Chateau d'Orquevaux offers a respite from "real" world  energy.  This magnificent estate in the French countryside of Champagne-Ardenne offers artists a place with limited distraction and an abundance of natural  inspiration.   

​

The residency is creatively self-motivated with most of the meals provided, so that artists can fully immerse themselves in the environment and the French country lifestyle. There will be about 15 artists-in-residence at a time.

 

Artists are provided a private studio and a private bedroom with a shared bath. Linens and towels are provided as well as light housekeeping.  

The Chateau will be lightly provisioned.

Upon arrival a champagne dinner reception will offer an introduction to other artists in residence and an orientation of The Chateau, Parc and Studio spaces. 

​

Other then having  some vegetarian choices we are unable to cater to any special food needs.
