MARQUIS PUBLICATIONS
How many times in your life have you considered leaving your structured life? cultural trappings? workday routine?
If you could re-write the script of your life, what destination would choose for your escape?
In 2005, California artist Marques Vickers and then wife Claudia and sold their northern California home, left established careers and uprooted to the French Midi, specifically the Languedoc-Roussillon region of southern France.
Their objective was to escape the frenetic pace of the San Francisco Bay Area and renovate ancient stone village houses.
