This weekend, at last, my voice came back! So this meant that I could go singing at La Maison Anglaise -hooray! It is a beautiful guest house(on Trip advisor), sustainably managed and run by local moroccan staff and owned by an english woman who considers Taroudant to be perfectly geographically placed for its climate and surroundings.
As well as singing some great songs and sharing a few laughs we finished the weekend with a trip to the Claudio Bravo museum 12 km from Taroudant, nestled in the foothills of the High Atlas mountains. It is a stunningly beautiful house and grounds with views that fair take your breath away! If you want an ideal and dream-like wedding venue (and happen to have lots of l-flus = money available!) then this would be your choice...here are some photos for you, so, get a cup of tea, sit back and enjoy!

Entrance to Claudio Bravo Museum
He was a Chilliean born artist(1936 - 2011)

He loved swimming- there were at least 3 huge pools situated in different parts of his grounds
this one was the largest and has spectacular views of the mountains.

Arriving in style!

He was a football fan

these paintings are strongly influenced by Salvador Dali, a contemporary artist of the same era

He also collected art - this is a painting by Francis Bacon
