Les Écuries offers the perfect location for combining a relaxing stay in the French countryside with the opportunity to learn more about a topic that interests you. We are in the process of developing a range of high quality enrichment courses. Here are just a few examples... The Taste of Wine The Romans were among the first to recognise the potential for wine growing in this region and they founded an industry that has continued to this day. Our introduction to the wine and food of the Minervois and St Chinian regions will include tutored wine tastings, visits to vineyards and food producers and meals in some of the superb local restaurants. www.frenchwinetours.co.uk Speaking French Conversational French for beginners as well as those who already have a basic grounding in the language. This combines a mix of «classroom» based learning with the opportunity to hone your skills in local shops and markets. Art Odyssey The wonderful light, unique scenery and historic buildings of the Languedoc have inspired artists for centuries. Whatever your current level of skill you can brush up your technique with an expert instructor on one of our courses. The Mediterranean Garden The challenge of creating a beautiful garden in a hot climate has been taken up triumphantly by many Mediterranean gardeners. You can learn secrets and tips from our horticultural expert and enjoy a series of fascinating visits to gardens in the Languedoc Roussillon region and nearby Catalonia in Spain. And an important topic that many of us neglect: Managing the Next Stage This course will cover all aspects of planning for your retirement and the transition into either another paid activity or alternatively into a way of life which allows you to do those many things that you were always too busy to enjoy. The course touches on financial planning, relocation, adjustment to a different life rhythm, health etc. For further information contact us on: info@les-ecuries.biz Images   1  |  2  |  3  |  4   Download document - PDF file © 2004 Thompson Communications
