Here’s a wee excerpt:
Writing and Photograph by Céline Larigaldie. Translation by Google and Julia (sorry!)
Far from a luxury holiday resort, this couple wants to create a workspace in Nerac for visitors from afar.
Writers, photographers, painters … A couple of Scots want to open a place dedicated to them all in 2017.
Colin Usher and Julia Douglas fell in love with Nérac a year ago, during a journey in search of the place of their dreams. The Scottish couple, in their forties from Edinburgh, left four months ago, a van packed with their belongings and their two dogs under their arm: “We made a small Brexit before Brexit! But, please note, we are Scottish, not British! “. now living in Albret, they have a well-defined project in mind, which they have developed and are now trying to achieve at pace.
…
Colin Usher and Julia Douglas want to share their love for this region with creative people “it is very welcoming, with a special atmosphere,”… Their future artists’ residence already has a name, Studio Faire: a pun that involves the determination of two young people to realize their dream, but also their willingness to allow others to make [faire], to create. The Studio is expected to open in summer 2017 to welcome its first resident artists. Before then Colin Usher and Julia Douglas have much work to do! They have launched a crowdfunding campaign to balance their budget to fund this major project: https://studiofaire.fr/.
