ART & ARCHITECTURAL TOURS
TOURS FOR LOVERS OF ARCHITECTURE, ART AND HISTORY
Jean,
Hadn't had an opportunity to talk to you since the lecture in Palm Beach. However, I have to tell you that your lecture was the best and most informative presentation on Antonio Gaudi that I've ever encounter. Furthermore, all of your slide presentations about public housing were absolutely top quality.
May the Gods of Architecture and Design smile upon your soul.
Cordially,
Hernando Carrillo,

About Jean’s tours
My tours are guided tours. The groups are small, from 6 to 12 participants. We travel in comfort and stay in very nice hotels. Many meals are included as well as whatever sites we visit, guides’ fees, tips, taxes, books and maps.
I am also the only tour operator offering systematically accidental/medical/lost
luggage insurance on all the tours.
I also created and guided private tours anywhere
anyone wants to go. For one couple, a single person or a group of 32. Just tell me
where you want to go and how small or big your group will be. For example, I am taking
16 members of the same family throughout Romania, Hungary, Austria and Germany in
June. I can do the same for you.
For a fee, I can create a very tailored trip for you and your family or your friends to anywhere, so you won’t waste time wondering about what to do rather than wandering around beautiful places. Everything will be planned so you are experiencing a non-stressful vacation, with the possibility to change the program anytime you feel like it.
You have a choice: organized planned guided tours or guided private tours or planned on your own tour.
And if you are an architect or a designer, on all the guided tours you will get Continuing Education Credits.
See you soon,
Jean

BENEFITS AND TECHNIQUES OF LIME PLASTERS AND FINISHES
Stuccoes, Venetian Plasters & Moroccan Tadelakt
2 HSW CEU/LU-SD
Why is it that lime is not used in Florida as much as it should when it is an 9,000 years technology that has proven its advantages,
especially in humid climates, in places exposed to salt
and in areas prone to mold?
Why is that the Egyptians, Greeks, the Romans, the people building the great cathedrals of Europe and Palladio used lime and we don’t?
Are we so brain-washed that we won’t even look into
the qualities of a natural products that can really be called green, contrary to a lot of chemical stuffs that do not do the job
and do pollute or are toxic to the people using them
or living and working in their proximity.
Learn about the fabulous Moroccan finishes called Tadelakt.
Hundred of years of experience in the most humid conditions.
