Student Testimonials :

"......The Chateau was beyond our wildest dreams, the countryside divine, and so was the amazing chance to paint as an everyday priority, while others provided us with the most delicious meals and treats. We loved our batty bedrooms in the Apartment, the stone steps, walnut trees with resident squirrels outside the window. We appreciated the experienced, helpfulÊand friendly tuition, especially as you were in such pain with that poor toe (I hope it is better now). We were honoured to meet and spend so much time with the amazing Madame Berthau. Your mother, Suzanne was another delightful surprise, and so kind to us all.Our fellow painters, and Roland feel like old friends, and we miss them! The markets, paper mill, the people of the Perigord... so many fantastic memories, and we have been very privileged... unforgettable! For the three of us sisters, to spend such a holiday together, with common cause was just the best thing, ever! Thank you so much, and my regards and thanks to Madame as well....." - Vivienne, Australia; Gillian, Texas; Catherine, South Africa.
