Art Studio for Rent in the Picturesque South of France

Located in the breathtaking south of France. Available from April through September (other dates negotiable), this space is perfect for artists (and teachers) of all disciplines seeking a retreat to focus on their work.

The studio is NOT for living in, but we do have an apartment with a pool across the street that may be available at additional cost. (last 3 photos)
