Studio

A place for creation, residency and sharing in the heart of nature
Bienvenue dans notre espace artistique en pleine nature.
Ici, musiciens, danseurs, écrivains et thérapeutes se réunissent, composent, explorent et partagent.
Au fil des saisons, enregistrements, résidences d’artistes, concerts, stages et ateliers animent ce lieu unique, pensé pour favoriser l’inspiration et donner libre cours à l’imagination et la recherche.
Pensé comme un véritable écosystème artistique, Studio Juillaguet offre des infrastructures professionnelles au cœur d’un environnement propice à l’exploration, à la recherche et à la production.
Le domaine s’ouvre sur un parc arboré, propice aux explorations sonores ou corporelles en extérieur.
De nombreux artistes choisissent d’y développer des installations in situ, des improvisations ou des moments de détente au contact direct de la nature.
Our philosophy

A local, eco-responsible base
Set in the heart of a preserved landscape, our space promotes environmentally friendly approaches. Here, every residence and every event is part of a sustainable vision: meals composed with neighboring producers, responsible resource management and a concern to limit our ecological impact.
Creating in harmony with the living world
Nestled in a preserved landscape, Studio Juillaguet has been restored using local and natural materials, following an environmentally conscious approach.
An agroecological vegetable garden and a collective compost nourish the soil and sustain a virtuous cycle. Meals — simple and flavorful — are prepared with locally sourced ingredients: producers from the markets of Salles-Lavalette or Villebois-Lavalette (10 min away), an organic craft brewery, a local organic bakery, and nearby growers. A cook can also prepare meals on request.
Everyday life here follows the principles of energy sobriety, recycling, reuse, and ecological care.
At Juillaguet, art unfolds with the rhythm of the seasons, in a continuous dialogue with nature and the surrounding land.
artist residencies

Fertile ground for artistic creation
Our site regularly welcomes artists of all disciplines : choreographers, performers, musicians, writers, visual artists... Each residency is set within its own timeframe in an exceptional setting.

Each residency is conceived as a time for research and freedom — to write, rehearse, experiment, produce, or simply let an idea mature.
We welcome artists from all disciplines — musicians, choreographers, writers, visual artists — for stays ranging from a few days to several weeks. Depending on the project, a residency may remain intimate or open to encounters with the public through concerts, readings, workshops, or exhibitions.
Support takes different forms: access to studios and recording facilities, technical assistance, artistic exchange, and connections with local partners — schools, associations, and festivals.
Studios

Spaces dedicated to music and dance
Our studios offer ideal working conditions. A recording studio that can accommodate large ensembles and a dance studio bathed in natural light, conducive to movement and creation. Here, inspiration comes from the combination of the surrounding silence and the acoustic and spatial quality of the space.
A spacious, flexible hall for dance, theatre, and music
A 100 m² space with a high-quality professional dance floor hosts rehearsals, choreographic residencies, theatre sessions, and group workshops. Bathed in natural light and open to the outdoors, it offers complete immersion in the creative process.
A recording studio with three distinct spaces
The studio includes three rooms (6 m², 30 m², and 100 m²) and a spacious control room, allowing for multiple recording configurations.
Its sonic qualities and excellent acoustics support a wide range of projects — from solo sessions to large ensembles — all connected to a 24-track control room for professional recording in optimal conditions.
Each project is reviewed individually to determine service pricing.
accommodation

Create in the heart of nature
Our accommodations are tailored to the needs of artists in residence, workshop participants and visitors. We offer bright, comfortable rooms or small independent units nestled in the greenery, with privacy, inviting views and immediate access to nature.
Accommodation designed for creation
Juillaguet welcomes artists, trainees, and visitors in a warm and functional setting.
- 7 comfortable, light-filled rooms, equipped with single or double beds, with shared or private bathrooms.
- 2 independent cabins nestled in the greenery, for those seeking privacy and full immersion in nature.
- Central heating ensures comfort and well-being in every season.
Living and sharing
Each resident can choose their own rhythm:
- Self-catering, to prepare meals with local products from the Villebois-Lavalette market, the organic bakery, or the nearby craft brewery.
- Or opt for friendly catering, highlighting simple and tasty dishes made from organic and seasonal ingredients.
The park as an extension of the studio
The accommodations open onto a vast wooded park, ideal for relaxation, walking, meditation, or outdoor workshops and rehearsals.
Terraces and shared spaces encourage encounter, exchange, and conviviality among artists and visitors.




Concerts, shows, workshops and much more
Throughout the year, our artistic space is enriched by concerts, live shows and exhibitions, as well as workshops in dance, qi gong, meditation retreats and holistic therapies. See our agenda below and book your seats or sessions online to enjoy the full experience.
