Thanks you so much for looking after us so well and I really enjoyed being at the Mas where is it so tranquil.  It was such a pleasure to spend time with you and learn so much about art and cooking.

Thank you for all you have done for us, I feel I have learned so much.  I really enjoyed the art classes and it has really motivated me to start drawing again so I don’t draw people like tea cups anymore!

The food was awesome and I appreciated every meal and so did my hollow legs.  I won’t forget the laughter and dancing so keep on grooving!  I have enjoyed every moment living in paradise and learning new skills.

"We had such a great time at our cooking class at Mas Saurine! Julia is a great teacher, and her sense of humour made the experience all the more memorable. Not only did we learn a lot about french cooking, but also enjoyed the products of our work in the great company of the other guests (who were there for painting) & the delightful hosts, Carolynn & Robert, with plenty of travel stories being shared. The area around the estate is gorgeous and we really enjoyed going for a walk to a nearby village in our break from cooking. We would absolutely recommend Mas Saurine cookery courses!"

Wish you all the best and if we're ever in your part of the world again, I have every intention of coming back for more - you've got a pretty special corner of the world there.

I had a wonderful time at Mas Saurine --- I very much enjoyed meeting you both, and Julia, and the others on the course. Your hospitality and company were a delight.

 We all very much appreciated the trouble you and Robert went to in making our holiday so enjoyable.  Everything was great and the delicious food and the wine are a happy and nostalgic memory.  Thanks too to Julia chef.

Wonderful teaching

Carolynn I am so grateful to you. Your teaching has unlocked some sort of fear I had about trying to draw and paint. I find myself looking at views and objects with much greater understanding and concentration and feel the urge to have a crack at drawing them! All my previous attempts were blighted by not knowing about perspective or about the importance of shading.

Thank you so very much for the wonderful time and your hospitality.  I don't think you could have done more to please everyone with all the outings and the beautiful food, great studio, comfortable and lovely accommodation and heavenly setting.

Thank you for a great week and all your special care with my dietary requirements. It is a lovely area and your delightful home was so welcoming and relaxing.  I learned a lot from the course and  enjoyed meeting such an interesting group of people I hope to return one day.
