RBH JAZZ CAMP FRANCE
RBH Jazz Camps Director Roni Ben-Hur teams up with Chef Marie-Edith Mateo and owners of the unimaginably beautiful Mas de Varangle, Anne and Philippe Vandeventer, to offer a luxury getaway in the south of France for jazz lovers and learners.
The Music
Amidst the unbeatable backdrops and amenities detailed below, music is the focus. Under the masterful and nurturing guidance of Roni Ben-Hur, participants learn and practice in a small ensemble setting, culminating in a performance at the end of the week to showcase their work for members of the surrounding local communities.
This is a week you don't want to miss!

Accommodations
Mas de Varangle, a 16th Century castle converted into a stunning guest house, offers spacious private rooms with ensuite/private bathrooms, wonderful cross-breeze, breathtaking grounds surrounded by olive groves, and the most romantic outdoor swimming pool you’ll ever experience. Rooms have ample closet space and complimentary WiFi. There are many very special indoor and outdoor sitting areas throughout the property.
Meals
Meals are prepared by Michelin-starred Chef Marie-Edith Mateo, highlighting local produce, olive oils, and of course–French cheeses. Breakfast is served daily before class instruction begins, and most lunches and dinners are enjoyed under a covered outdoor area overlooking the pool and olive groves. A handful of meals will be offsite, with transportation provided. Eating at RBH Jazz Camp France is once-in-a-lifetime.
Group Excursions
Just minutes away is the ancient town of Uzès, boasting incredible walks along its historic streets, charming cafes and restaurants, an active castle with a living duchess, and their famous weekly market where you can find world-class Provencal treats and goods. Facilitated group outings include trips to Pont du Gard, the 2000 year old Roman Aqueduct; Nîmes, a modern town of ancient Roman ruins; Saint-Quentin-la-Poterie, famous for its artisan pottery (for purchase at dozens of shops, and which also adorns the streets and shops themselves); bike rides on stunning country roads; a canoe trip on the Gardon; and more awe-inspiring visits to Avignon, Arles, and Lussant.
