Textile Tour of France
Paris To Provence
April 8-21, 2024
On this textile tour of France, experiences rich in the French tradition are in abundance. The tour starts with visits to specialty shops and finishes with attendance at Quiltmania’s Pour l’Amour du Fil show. In between, you are surrounded by vibrant fibers, fabric printing history, and French culture.
Begin your tour with a visit to Claude Monet’s amazing garden, and home, in Giverny, then, it’s on to a half-day walking tour with a local textile artist to discover textile shops that are hidden treasures. In Avignon, there is ample time to explore the captivating villages and towns of the beautiful region of Provence with outings to beloved markets and the opportunity to tour The Quilt House La Maison du Boutisuse, (a quilt and costume museum in the charming village of Calvisson). In Lyon, visit the Textile Museum and become immersed in 2,000 years of textile history.
The trip concludes with the Quiltmania’s Pour l’Amour du Fil quilt show in Nantes, one of Europe’s most prestigious fiber events, with an impressive gallery of artwork and international vendors offering the latest wares. Following the show, we return to Paris for a farewell dinner before departing for home.
