Let yourself be lulled by the song of the cicadas, the scents of the maquis, and the Provençal light. We will walk through these enchanting settings, punctuating our journey with creative stops. At each break, I will guide you step by step in learning watercolour, to create a unique work that you will take with you.

I'm Laura, a hiking guide who is passionate about watercolour, travel journals, sailing, surfing, and travel. I have been a Marseillaise by adoption for over 10 years, and I fell in love with this region, its landscapes, and its trails, which I explore far and wide.

I invite you to discover or rediscover Marseille and its surroundings (La Côte Bleue, La Ciotat, Montagne Sainte-Victoire, Le Garlaban) through hiking and watercolour sketches, and thus to take home an unforgettable souvenir of this experience. Whether you are a beginner or intermediate in drawing or watercolour, this outing is suitable for all levels.
