Painting courses at the French Riviera

We offer painting courses in Plan-de-la-Tour

Provence has for several centuries been a favorite place for painters who have sought tranquility and inspiration from its beautiful nature. Famous painters as Picasso, Van Gogh, Gauguin, Césanne are just a few famous painters who have been producing their most famous artwork in the area. With this background, there are a lot of cultural museums in the area. The iconic art village Saint-Paul-de-Vence is a good example of this.

In Plan-de-la-Tour you can also enjoy some of the same wonderful nature and culture that has inspired many great artists.
