HOW IT WORKS
This art holiday for families or groups of friends is available at La Petite Galerie in SW France. It take the form of a standard self catering gite holiday in a large 3 bedroom house - with 3 bathrooms - in Gascony - PLUS you get three or four art sessions at no extra cost.
This means that you arrange your own meals, either preparing them in the large kitchen or using the BBQ in the private, walled garden. There are also plenty of options in nearby French restaurants or bistros.
