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.
