In Autignac we are not far from rivers, the Canal Du Midi and close to the Mediterranean Sea. So the variety of boats is vast the fishing boats moored on L’Herault at Agde the house boats on the Canal Du Midi and the sail boats on the Etang du Thau, and where there is water there are reflections. Of course you are not limited by the title of the week it is your holiday you choose your subject on site In the wine village of Autignac, La Liberté was built in 1830, and is decorated in sympathy with it’s age. Each twin room has it’s own shower room. It is Linda and Paul’s home, not a hotel, so each painting week will be more of a house relaxing party experience. Private painting groups are very welcome, outside the fixed dates of tutored painting weeks Easily accessible Beziers airport or railway station are 30 minutes away.
A beautiful time to visit the villages and market towns of L’Herault. Everything is waking up the vines are in full leaf, the tourists are arriving. Painting venues could include the mountain town of Minerve, Grau d’Agde where the river enters the Mediterranean Sea, St Chinian Market, Chateau Grezan Autignac’s own mini Carcassonne and the riverside village of Lunas.
