We keep our rates as accessible as possible to be able to accept artists and writers at all stages in their careers.
We accept residents on a variety of “formulas.”
It’s possible to stay for several months, either on
- a paid retreat basis (click on the rooms above for rates).
- a partial barter (minimum four-week stay, 500 Euros per month).
- residencies and fellowships.
In regards to paid retreats we also offer reductions in the off-season and for extended stays. Extended-stay discounts even apply to July and August when booked 6 months in advance. These are amazing rates for summer accommodations in the south of France.
Please check individual rooms for specifics.

The Muse
Erato is the Muse of lyric poetry. In the Orphic hymn to the Muses, it is Erato who charms the sight.
Seemingly, anyone named after the muse can often be mistaken for an angel because of their beautiful appearance and loving personality.
