Chapelle Cottage is a sweet 2-bedroom cottage right next door to our retreat and the village chapel.
The cottage has a spacious modern kitchen, new appliances, and all the amenities and pleasantries: washer, dryer, dishwasher, a warm fireplace and views of the valley from the sitting room and the upstairs bedrooms.
This cottage is ideal for a couple; a family; two couples; or two individuals collaborating on a project.
Internet is accessed by using the Living Library or studio.
Both bedrooms have a double bed with new mattresses and bedding.
One of the rooms is slightly smaller and doesn’t have a desk.
There is a desk in the sitting room intended for the resident of this room.
The larger of the two rooms has a desk in it, and the person renting this room would be presumed to work at the desk.
When the house is rented by a couple it is possible to create a 1 BR with a separate work space (so, 1 BR, 1 workroom, living room, kitchen, one shower, one toilet).
Terrace
Chapelle Cottage also has a large, very private, wooden, sunny terrace space right on the valley.
The “remise,” as it is called, is walled-in on two and a half sides.
The open sides face the valley, and the walls give the patio a great sense of seclusion.
A portion of this space is covered by a roof, so it’s possible to sit either in the sun or in the shade.
Cottage residents are included in La Muse gatherings, and are welcome to use the common spaces (living library, terrace, studio) as they wish.

We keep our rates as accessible as possible to be able to accept artists and writers at all stages in their careers.
We accept residents on a variety of “formulas.”
It’s possible to stay for several months, either on
- a paid retreat basis (click on the rooms above for rates).
- a partial barter (minimum four-week stay, 500 Euros per month).
- residencies and fellowships.
In regards to paid retreats we also offer reductions in the off-season and for extended stays. Extended-stay discounts even apply to July and August when booked 6 months in advance. These are amazing rates for summer accommodations in the south of France.
Please check individual rooms for specifics.
