We are makers

Imagine un endroit où tu puisses créer. Un lieu artistique et innovant dans un environnement rural, où tu es libre d'explorer, créer, te ressourcer où tout simplement être.

Imagine, a place where you can create, where imagination and friendlyness go hand in hand. Where you are free to explore, whether you're a creative, innovator or artist.

Come join us and create your own world.

Stel je voor een plek in het groen, waar fantasie en vriendelijkheid hand in hand gaan. Een plek om te experimenteren. Voor creatieven, uitvinders of artiesten.

OUR MISSION

Créer un lieu artistique et imaginaire dans un environnement rural ou chacun travaille sur ses projets personnels tout en étant entouré d'autres créateurs. Ici les animaux font partie de la famille.

---

To create a place in a rural environment where makers from different backgrounds unite. Everyone his own place to stay and work but with other creators at walking distance. Not online, not half an hour drive away, not imaginary, but next door. Where animals are part of the family and kids can grow up in a friendly, inclusive and imaginary place.

---

Een plek in het groen waar 'makers' uit verschillende richtingen samenkomen. Ieder zijn eigen werkplek maar met andere 'makers' op loopafstand.

What if, there would be a place, where ‘makers’ from different backgrounds unite. A place where you can be you, surrounded by nature.

WHAT créatives sAY

PIANO

“I recorded several new pieces during my stay here. The combination of doing physical work on the land during the day and playing the piano in the evening helped me compose"

Hans Vermunt

“For the first time I was alone in nature without being afraid. Here you can be alone without feeling isolated. The beautiful scenery is a perfect decor for filming”

Cecile Janvier

-videomaker & musician-

INTERNET

“As a designer, good Internet is important for me. I 've overcome my fear for horses in a very natural way. This place is unique and I hope to come again some day soon”

ORGANIZATION & Tarifs

Organization

Les Sauges wants to be an easily accessible and self-organised space. We are a very simple organization and we like to keep it that way. This means, no regular meetings, no staff, hardly any rules or guidelines. If needed decisions are taken based on concensus where one voice equals one vote and no-one being really against the (to be) taken decision. If you have an idea or you want to do something that is alligned with the project it is almost always ok, as long as you can organise and execute it yourself.

Tarifs

Prices are 15,- euro per night (or 350,- per month) if you bring your own sleeping facility like campervan or caravan and 20,- per night if you sleep in one of our accomodations. It does not include meals. If you are completely autonome and do not need the facilities like toilet, hot shower or shared kitchen and want to stay longer, you can rent a 'place' for 250,- per month.

Les Sauges is a private initiative and is not sponsored or subsidised.

Internal rules

To make it happen for all we work with only 2 basic rules:

1. Everything is allowed as long as it does not bother others (including animals).

2. Leave no traces in the shared area's; clean behind you when you are not using it. If you have a dog it is your responsibility to get rid of the droppings.
