French property in the Normandy area could allow fans of the Impressionist style of painting to enjoy their passion up close for the first time.
The first Normandie Impressionniste festival is to feature light shows and firework displays, bringing the artistic style to life.
More conventional exhibitions of paintings, photography and live performances of theatre and dance are also due to take place during summer 2010.
French property in Rouen or Cherbourg could also allow those staying in the region to enjoy an exhibition of works by Maxence Rifflet that is spanning the two destinations.
The celebration of Impressionism has been planned jointly by individuals in the Normandy region, along with local cultural institutions.
Regional tourism organisation Normandie Tourisme notes that there are other attractions for animal-lovers, rather than art-lovers.
Staying in eco-lodges at Cerza Zoo for a night or two allows individuals the chance to wake up surrounded by "exotic animals", the tourism group says.
