The art retreat in Noyers, Burgundy, balanced morning artistic activities with afternoon excursions. Julie Lynch and her friends visited towns like Avallon, Vézelay, and the Château d'Ancy-le-Franc, enriching their experience of the region.
“And from Noyers, you can pretty much just travel for 15 minutes and you can see, you know, some of the things we did, we went to a town called Avallon, which had a historic costume museum, and we actually just stumbled across the historic costume museum.”
“We went to a town called Vézelay, and there's a huge church called Abbaye Sainte-Marie-Madeleine de Vézelay The Basilica of Saint Magdalene. And that, again, that was a recommendation by our wonderful host, Michelle Anderson.”
“We also went to a beautiful château. Now, there are a lot of châteaux in France, you know, grand châteaux. There's a lot of grand châteaux in France, not even the ones that… About 45,000, I hear. Yeah. It's amazing, isn't it? Well, this was spectacular, it was called the Château d'Ancy-le-Franc.”
