Exotic Tango Vacations, LLC brings you:
“EAU DE TAN GOGH” TANGO VACATION IN FRANCE,
SEPTEMBER 16-25, 2003
The teachers are: EL INDIO and MARIANA, and Eduardo Saucedo, celebrated
instuctors from Buenos Aires. The vintage of these instructors is
unquestionable. A bold blend of zesty berry, smoky pomegranate, and the
flavor of saffron and rose petals heated by the sun.
We'll have the best of both worlds with three days in Paris, but then this
perfumed trip is even stronger, and leads you to the Dordogne at Chateau St.
Loup, for two days.
With 12th century gardens, a large outside woodfloored
dance tent and another in the castle, complete with chandeliers and
fireplace, we will have an abundance of dance atmosphere and space! This
castle was the inspiration for the fairytale, PUSS AND BOOTS. Look up the
story, and you may see the castle! Dordogne is rich with forest, truffle and
mushroom country.
Then your nose and taste buds lead you to Sarlat-le-Caneda, a beautifully
preserved medieval market town. During our two days there, we have another
fabulous dance space available to us, in between journeys to Eyzies-de-Tayac
and the cave paintings, and more castles. Next we travel through the Gorges
de Tarn, some of the most stunning scenery in France. We will go up through
the Langued'Oc *region where the Mediterranean climate extends to the warm
and spontaneous attitude of the people.
Langued' Oc is a mysterious land where the mystic Christian community of the
Cathars lived in the 13th century. Persecuted by the Inquisition, these
Christians believed humans were fallen angels, and named their faith the
"Church of Love." They were obliterated by a Crusade, but the passion
of their beliefs and their mysteries remain in stark and unforgettable stone
bastions and towers.
Giddy with great wine and olfactory ostentatiousness, we move on to Toulouse
for two nights to dance with the Tango community there, and to take a tour to
Montsegur, through the villages and Cathar country south of Toulouse. After
experiencing the passion of the Cathars, and a night of the conflagration of
Tango, we take an early morning high speed train back to Paris for a last
night in the City of Light before returning home.
Our trip is over, but the scent will remain in your memory forever.
