I woke up this morning in my cosy Northern Lights Cabin and looked out of the window to see the sun shining down on the far side of the river.

I went to Harriniva to see my guests. They were super excited as they were about to go out on a 17km Husky Safari. I was telling them all about our 420 dogs and their smiles got bigger the more I told them.

Nature's greatest light show

The Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights as they are more commonly known have left people spell bound for thousands of years. They epitomise the wonder of the natural world for many people and there can be few sights on Earth that are as awe-inspiring as seeing the Northern Lights dance across a northern sky.

The lights are visible in the all important Aurora Zone which cuts across Scandinavia and creates spectacular shows in the northern regions of Finland, Norway, Sweden and Iceland.

For many people to view the Northern Lights is a lifetime ambition and here at Artisan, we are thrilled that we can help our clients achieve their goal.

Céret which was once referred to as home by Picasso and Matisse is famous for its art and artists.

Located in South-West France close to the Spanish border and at the foot of the Pyrenees Mountains, Céret is a quaint little town. Here you will find characterful buildings, quirky art shops and charming cafés.

Céret which is often referred to as a haven for artists was given an added artistic boost when the Museum of Modern Art opened. Artists have flocked to the area to view the many famous paintings by Picasso and Matisse. It is not only these two artists who have frequented the area, others include Chagall, Dufy and Dalí who have all visited.
