Toile Blanche, Saint Paul de Vence

La Vie Ici

Life at Toile Blanche, across every season

La Vie Ici,

La Vie Ici is not defined as programming.

It follows neither a strict calendar nor an events-industry logic.

It unfolds in a more organic rhythm, tied to the seasons, to who is present, and to a particular idea of hospitality.

Toile Blanche offers a range of formats — stays, residencies, and gatherings — that share one intention: to live well, in a place conceived and built with care.

The mas has stood here for nearly two centuries, rooted in Saint-Paul-de-Vence.

In 1999, Nadine and Dany found it. They did not come to change it, but to reveal what it already was. Three rooms opened, simply. A home, before anything else.

Their sons, Gregory, Gilles, and Nicolas, grew up between the North and Provence. They became artists. Saw the world. Then came back to build the version of Toile Blanche you are looking at now. They are the Leroy Brothers.

Toile Blanche has grown, without rupture, without losing itself. A place to live, open and essential. A family. A home. A work of art that is lived in.

Nadine · Dany · Gregory · Gilles · Nicolas · Caroline · Tahnee · Alexis · Agathe · Marius · Isaac

What follows is not a programme.

It is the life of a place, across seasons, presences, silences, and shared moments.

Some things can be booked. Others reveal themselves through conversation. Others come only by invitation.

Whatever brings you here, you are welcome, not as a spectator, but as someone who was there.

The cultural circuit

RAD/ART

Saint-Paul-de-Vence holds an unusual concentration of contemporary art. Foundations, galleries, independent spaces, a circuit you can walk in forty-five minutes, simply.

In 2026, the Leroy Brothers created RAD/ART, Rendez-Vous Actuel d’Art. A living guide. Exhibitions, openings, and the moments that mark the life of the village across the year.

Every guest at Toile Blanche has access to it. A way of finding your bearings, without anything being imposed.

Four times a year · spring · summer · autumn · winter

La Semaine

Four times a year, spring, summer, autumn, winter, the Leroy Brothers welcome a small number of guests. Collectors, amateurs, artists, attentive travellers. Five days, at their own pace.

You arrive on Wednesday. You leave on Sunday. Your own suite. Time.

One evening during the week, the Leroy Brothers share the table with their guests. Nothing is imposed in a house conceived as a work of art from its very first day.

What La Semaine includes

Breakfast, every morning.

Served at table, at your time.

Discovery of the place and its collection. A walk through the village galleries.

One organised visit, Fondation Maeght and Fondation CAB. A few galleries. At your own pace.

One evening, a longer table for dinner with the Leroy Brothers and other guests.

Spring, April, May

Toile Blanche wakes. After Art Basel Hong Kong, the return to Europe.

You arrive open. Ready to look at things slowly.

Summer, late June, July

La Semaine settles into the season. It does not interrupt it.

It finds its place at the heart of summer.

Autumn, October, November

After the fairs. After seeing too much, too quickly.

You arrive saturated. You leave with a sharper eye.

Winter, January, February

Toile Blanche draws inward. Quieter, more intimate.

For those who know, it is the most honest time, the most intense.

And spring comes again.

Rate: From €4,000 per suite, five nights, inclusive. Direct booking only.

November through March, long stay, by arrangement

L’Atelier

A long stay, made for work.

Between November and March, when the season fades, Toile Blanche opens its doors to a small number of guests.

Writers, architects, composers, curators. Each arrives with a project, a need for silence, beauty, and time.

L’Atelier is a long stay, two weeks minimum, in the same suite throughout.

Breakfast. The restaurant.

The Leroy Brothers are here, engaged in their own work. The proximity is real, in shared moments, in conversations that emerge without ever being arranged.

Minimum two weeks, same suite throughout · From €2,500 per suite per week, inclusive · Direct booking only

Twice yearly, February and November

Vignes Vivantes

Twice a year, Isabelle Legeron MW, founder of RAW WINE and one of the most respected voices in natural wine, comes to Toile Blanche for four days.

She brings wines that are alive. Not a selection, but a vision.

The bottles open slowly. So do the conversations.

For four days, wine moves, between glasses, around the table, in the light of the place.

Moments to taste. A dinner that extends. A morning in the vines, with the people who work the land.

Nothing didactic. Nothing to prove.

Only a shared attention, to gesture, to time, to what is made with conviction.

At Toile Blanche, wine is not a subject. It is a way of seeing.

The four days

Thursday evening

Arrival. A first glass.

A simple moment, informal. Time to settle.

Friday, Session I

A tasting built around a question, never around an origin.

In the evening, dinner at Le Restaurant. The conversation continues, naturally, at the table.

Saturday, Session II

Morning, the vines. With a producer Isabelle knows.

Not a cellar visit. A presence, in the vineyard. A conversation, in the middle of the landscape.

In the evening, a long table. Everyone together. The Brothers are there.

Sunday, Session III

Four wines revisited with renewed attention. Tasted again, differently.

Lunch at La Guinguette. Then a departure, reluctantly.

Four nights, Thursday to Sunday · From €3,500 per suite, inclusive of all sessions and Saturday dinner · Eight guests maximum

Several times a year, open to all

Les Sessions

Art, music.

Several times a year, in spring, in summer, at the moment when the seasons shift, Toile Blanche opens wider.

The circles expand.

Artists, musicians, neighbours, collectors, friends, strangers passing through, presences mix without hierarchy.

An afternoon that slides into evening. A work that appears. A musician who plays. A table that lengthens. You arrive, you move through, you stay. Conversations begin, cross, continue elsewhere.

Les Sessions began in 2024. It is the most open thing we do. The most free, also.

Dates and upcoming sessions at toileblanchecontemporary.com

Once a year, January or February

L’Artiste Invité

One artist. One month. One work that stays.

Each winter, the Leroy Brothers invite one artist to come to Toile Blanche for a month.

The artist has full use of Toile Blanche. They work as they need to work, in the suite, in the grounds, in the studio by arrangement. The Brothers are present but not directive. The relationship develops as it develops.

At the end of the stay, one work enters the permanent collection. It is installed and it remains. Future guests encounter it without being told its story, until they ask. The asking is the beginning of the conversation the invitation set in motion months earlier.

Two or three times each winter, November through March

L’Écrivain

A writer in residence at Toile Blanche

Two or three times each winter, a writer comes to stay.

Not to teach. Not to perform. Not to produce anything in particular. To work on whatever they are working on, in a suite at Toile Blanche, for ten days or two weeks, in the company of a place that takes seriously what it means to make something.

The writer is invited personally by the Leroy Brothers. The category does not matter, novelist, essayist, critic, architect, filmmaker. What matters is that their relationship with language is serious enough that other people want to be near it.

If a La Semaine gathering happens to be in residence at the same time, the writer is welcome at the table. They decide on the night.
