About the venue

Just 30 minutes from Reims, in the heart of the Champagne region, this is a guest house with character that can be fully privatised, ideal for all your professional photo shooting, video shooting, digital content creation or audiovisual production needs.

With its multiple interior settings, light-filled garden and renovated barn, the house is a complete photo shoot venue, designed to adapt to all types of projects.

Varied spaces for multiple shoots

The house offers a variety of spaces, both indoors and outdoors, to meet the needs of photographers and videographers:

🔸 Indoor spaces

- Bright, elegantly decorated lounge: ideal for lifestyle, editorial or corporate shoots.

The house's blue lounge is an atypical and warm venue ideal for organising your lifestyle, fashion, editorial or corporate shoots. This space, bathed in natural light, offers a unique blend of art deco charm and retro ambience.

The soft, luminous powder pink walls create a soothing atmosphere. The meticulous décor features a large window opening directly onto the garden, flooding the room with natural light and opening up views of the greenery.

The spirit of the bistro is fully embraced here: small antique tables, mismatched chairs, old-fashioned metal light fittings and vintage decor punctuated by authentic objects create a setting that is welcoming, elegant and informal.

Each room combines antique furniture, selected textiles, antique objects and vintage details to create a warm and inspiring ambience.
