British hosts Jill & Terry now reside in the region of Gascony in South West France, where they run painting and art holidays. They are joined by various art tutors on different dates, all specialising in a range of different mediums.

Jill and Terry have always had a passion for European travel. They worked for a well known holiday company in both France and Spain for several years, including in the French Alps running a large Ski challet, where they developped their knowledge of French food and wine. This led to a permanent move to France and almost 20 years later, they are still in love with everything french and love the people, lifestyle, culture and cuisine. Their son was born in France and they feel part of the their community in the small village of St Puy. Jill’s other passion is art and she paints in oil and pastel, mainly during the quiet Winter months. The Painting holiday business seemed a perfect way to combine all their interests and share their knowledge and love of their beautiful region.
