Overview

Anya takes you through Italy, France and Spain. We follow in the footsteps of 18th century Grand Tour eager to experience history, culture, art and music of Europe. Come, ride on her shoulder through Rome. Head north to Lake Como, Florence and Harry's Bar in Venice to wait for Hemingway. Then travel through Cezanne's Tuscan mountains southward to Sorrento to taste pink fleshed peaches and trudge along the remains of Pompeii before continuing to Sicily. Anya shares impressions, anecdotes and little-known gems about the artists and architects of the day. In Barcelona we're introduced to Antonio Gaudi and become firm friends. At the Prado in Madrid we meet the other Mona Lisa. How will she compare to the one in the Louvre? In France, our bucket list includes the Champagne region, Opera Garnier, Giverny, Tour Eiffel and the Moulin Rouge. There's a short cooking course to experience before feasting on the unique gardens of Countess Efrussi at Cap Ferat in the South of France. Parties for her celebrity friends were legendary. You are left to ponder if at one of these parties her friend, F. Scott Fitzgerald was inspired to write The Great Gatsby?
