Loving the Scenery on our painting trip in France!
This is the fourth day of our journey. Jac and Valerie are excellent tour guides. They are able to share fascinating historical information that we wouldn’t otherwise hear.
We spent part of today in Lyon walking through the old part of the city. C’est magnifique! Yesterday was spent in the beautiful village of Chanaz. We are seeing France in a unique way. It’s a wonderful combination of sightseeing and painting opportunities.
Each day Valerie creatively prepares meals tailored to each town we visit. C’est delicieux! And always the wine and cheese of each region.
Joyce and Patty.
