La Porte Peinte
Noyers sur Serein, France
Amazing residency in Noyers, a cute small village in France. The accommodation was great and the host went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. A great community with great French food. The residency included international artists with different styles which was great for my practice. We were provided with our own studios overlooking a beautiful quiet garden. It’s a great place to get away from the world and have the space to just create. Michele was amazing and supportive and provided valuable advice. Definitely recommend!

Overall it was a positive experience in every way.
Expect this to be a relatively independent art residency, with a gracious host (Michelle) and a beautiful setting with the best restaurants.
The experience at LPP is unsurpassed from many international residencies I have attended. The village is an inspiring center within rural Burgundy, with festivals, markets, music, and other interesting events throughout the summer. There are many creatives in the village from other parts of the globe. The studios, lovely kitchen and library are my favorite places to work and socialize with other residents. Bring your own supplies or ship them, be ready for the simple beauty and history of the place to infuse your practice and imagination. Enjoy authentic French village life—take walks, eat like a local, and let the church bells help you form a routine for making and recreating. This is a place I’ve returned to over several years. It inspires.
This place feels like home and a family to me now. Very cozy, absolutely stunning village, great community. Lovely, open and friendly people. If you are curious and friendly yourself, you'll find a refuge in this place.
