Chateaux & Art of Northern France

11-15 September 2025

 This mesmerising journey takes in some of France's most famous and colourful moments in history, with stunning artistic examples at virtually every turn. The region is blessed with illustrious palaces,

each with its own story to tell and all equally as impressive as the next. Over 1000 years of history are celebrated through an impressive array of paintings, complex architecture, and ornate palatial gardens, bringing legendary characters to life and unveiling the inspiration to many an artist over the centuries. Whilst the main focus is about experiencing the grandeur of the palaces and staggering volume of classical artwork, there is still time to appreciate the modern-day towns and gardens.
