It is the dream of so many who take the pen to the page to go on a peaceful, scenic writer’s retreat. The South of France is a perfect place to indulge that fantasy.
With the combination of beautiful topography, exquisitely prepared food and an array of haven-like accommodations, it makes for an inspiring scenario to work on a book or thesis. And, as it attracts artists of all stripes — painters, photographers, etc. — you’re likely to meet like-minded others
along the way.
If it’s isolation you desire, think about Upper Provence as a destination. Or perhaps some parts of the Luberon. If you require more of a buzz, something livelier, consider Aix en Provence, Avignon or the French Riviera.
New York Habitat can help make your stay exactly what you want it to be, the productive but sweet getaway you’ve been envisioning for so long. Our villas and apartments in that region range from spacious to cozy, from long-term to
short-term, and have all kinds of conveniences to meet your needs.
Imagine letting your words flow in an environment that brings you joy and tranquility. Imagine making your writing dream a reality. Imagine.

I am a writer working on a book and I am very interested in exploring writing retreats and workshops, especially in Europe. It’s a great way to get to know a region of the world while also devoting time to my craft. Thanks for these suggestions!
Are New York Habitat’s accommodations available long-term and short-term? I’m not sure how long I can get away.

Do you do exchanges also? For instance, I own a 3-bedroom, 3-bath townhouse in Hampton, VA. I’d like to exchange homes for 1-2 months during the summer with a reliable person. Also, I’m interested in staying in Carry le Rouet, France for 1-2 weeks, in Jan., 2009 or 1 month possibly June 2009. Can you help me? sb

Hi Shonda,
Unfortunately we don’t do exchanges as of now. If you would like help finding an apartment in France let me know and I would be happy to have one of our agents send out some proposals.
Let me know

Yes Luberon is defetinely very “empty/quiet”!! I was there last november with some friends and it is very different that the busy/lively French Riviera. I would like to back during summer time to see how is everything!!
