Penthouse with large terrace

My wife and I are passionate creatives, wearing multiple hats in the realms of art, photography, and art direction. Together, we form the photographer duo known as French Cowboy, and we are co-editors-in-chief of IRK Magazine. In addition to our artistic pursuits, I've carved a niche in product design, initially honing my craft alongside Stark, and now specializing in designing perfume bottles.

We live in the forest of Montmorency. Its a picturesque town about 25 minutes outside Paris. We have two boys 16 and 21 years old. Alongside them, I have two wonderful adult children, aged 28 and 31. And recently, our family welcomed a precious granddaughter, adding an extra layer of joy to our lives.

The historical center of Arles is a vibrant tapestry of cultural and aesthetic experiences that enrich one's life. The city's long-standing reputation as a haven for artists, exemplified by the presence of Vincent van Gogh during his most prolific period, speaks to its enduring allure. Its cobblestone streets, quaint squares, and majestic landscapes have inspired generations of creatives, offering an endless wellspring of artistic inspiration.

Moreover, the historical center of Arles holds the distinction of being a UNESCO World Heritage Site, showcasing a remarkable collection of Roman and medieval architecture meticulously preserved over the centuries. Living amidst this rich historical tapestry fosters a deep sense of connection to the past and an appreciation for the cultural heritage of the region.

Beyond its architectural splendor, the heart of Arles pulsates with a vibrant community life. Bustling markets, lively cafes, and a diverse array of cultural events and festivals infuse the streets with energy and vitality year-round.

Practicality meets charm in the historical center, where everyday conveniences are easily accessible within walking distance. From shops to restaurants, galleries to museums, everything one needs for daily life is conveniently located amidst the architectural wonders of Arles.

And then, there's the natural beauty that surrounds the city. The Camargue wetlands and the picturesque landscapes of Provence beckon just beyond the city limits, offering a sanctuary for outdoor recreation and exploration. Living in the historical center of Arles means having easy access to these stunning natural wonders, providing a harmonious balance between urban living and the tranquility of nature.

In essence, the historical center of Arles is about immersing oneself in a lifestyle that celebrates art, culture, community, and natural beauty in equal measure.

Our dream is to live in Arles and we finally bought a building that needed a lot of love, vision, and time to make it our dream project. Today we call one apartment Le Loup and the other Les Steppes after the name of the bookstore that used to be beneath it Le Loup des Steppes.

We spent 2 years scraping away at walls and floors. It was a great pleasure to discover the beauty hidden under old wallpaper and cement walls. We are now renting both of the apartments in the building. This is a big adventure for us.

Each apartment is warm and inviting and has the plus of offering an outdoor space. The walls expose our photography and you can find many objects from our travels throughout the apartments. Both apartments can be rented together for large groups or separately.
