 Stay
in a 17th Century parsonage and wander over plateaus and ridges that flank the Lot River in the Dordogne, famous for its troglodyte dwellings and fairytale medieval villages. Pause to pick wild strawberries and explore mysterious, prehistoric dolmans in your backyard. ARTours are small and casual--only 6 or 7 of us will visit famous prehistoric cave paintings that include Lascaux II, Font-de-Gaume, and Peche-Merle. Climb the ancient steps at Rocamadour before savoring an exquisite 5-course meal, overlooking your day's ascent. Visit the tempting artist colony at St. Cirq-le-Poppie. a 15th Century hilltop village renown for its golden hues and stunning views of the Lot and Cere river valleys. Then follow Matisse's footsteps to the Provence Coast for a week-end of ocean swimming, beach walks, and art talks that culminate in a traditional gastronomic feast overlooking the medieval architecture of Collioure. Tours are offered in spring and fall. last 7 or 10 days, and depart from Toulouse. For trip schedules and availability, please call Carolyn at 415/602-3143.
