For nearly two centuries, the mas where it all began has stood here, rooted in Saint-Paul-de-Vence.
In 1999, the Leroy family 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 Belgium and Provence. They are artists. They saw the world. Then they came back. They are known as the Leroy Brothers.
Slowly, the place evolved. Without rupture. Without losing itself. A place to live, open and essential. A family. A home. An artwork that is lived in.
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.
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, working on their own artworks. 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
An afternoon that slides into evening. An artwork 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.
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 artwork 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.
Each winter, November through March
L’Écrivain
A writer in residence.
In winter, someone arrives. Not to teach. Not to produce anything defined. To write.
In a suite, a few days, sometimes two weeks. Time ahead. The light, the silence. Toile Blanche does not intervene.
The form matters little. Novel, essay, criticism, film.
What matters is the relationship to language. Strong enough that others want to be near it.
The evening decides.
November through March, weekdays only
Le Séminaire
A working retreat for leadership groups
The environment in which a group thinks determines the quality of what it produces. This is the premise of Le Séminaire.
Between November and March, Toile Blanche opens to small leadership groups for two to four days of serious work. Up to sixteen people, one suite each, weekdays only.
The working sessions take place in Mas de l’Artiste, the oldest building at Toile Blanche, configured around a long table in a two-hundred-year-old mas. The room has stone walls, original beams, and an artwork from the collection on the wall. The environment is not incidental to the thinking. It is part of it.
Mornings are for work. Afternoons belong to Toile Blanche. The Leroy Brothers join for a drink before dinner on the first evening, if the group wishes. What happens after that is up to the group.
