3 for 2-offer & Post/ILTM invitation
Dear Colleague,
Hotel Le Pigonnet
(https://www.hotelpigonnet.com) Just a stone's throw from the heart of Aix-en-Provence, this charming 18th century Provencal Bastide - a 5-star
Small Luxury Hotel combining classical and contemporary design - offers a view of Mt. Sainte-Victoire, immortalized in a painting by Paul Cezanne, who, back in the day, frequented the area. Known as
the Jewel in the Crown of Provence, Aix-en-Provence is an ideal base for visiting the treasures of the region. Surrounded by a beautiful 1.5 acre French garden, the 40-room/5-suite mansion includes a gourmet restaurant, indoor and garden bar/lounge, wellness & fitness centre, outdoor swimming pool heated from May to October, plus facilities for conferences, meetings or special events. The hotel's concierge and shuttle services run year round, plus parking at the hotel is complimentary.
Autumn is an ideal time to visit Provence - the crowds of summer have thinned, the temperate fall weather brings clear blue skies, wine and olive oil pressing are at a peak, and lower off-season rates for flights and hotels offer a bonus. All the museums, restaurants, galleries, shops, markets are open in this University town that is full of history. The
Caumont Art Centre will be exhibiting The Georges Leskowicz
Collection featuring the great masters of Japan - Hokusai, Hiroshige, Utamaro, from Nov 1, 2019 to Mar 31, 2020. The exhibit will include Japanese costumes and culture dating from the Edo era, ukiyo-e prints, and other remarkable objects
