Tourouzelle, the name of our ville, means 'tous' lots and 'rouge' red...lots of red. In the Spring there are hundreds of poppies in the vineyards and fields. The French word for poppy is 'Coquelicot'.

So to now to answer the original question, 'Why are the bedrooms named after French artists?' We decided to pay tribute to the French artists who painted coquelicots (poppies). Hence the reason for choosing: Monet, Renoir and Delpy...though we will need to find another name for the last bedroom, once it has had a makeover!
