We also run Poetry Appreciation and Writing Courses. At Poetry in France you will have the opportunity to meet with like minded people and be actively encouraged to explore and develop your creative potential. The concept is for everyone to be at one with themselves whilst working with people from different avenues of life brought together by a shared love of poetry and exploring the power of words. There are no formal qualifications needed, all we want to do is to get everyone writing: You only need a love of poetry and a desire to write. Everyone is welcome – and whatever stage you are at with your writing there will be encouragement. The environment will be right for you to progress as an individual poet.

Every town and large village has a traditional market specialising in local produce foie gras, cheeses etc particularly Riberac on Friday mornings and Chalais on Monday morning.
The Sunday morning market in Aubeterre is particularly attractive with an enjoyable atmosphere. Bergerac Approx I hour. Restored gabares – used to float barrels of wine downriver to Bordeaux, now restored for leisurely trips down the river, with wonderful views of the quays and old town. Flower lined avenues. The old quarter stretching out from above the quays through quaint alleys and old squares with many fine stone and half-timbered buildings is a painter’s delight. On market days don’t miss the sumptuous fish stalls. Extensive vineyards and opportunities for wine tasting. Approx 45 mins. A former barony on the banks of the Dronne, has two castles side by side. Next to the looming feudal fortress is the superb 16th century Renaissance palace, built and sumptuously furnished for Catherine de Medici –who never once deigned to set foot in it.
Fortunately the public can enjoy the fine collection of early Spanish, Dutch and Italian furniture and admire the décor in the lady’s bedroom. St Emilion - South approximately hour. Spectacular hilltop village at the heart of Bordeaux wine country. Wine tasting and sales in the village and at numerous vineyards. Perigueux - Approx 45 mins.
The capital of the Dordogne a gracious blend of ancient and modern. Originally two cities, one ecclesiastical and one mercantile. The oldest remains to be seen today are the Gallo-Roman tower, the Tour de Vesone, and the excavations of a village of the same era, in a new museum called Vesunna. The main shopping area is a warren of cobbled alleys lined with boutiques, summer buskers and magnificent Renaissance houses.
This pedestrian area with its shady squares and café terraces is a marvellous venue for open air events.
