Welcome to La Brousse

The place called “La Brousse” is situated in rural France, in l’Auvergne. Built in 1150, the sleeping village today holds 900 years of history.

The inhabitants are gone but the beautiful Roman church, sheepfold, bread oven and barn still stand today.

I am very attached to the place, with a soft spot for the church named “Sainte-Foy de la Brousse”. As its keeper, I feel it is my duty to preserve it and give it a purpose.

I am therefore managing two different projects, although their intentions are so entwined, they can’t be dissociated from each other.

Opening La Brousse to “Artists in Residency” and “Restoring the Church”

Away from the “monumental” “extraordinaire” “luxurious”, the process is humble, genuine and authentic to the place.
