Creative Writing Workshop
August 8-15, 2010
Find your writer’s voice in the sanctuary of Le Maraval, a special place indeed, situated in the heart of the French countryside, this seventeenth century manor is an inspiration!
“I first discovered Le Maraval when hunting on line for the perfect French vacation. During the two weeks I spent there I was transported from my excessively busy American existence back in time to a simpler and yet richer way of life. By the end of the two weeks I felt as if I had two holidays one by day and one by night. My dream life was so active I felt as if I had been privy to a portal to another dimension.”
If you want to unlock your creative potential as a writer and spend lazy days exploring the lush countyside of the Dordogne and eating the glorious culinary specialities of the region – then do join us…
