Details
Description
We are an association based next to Paris in a small village called St Cyr sur Morin. After 3 years of construction, we opened art residencies in a big house in the countryside. It s a multidisciplinary place, hosting artist and volunteers to do some projects and take care of the house, garden and animals.
We are two founders, Faustine and Armand, and there is more active members/friends in the association, like Emma and Charlotte at the moment. We are not always in the house at the same time, but there is always poeple passing, making a vibrant place!

Accommodation
You will stay in our guesthouse, attached to the main house where we live. You will have your own bedroom and shared bathroom, living room and kitchen. For food, we don't have to eat together, you can be independant in the second kitchen, but if you feel like sharing some meals with us, would be a pleasure!
We can provide food, there is also a big supermarket and some farms around if you want to buy anything
What else ...
If you have any allergies with animals, may be it s not the best spot for you, we have 2 cats, 2 dogs, and chickens. The house is located 10min (by car) far from the city (closest station, all the shops you need..), and the center of our village is 2km far, you will only find a church, post office, bakery and pub. Around is only wood, sometimes we go swimming to the river, but we have to go by car.
We split the month between Armand and Faustine (the owners) to make sure there is always someone at home. We both have jobs, so we go half of the time working outside one at a time.
