RESIDENCIES and RETREATS

“For masterpieces are not single and solitary births; they are the outcome of many years of thinking in common, of thinking by the body of the people, so that the experience of the mass is behind the single voice.”
Virginia Woolf
A Room of One's Own, 1929

L'Heure Bleue offers a place for retreats, ateliers and seminars.
These can vary from 1:1 offerings to small-scale retreats.

Groups are welcome up to 8 people within the house. However, there are options to rent extra accommodation nearby to accommodate more people. Depending on the time of year, the stay could be from 3 days up to 3 weeks.

Offerings are welcomed by proposal.
