    Description

    We recently moved into a former mill near Nantes (44). This place in addition to being a shared habitat is a place with an artistic vocation to receive concerts, internships, visual artists, exhibitions... we are non-profit. Its setting is conducive to creation: close to the banks of the Loire (and the Loire by bike route), the old mill is not yet isolated (future work) and is gradually becoming workshops (4 levels of 50m2) for the inhabitants of the place or for an artist in residence... everything is still to grow... the place was made according to ecological choices. 10 minutes by car there is Mauves station (and then train in 12 minutes to Nantes with a tram ticket, urban transport). Le Moulin is in the middle of the vineyards, in height and on its terrace the landscape is as far as the eye can see. village with all the necessary 3kms. Our goal is not for profit but to be able to make live a place of exchanges, creation, life together.

    Nous sommes depuis peu installés dans un ancien moulin- minoterie près de Nantes (44). Ce lieu en plus d' être un habitat partagé est un lieu à vocation artistique pour recevoir des concerts, stages, artistes plasticiens, expos... nous sommes à vocation non lucrative. Son cadre est propice à la création : proche des bords de Loire ( et du parcours la loire à velo), l' ancienne minoterie n' est pas encore isolee ( travaux futurs) et devient peu à peu des ateliers ( 4 niveau de 50m2) pour les habitants du lieu ou pour un artistes en residence... tout est encore à faire grandir... le lieu a été realisé selon des choix ecologiques . A 10 minutes en voiture il y a la gare de Mauves ( et ensuite train en 12 minutes jusqu'à Nantes avec un billet de tramway, transport urbain). Le Moulin est au milieu des vignes, en hauteur et sur sa terrasse le paysage est à perte de vue. village avec tout le nécessaire à 3kms. Notre but n est pas à vocation lucrative mais de pouvoir faire vivre un lieu d' échanges, de création, de vie ensemble.
