THE ART OF AUGUST
Take a voyage down the Seine River with Alfred Sisley, one of the pioneers of French Impressionism. Relax and enjoy the view as it gradually emerges, taking us back to the slower pace of the 19th century. The only sound, the rippling of the water against our boat rowed by a local oarsmen, while above white clouds move leisurely across the deep blue sky.
