Sacred Art, Sacred Places This is a tour that we operated for the first time during 2001. The east is not the first part of France to come to mind when thinking of an art tour. However, when one starts to go a little deeper, it contains a treasure trove of Art Nouveau (in particular in Nancy) and sacred art. The itinerary shown contains several half days set aside for painting but, if you prefer to omit these, the tour can be abridged to 12 days.
