I would recommend this experience to everyone who wants to spend time on a skill in a tranquil part of the world without a doubt. I went and stayed for 3 days in France in September. I was quite nervous as I was travelling alone but Tim picked me up from the airport along with the 2 other women I was doing the workshop with. They were all incredibly friendly, I felt instantly at ease. I spent the 3 days in the most beautiful gite that Tim had just finished building. The detail of the gite was incredible and made the stay wonderful. As for the teaching, Karen was incredibly welcoming. I came with my own ideas and her skills to be able to teach and understand whatever I had in my mind was amazing. All the other techniques were taught perfectly, with patience and enthusiasm. We had a great little group and I had so much fun. I made the most wonderful jewellery which I am still getting complimented on almost everyday. Karen was incredibly honest and down to earth with her teaching and recommendations and because of that I felt like I learnt so much more that I am able to take away and repeat at home. It was a highlight of my year - and I will definitely be back! Thanks Karen and Tim!

Back from France & in isolation I look back on our trip to the Alapacas as the highlight of my stay. Owner Paul told us how they have developed the Farm over the last 12 years, & have a wonderful life looking after & breeding these adorable animals. The tour was so informative, interesting & humerous including the history of the breed, the use of their wonderful fleece, their individual personalites & how they have bred such valuable animals. A real treat was to be able to get so close & interact with the adults & babies. Interesting shop & I now need to find my needles to start knitting! Lovely gifts too. A MUST if you are in the Villefranche de Rouergue area of Averyron.

The bridge at Millau is a wonderful achievement of modern engineering. But being on the bridge is absolutely not the best place to admire the bridge. Take a stop at the aire on the north side (aire viaduc de Millau), this has a very good viewpoint. Staying in the area for a while? The site of the Millau tourism office has a list of the best places that offer a good view on the bridge. Do note that there can be dense fog in the valley completely shrouding the structure.

Lots of steps to climb but worth it for the view from the top. The stone staircase, to the top of the tower, is quite narrow for passing others. A written guide is available in English.The 5 euro entry is very responsible.

Get on board and discover the valley of the Tarn from the river as you would have imagined ... All along the river, your guide tell you the history of the country, its traditions and curiosities, its geology, fauna and flora. The boat trip starts in Creissels, a small medieval village of character near Millau. Your boatman takes you on an 9km adventure full of surprises! A beaver hut, a gray heron flight, shivering rapids, and you are under the two highest pillars in the world for a breathtaking and exclusive view of the Millau Viaduct. At the end of the tour, you sail to the troglodyte village of Peyre drawn in the rock, to admire all the charm of this classified site. 1h30 round trip (return by minibus) - boats of 6 passengers seated maximum with 1 guide. On your return, enjoy our relaxation area at the water’s edge : the "Canoe Cafe" proposes food and drink all day, shaded tables and deck chairs, and activities for everyone (walk of the cascades, Horse-drawn carriage, swimming, slackline, stand-up paddle & canoeing).

This an important museum for the collection of Neolithic menhirs, household utensils and tools alone. Beyond that it has a great small collection of beautiful Romanesques sculpture in wood and stone, and some unusual stained glass fragments. The small Greco Roman collection has some interesting pieces. Then there are the handful of fine August Rodin sculptures of the former lady of the house, Ms Fanaille, who appears to have been quite gorgeous. All this is contained in an interesting medieval palace that has been retrofitted with a modern entrance, gift shop and elevator system that works. I suggest taking the elevator to the 3rd floor, which has the mind blowing menhirs, and then working your way down, by elevator or steps. With the bargain, month long museum pass to this and the Soulages, we visited the Fanaille 3 times in 3 days. As for the Soulages Museum, it has a fine and revelatory exhibition of Le Corbusier's art thru the summer. Who knew? (I was expecting lounge chairs.) Soulages' work, pretty much the entirety of the permanent collection, doesn't do much for me. Although some are intriguing, many just look like Franz Kline with thicker paint.
