ReCreatioN Nation lives inside a beautiful old silk factory in the mountains of southern France. Built originally for heavy production rather than domesticity, the grand scale remains: concrete floors, raw wooden beams, high ceilings, and generous rooms with real volume.
The building sits inside a protected UNESCO World Heritage valley, surrounded entirely by deep green forest, small stone villages, and clear mountain waters. It is an architecture designed for real family life—simple, generous, and completely unhurried.
Families live in spacious vintage, industrial apartments throughout the building. Shared life just outside your door.
See Accommodation OptionsA bright, open room where daily life gathers naturally for morning coffee, afternoon making and evening music
A dedicated, silent environment offering long wooden tables, excellent coffee, fast connectivity and quiet conversation. Apartments remain intentionally "Wi-Fi light" to preserve the home as a sanctuary for rest, while the co-working space acts as the dedicated adult space to connect with the outside world.
Naturalistic, outdoor living spaces - curated for free play, family fun and connection. A grassy meadow, outdoor mud kitchen, terraced gardens, a stone-walled Kitchen Garden supplying our kitchen with seasonal fresh homegrown produce. An abundance of fruit trees, wildflowers and herbs on your doorstep. Hidden waterfalls and forest tracks to explore right outside the door.
