On these two weekends, you will have the opportunity to discover a region that is guaranteed to win your heart with its stunning scenery and the relaxed friendliness of its people.

Come and meet 24 talented artists who have chosen to make their home here, and gain an intimate insight into their creative work by seeing them at work in their own studios – and perhaps even find that "must have" piece you will want to take home with you.

On the way from one studio to another, follow the winding Ardèche roads from craggy hilltops to peaceful valleys through medieval villages and vibrant towns; discover castles and churches, markets and museums, rivers and grottoes on the way, immersing yourself in a kaleidoscope of landscapes that change dramatically every few miles.

Enjoy the robust wines of the Ardèche and taste its imaginative seasonal cuisine,
based on fresh local ingredients.

At the end of a stimulating and inspiring day, with your mind full of exciting new impressions and experiences, return to your chosen B&B, one of 24 selected for the quality of their accommodation and their charming welcome. Some will also be hosting mini-exhibitions of the artists’ work during this period. Many of the owners of these historic residences speak English as well as other languages, and every one of them will ensure that you feel completely at home here.
