ANTICLASTIC RAISING IN THE SOUTH OF FRANCE
Stimulate your creative juices with the aid of Sun, French Food and Coffee at the local Cafe, and maybe after work a glass or two of the locally produced and fermented "Grape Juice"
.

This is a view of the small village of Autignac in the centre of one of the many wine producing areas in the region.
The Atelier is located about 50mm to the right of the Church which you can see on the left of the Photograph.
There are some wonderful walks in the hills behind, which are about 20 minutes away.
Below is Place du 14eme Juillet, Autignac.
