Application notesThe site is not ideal for young children due to the nature of the spaces (17th-century château is wooden and resonant) and ongoing artistic activities. Residency is closed in January and February. Artists participate in cleaning and maintenance as part of the self-managed model. For additional technical needs, artists are encouraged to bring specialized equipment or collaborate with permanent artists on-site.
