This year's the 5-day annual international travel sketchbook event, RENDEZ-VOUS CARNET DE VOYAGE is all on one floor (including the fabulous chocolate chip cookies to be shown in next post).
Its much easier to navigate.
The Leporello accordion sketchbook is all over the expo.
There are areas where you sit and listen to audio travel adventures, browse books and possibly catch a few Zzzs before looking at more sketchbooks.
Irresistible art supplies and the publishers with even more books to browse and buy are enticing.
This is another place to bring a granny cart for take-aways.
Master sketcher, GABI CAMPANARIO from Seattle was invited to represent URBANSKETCHERS. If you're lucky to live in Seattle def take one of his workshops. Otherwise buy his terrific DRAWING BOOKS.
Sonia Privat won a prize in show for her book AMANI.
Her drawings are strewn appropriately among old travel suitcases. Remember what those looked like? More to come soon. PS I had oysters for breakfast in the Sunday marché. Yum Carol in Clermont-Ferrand🎨
You get to go to the best events! And they are EVERYWHERE in Paris. I guess that's what happens when ONE lives in a major metropolitan area and not some small, quasi-rural place that aspires to be a cultural crossroad!
DescriptionClermont-Ferrand is a university city in central France, bordered by the volcanic Chaîne des Puys mountains. Near the fountains and statues of Place de Jaude square are the Gothic Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption Cathedral, constructed from lava stone, and the Romanesque Basilica of Notre-Dame du Port, with mosaics. Northwest of the city is the volcano-themed Vulcania amusement park and museum with interactive shows. Voila
No idea..but its on their website if you wanted to count..ahem I lnged to go for years. It took me a bit after I moved her to get up and go. Now I wouldnt miss it for e world = total inspiration !!

Ahem...please look up Clermont-Ferrand on a map or in Google...very small and definitely quasi-rural.
