William Morris Society of Canada 12 day tour of Northern France

Why France?
William Morris adored France. Apart from England, he spent more time there than in any other country. Next June we will explore the countryside and Gothic architecture that, from the time of his early tours in 1854 and 1855, moved and influenced him profoundly.
