It is now easy to fly to the south of France from most British airports. Ryanair and Easyjet are the two main carriers into Carcassonne, Montpellier and Nimes.

 

The train leaves London early morning and arrives early evening, with one change in Lille. (see details in holiday section)
