Paint the Gardens, Castles & Chateaux in Normandy with Pamela Kay
Normandy is a haven for artists with some of France’s best kept secret and famous gardens including Monet’s at Giverny and ruined castles and turreted chateaux along the banks of the Seine River and towns with pretty half-timbered houses.

Seine Valley
The gardens of Normandy in particular, but also the rich Romanesque, Gothic and Renaissance architecture and sheer variety of subject matter, appeals to Pamela Kay. Along with the ease and comfort of travelling by private executive coach from the UK and having the exclusive use of a luxury hotel on the banks of the Seine with its own 3-hectare island, this promises to be a very special home-from-home painting holiday.
Monet’s Garden
Country gardens are set amongst apple orchards, rolling hills, forests and along the coast. Some are contemporary, others are walled potager gardens, and all are with enthusiastic owners. Some are formal chateau gardens. Painting in them will be the focus on this holiday with a couple of afternoons painting in Monet’s garden at Giverny. The famous water lilies flowering season normally starts in June (weather dependent), but the gardens are always full of colour and inspiration.
Normandy
Time will also be spent painting the castles and chateau in the Seine Valley, as well as the archetypical half-timbered and turreted houses and local markets.
Should the weather turn inclement then there will be painting still life back at the hotel or sketching inside a chateau.
