Pipedreams Tour 2010
Southern France May 9—20
From Provence to the Pyrenees…think of it, springtime in the south of France, visiting the picturesque cities of Marseille, Aix-en-Provence, Avignon, Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert, Carcassonne and Toulouse, enjoying the splendid surroundings of historic churches and cathedrals while also listening to and (if you wish, playing) extravagant pipe organs!
