Provenance — 2004–2026
Seven houses,
grown into one.
Assembled over twelve years from neighbouring properties in Saint-Paul de Vence — each building with its own history, its own light, its own place in the gardens.

The Brothers
Nicolas, Gilles, and Gregory Leroy are the creative force behind Toile Blanche. Hailing from Belgium, the three brothers joined forces in 1997 to form an artistic collective. At Toile Blanche, their vision takes on a new dimension: they welcome resident artists, their works adorn the suites, and their sculptures flourish in the gardens.
Toile Blanche runs a quiet cultural programme throughout the season. Most of it happens without announcement.
The Story
One by one, from neighbours who became friends, they converted each building into suites, connected them with gardens, and filled the walls with art. The result is 22 rooms, two restaurants, and something that is genuinely difficult to categorise.
The pool is warm. The rosé is cold. The art will make you stop and think, and then you will go back to the pool. This is the point.
A home away from home — for people who have exceptional homes.
Strategy — Net-Zero 2030
In 2026, Toile Blanche was declared a work by the artists. It continues to operate normally, but with the added weight of an archival responsibility. Our goal is net-zero 2030 — ensuring that the Provençal memory persists for another two centuries. We prioritize local ingredients, maintain our gardens without pesticides, and partner with Hotels for Trees to preserve the landscape that shelters this work.
Enter the canvas.
