Travel Memoirs Writing Seminar: May 3rd – 6th, 2012

Write your travel memoirs while staying in an 18th century château in France’s Loire Valley.

Have you always dreamed of writing and publishing your own version of “Down and Out and Living in Paris?” Join the Every Life Is A Movable Feast travel writing workshop held this spring at the Château des Sablons in France’s historic and picturesque Loire Valley. While here, you will be inspired to start writing down your own travel experiences!

The Château des Sablons is located on the edge of Bourgueil, a medieval market town near some of the greatest castles that the Loire Valley has to offer.

The four-day workshop will be led by Margo Hammond, former book editor of the St. Petersburg Times, founder of the CREATIVE LATE BLOOMER blog, and memoir writing teacher at the Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida.

Excursions to regional wineries, Loire Valley châteaux, and the nearby studio of French author Honore de Balzac may also be arranged.

Thank you so much for the hospitality!

I wanted to thank you so much for the hospitality. Robin and I had a wonderful time, and the place was perfect. If we send it once, we said it a hundred times, it reminded us of the apartment we had rented in the Marias when we were in Paris last.

Please extend my gratitude to Winston as well. He was wonderful, and very helpful with everything.  You have a gem in him.

We would love the opportunity to rent from you again.

Have a wonderful day.

We fully enjoyed our stay in France!

We wish to thank you both for being such kind hosts. As usual, we fully enjoyed our stay in France at your Loire Valley chateau, and your Paris apartment. We ate lunch frequently at 3 Rue Rosiers which has good French food, and is very busy with locals. We also enjoyed Pierre Cardin’s art nouveau museum at his Maxim’s restaurant.

We plan to visit your New Orleans unit this spring.

Yours very respectfully,
