Autumn is a stunning time of year in the south of France. In this short weekend break indulge in a glorious getaway full of colour in the vineyards surrounding the Canal du Midi.

Whether you are already sketching or an absolute beginner, you’ll be guided step-by-step - from fear of the blank page to making bold and confident brushstrokes! You’ll complete your stay with a book full of great sketches and plenty of good memories too.

Our sketching itinerary starts 23 October. For the next 2 days we will be sketching and exploring this beautiful area, in all its vibrant shades of colour.
