Retreat Structure
La Muse is a self-service establishment. The house is informal and comfortable, but a structure exists with the purpose of vigorous work and focus on a creative project. That structure consists of the house guidelines, which the hosts ask each resident to consult before applying and to consent to before agreeing to attend. The purpose of these guidelines is to support a true retreat from life back home.
2 studios. The smaller studio is presently being renovated. The larger studio is a big space with lighting, electricity, and hot and cold water.
La Muse retreat is as much a machine-free house as possible to enable you to clear your mental desktops and find peace and inspiration through discipline and some seclusion. The point is to disconnect in order to connect.
The house is located in a secluded, very quiet village with no distractions, save people, nature and the good food you are bound to enjoy in France. A stay here feels like a step back in time with the neighboring octogenarians still practicing subsistence farming in their retirement. The village, Labastide Esparbairenque, is situated in the Black Mountains, Montagne Noire, of the Aude region of Languedoc Roussillon in the south of France.
