Trip to Grignon
The last day of the workshop the group chose to take a trip to Grignon, a town with a chateau that looks like a mini-Versailles. It was the home of a daughter who received a series of letters from her mother (Madame de Sevigne). The letters are poetic and witty and were later published in volumes of books. They are famous because the style brought letter writing into a proper art form. The town and chateau are both beautiful and charming. Through the years, many artists have visited Grignon and it has inspired many beautiful paintings, drawings and watercolors of the chateau and the grounds. It is worth a visit.
