Join poet Richard Robbins and artist Brian Frink for an immersive creative journey through Southern France and Spain. This is not a conventional tour—it’s a slow, intentional exploration of place through painting, poetry, conversation, and shared discovery.

We’ll wander historic towns, coastal landscapes, and luminous countryside, stopping often to look closely, to write, to paint, and to reflect. Along the way, participants are invited into the creative process itself—watching poems and paintings take shape in response to light, architecture, food, and the rhythms of daily life. These works become an added layer to the journey, deepening your connection to the places we visit.

No prior experience in art or writing is required—just curiosity and a willingness to be present. Whether you’re a practicing artist, a devoted reader, or simply someone who wants a richer way to travel, this experience offers time, space, and inspiration away from the rush of everyday life.

Come for the beauty of Southern France and Spain. Stay for the conversations, the creative spark, and the rare pleasure of traveling with intention.
