Ancient stone, exotic flowers, rolling fields of grape; glorious soups, cheeses, lovely wines, turrets, secret tower rooms, lily ponds, antique fabrics, acres of sunshine: this is just a partial list of what you will experience at Chateau du Pin. Join David and Peg in an extraordinary adventure of the senses. You will sleep in a castle, enjoy lovely rustic meals, visit colorful markets, live among the topiary, the gargoyles and  M A K E   A R T!

Our workshops are designed to accommodate all levels.

For folks discovering us for the first time via the web we have an application process. Please make an appointment by email: mjgignoux@gmail.com for a phone interview. We require two personal references. We also would enjoy seeing a sample of work. We work hard to build compatible groups who enjoy living, eating, and making art together in France.
