Video: Château de Rosa Bonheur - The “Time Capsule” Studio Home of 19th century Artist Rosa Bonheur

Brand-new to our Renaissance itinerary is a visit to Château de Rosa Bonheur – The home of Rosa Bonheur. On this truly fascinating tour, guests will have the opportunity to discover her studio that remains completely untouched since her death in 1899.

Rosa Bonheur was the most celebrated female artist of the 19th Century, a pioneer in a man’s world and a champion of women’s rights. Her best-known paintings are of animal scenes including one of Buffalo Bill on horseback which prompted an enduring friendship between the two. We take lunch in the private salon of the chateau before joining the present owner for a tour and to hear more about the history of this remarkable lady and view some of her works.
