Accommodation
The courses take place at La Remise in the little
village of Puimichel, situated in the pre-Alps of the
Provence in Southern France. There are not many places in the world
where the contrasts are greater than in Provence. Until
1982 "La Remise" was a ruin of an old barn. Living
conditions happily improved over the years and a thorough renovation
became possible with the help of the Fund for Regional Development
of the European Union. "La Remise" is a simple
residence but much appreciated for its warm welcome and friendly
informal atmosphere. For those who can accept a simple
residence, La Remise offers accomodation. There
are rooms with shared washing and toilet facilities, plus two rooms
with individual facilities. Students of the painting courses stay in
the art center together with the artist in full board... Wine,
water, coffee and tea are served with the meals and are included in
the price. A hotel is situated at 5 km from Puimichel for
those who prefer such facilities. There is also the possibility of
renting a gite.
