Travel helpers:
“Presents art, architecture and history in a way in which it finally makes sense! His explanation of all of the marvelous things we saw, including the landscape, was perfect and to the point. Excellent! Wonderful! Brilliant! Thank you for changing my life. I see the world of design differently now thanks to you.” Philip A. Ruggieri, R.A. (Turnersville, New Jersey)
“Jean made history, architecture, & décor meaningful! Although I’ve taken courses in art, architecture, history and design, they never came alive and blended together like they did in this presentation. This is the only way design should be presented! Everything I have ever read or learned previously now has meaning. I can truly understand the purpose and intent of interior design and architecture as it relates to the French regions of Burgundy and Provence. I will attend every class Jean gives that I can afford the time and money to go to – it’s worth it. I realize now how much there is to learn. This course has made me want to be a better designer and to educate others about interior design.”
Sherry Ruggieri, ASID (Turnersville, New Jersey) She & her husband took two tours to Europe and one seminar.
Learned more in one week than a regular college semester. Looking forward to doing it again!
Karen Sundeen, Clearwater, Florida
“The best was the comprehensive/extensive presentation of history and architecture. The architectural universities should seek his professional knowledge and services.
Thomas G. Albers, Apopka, FL. (Went on two tours)
“Our tour guides were outstanding, polite, knowledgeable well spoken and gave us the opportunity to participate in tours to architect’s offices, city planning offices and historic sites that we probably would not have been able to see. Two university professors stood out. The opening remarks by a survivor of the communist system and Professor Scheploff’s view of architecture. This was an opportunity to see Central Europe, its history, architecture, decorative arts and local culture. For this we thank you.”
Thomas.F. Cole, C+R Achitects, Cincinnati, about a tour to Prague, Vienna and Budapest.
“Course ranks significantly better than others of its kind due to instructor’s vast, brilliant and insightful knowledge of all subjects, enabling him to address specific topics in depth… An unforgettable experience to be treasured for the rest of one’s life!”
Brenda Hutchins, Winston-
“The best feature… the instructor’s vast knowledge. The worst… it wasn’t a month long. Don’t change a thing! It’s fantastic!”
Marcello Luzi, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Went on three tours.
“Just a note to express my sincere gratitude for the most enjoyable and educational trip that I have taken. Having taken other similar tours, I can truly say yours is the greatest and was the most organized and best use of time anyone could possibly expect. I would highly recommend this tour to any designer. It was certainly time well spent. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, and your concern and interest that all members of the trip were informed and well treated.”
Michael J Parenti, ASID, IDS, President, Omni Interiors, Inc., N. Palm Beach, Florida
“It isn't only that you carefully plan each day's visits to the various places of interest but that you made it your business to know so much about them and the way they fit into history, both ancient and contemporary. As you told of each garden or area or building and the people who created them, I began to feel your enthusiasm growing and then I felt it spilling over into me......
Thanks, Jean, for an especially fine visit to France.” Mr. Sam Coward, ASID, Sarasota, Florida
“Nancy and I wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed the trip to Provence and Paris. This trip ranks with the best vacation trips we ever taken. Your direction and "lectures" bridged the cultural gaps that existed before the trip. Your choice of hotels, cafes and restaurants was superb. This trip was a perfect blend of seeing new sights, experiencing a new culture and language, enjoying good food, and learning a lot in the meantime. Our preconceived ideas of France and the French were completely changed for the best. Please keep us on your list of future trips.” Mr. & Mrs. R. Cota, Sarasota, Florida
“The trip to France with you was the best trip we ever made. You certainly went
out of your way to make everyone happy. Your planning, knowledge and wit made it
a all an unforgettable experience. We haven't developed the accent yet, but as we
put on some pounds during the trip, we are now both partly French” Barbara & Kaj
Marc-
“We feel particularly fortunate to have had you as our personal guide for the trip... I admit I learned more about art and architecture, ancient and modern, than I have ever had the opportunity to learn before.... Thanks again for a lovely trip.”
Mr. and Mrs. W. Pickle, Sarasota
