Perfect way to spend a morning in Paris. Iveta was a magnificent host and guide. We enjoyed learning about the history of the cemetery as we walked to our painting spot. Iveta was a wonderful guide in helping with our paintings. They are a perfect keepsake. If you like painting at all and have time I highly recommend booking. Our teenager also enjoyed this activity.
There are some famous people buried in this interesting cemetery. The art lesson was less exciting. Equipment was very limited, the subject was chosen for us (we should have spoken up for what we would have preferred), and the instructions were hard to follow.
This was a great way to spend time in Paris . Iveata is a great host and companion. She came prepared with mats to sit on and colours to paint. She also brought some tea to share. The location was perfect for spending the morning painting in Paris. Thank you Iveata, I enjoyed my time with you.
The experience at the cemetery with an artist was amazing! Everything went smoothly and I would highly recommend this tour to travels of all levels. It was a break from the busy streets of Paris.
I received this workshop as a birthday gift. As a history enthusiast and a person who loves to draw and paint it ticked all the boxes. Although I had explored Père Lachaise on previous trips to Paris, Iveta provided a wealth of interesting lore and history of some of the famous people buried there. The opportunity to sit and paint within the cemetery was wonderful and peaceful. Iveta supplied all the tools needed along with delicious tea and great conversation. I would highly recommend this workshop for those looking for a unique Paris experience
She was kind, prepared, flexible and knowledgeable. I’d recommend a class with her to my friends. She brought hot tea to share, talked about the history of the cemetery and had all of the tools I might need available.
Our guide was very nice. We had a mini tour of the cemetery as well as a relaxing painting experience.
I recently enjoyed a wonderful experience combining art and exploration at this unique location. The watercolor painting activity was both relaxing and inspiring. The tour provided valuable insights and added to the overall enjoyment. I highly recommend this activity to anyone seeking a creative and enriching outing. It's a truly special place that deserves a visit.
This was on my bucket list, the instructor was great, it was a beautiful day, and I loved my painting as
The Artist is very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. The experience is so unique in Paris that I would recommend to join.
