La Maison de Beaumont

As another reviewer mentioned, this was a very isolating experience. If you don't have your own transportation, you can start to feel trapped—and there's so much natural beauty in the area that you miss out on because you're just stuck. The art studio is quite small. When I was there, another artist basically took up the whole thing with enormous canvases, so I didn't get to use the area. Each completed piece I posted was met with a message from the owner telling me they hoped to receive something "as beautiful" at the end of my stay—it felt like they were constantly reminding me that I owed them a piece of art for the residency. I will add that the apartment was lovely, and I enjoyed all of the village cats, but I wouldn't return here.
