Just under seventy kilometres south of Paris lies the small town of Grez-sur-Loing, situated right on the banks of the River Loing. On Rue Wilson, just as it was 150 years ago, stands Hôtel Chevillon, where a great number of international artists have lived and worked for extended periods.

Today, it serves as a guesthouse with apartments and studios for artists, writers, and academics who stay and work here either through a scholarship or at their own expense. The atmosphere in and around Hôtel Chevillon is peaceful and stimulating, fostering inspiration and a strong desire to work.

Here, one can find tranquillity for creative work.
