very year when we
return to France,
we make it a point
to discover a
different aspect of the “old”
France we love so much.
And we try to capture that

barge) by ourselves to explore France’s
idyllic rivers and canals with their beautiful
old bridges, ancient castles, and quaint
villages.
We also headquarter for a few days
in Versailles, staying in a charming little 17th-century hotel (originally Louis XIV’s livery) behind
the old market square. This allows us to spend some time savoring the special ambiance of the castle
and its magnificent park.
But we never leave France without
visiting the museums of Paris, of course, and making
our annual “pilgrimage” to Giverny.
We do hope you’ll enjoy visiting
France with us through our paintings. And because our styles are so different – whether you’re
a homeowner, decorator, designer, or an architect,
a dealer or curator, an individual
or a corporation – perhaps you’ll
find something that interests you.
