Seven Days in the Loire Valley.
One Extraordinary Celebration.
Deux Siècles de Soie has been conceived as a complete creative and cultural experience, bringing together exceptional embroidery tuition, exclusive project materials, beautiful accommodation, historic settings, shared dining and private group transport throughout the week.
From the moment we meet in Paris on 12 September to our return on 18 September, the principal arrangements are taken care of, allowing you to focus on the experience itself.
