When I was small I used to say that I wanted to be a starving artist in Paris. I imagined myself in black and white clothes wearing a beret with bright red lipstick doing portraits of people on the sidewalk (so stereotypical, I know). No matter where you grew up, Paris is a city that would have intrigued most people in some form or the other. France might be a long way away from Melbourne, but I'm happy to say that for a weekend we can pretend to be there at the ' Paris to Provence' festival . Oui, oui.



Como house and Gardens in South Yarra will be home to this three day fete from November 21st to November 23rd. Many French themed attractions including food, entertainment and even seminars will take place trying to recreate the ambience of a traditional French village. Oh the feels.



Some of the highlights that you might be interested in catching are the two master classes run on all three days. 'Journey in to the world of Champagne' hosted by the Champagne Dame and also the much more affordable '3 French Desserts to impress family and friends' by Pierrick Boyer (run Saturday and Sunday). The Chef's garden marquee will have many mouthwatering French delicacies and there will be loads of activities for children as well . Free 45 minute art workshops will be run by Petit Atelier for the little artists, as well as Lavender Play dough (play dough with a French twist), Mini Monet easels in the children's courtyard and a beautiful steam Carousel straight from Paris. Be sure to pre book the sessions in case they run out of space. And finally there will be several presentations on travel options to France in case the festival inspires you to jet set and soak in the real Paris.



And those who don't drive can rejoice as Como House and Gardens is only a 15 minute walk from South Yarra Train Station or you can take tram no. 8 to stop 34. It is also only a ten minute drive from the Melbourne CBD alternatively. So for something a little different and a fun day for the whole family this might be worth dusting off your berets for. Tickets can be bought here .
