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 medieval 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.
Two exciting venues for 2012
Maison Verte 28th July- 4th August
Art and Yoga with Karen Stamper
Art and Yoga with Karen Stamper
Each day of your holiday could 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, ( lay by the pool, explore the area or return to the studio). There is an optional afternoon studio time (4-6pm). 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 shot in the arm for a ‘relapsed’ art and yoga friend, wonderful company and gorgeous food too! I feel thoroughly pampered and refreshed, ready to join the fray.”
It is now easy to fly to the south of France from most British airports. Ryanair and Easyjet are the two main carriers into Beziers, Carcassonne, Montpellier and Nimes.
“One of the reasons I keep returning to France with Karen is the short journey time and the fact that she is always available, from pick up at the airport to my departure. I usually travel on my own so it is very reassuring”
Travel by eurostar is also easy, a train leaves London early morning and arrives early evening, with one change in Lille.
