Frequently Asked questions about the workshop in Morocco
- Is Morocco safe for tourists?
Yes, this is a country where you will have no security concerns. Our itinerary is well marked and we will always be accompanied by local guides. Tourists who in the past have been attacked, have ventured to places where even Moroccans would not dare to go. So leave without fear: for my part I feel much more in danger at the Gare de Lyon than in the middle of the palm grove!
-How many participants will there be in the course?
Rest assured, we will be a small group! The course is confirmed as soon as there are 6 registered participants and we can go up to 12, even 15 at most. A small group allows the teacher to have time with everyone; beyond that it is more difficult ... Finally, know that it is possible to come accompanied by your spouse or your children. The accompanying persons benefit from all the visits, but pay a little less because they do not do the workshop.
- - The meeting point is in Casablanca, Marrakech directly. What time should you arrive 12H00

- Which notebook to choose?
An A5 or A4 size notebook, with pages thick enough to make watercolors (200g minimum). Portrait or landscape, whatever pleases you! Above all, think that you will take it everywhere you go during the workshop so you have to like it and inspire you…
