BEFORE OR AFTER WORKSHOP …
If you’re arriving before the first workshop (April 26 to May 2) and you’re an Australian or New Zealander, I would strongly recommend flying to Paris and taking a train up to Amiens on April 24 for a visit to the trenches of WW1 and the very moving ANZAC dawn service on April 25. I can assure you, you will never forget it.
You can then catch a train on the morning of the 26th down to Paris and a fast train on to Arles arriving in the afternoon of the 26th.
If you haven’t been to Provence, the south of France and the Côte d’Azur before, I would certainly recommend seeing the following:
The cosmopolitan and sophisticated centre of the cote d’azure, Nice. For art lovers, among the many attractions of that city, I’d recommend the Matisse Museum CLICK HERE for more info.
You can catch a short train from Nice to Antibes, a beautiful little coastal village where Picasso lived and visit the Picasso museum there CLICK HERE for more info.
I would suggest as well a short bus trip from Nice to beautiful Saint Paul de Venice in the hills where a whole chapel was designed by Matisse, CICK HERE for more info.
Also I would strongly recommend the Village d’Ez halfway between Nice and Monte Carlo, again, accessible by train, CLICK HERE for more.
And of course you can lose the family fortune at the casino in Monte Carlo and see where princess Grace lived in the Castle Rainier, CLICK HERE for more info.
Near Arles is UNESCO-listed Avignon and le Palais des Papes, where the popes lived when the seat of power in the Catholic Church moved to Avignon, CLICK HERE for more info.
