The City Hall of Paris and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs offer a residents' programme at the Récollets International Accomodation and Exchange Center, a prestigious building inaugurated in 2003, located on the banks of the Canal Saint Martin.

The program concerns foreign writers and artists specialized in any discipline. Candidates must suggest a project that they'd like to develop during their residency. 1500 € per month is granted to each artist by the Ministère des Affaires étrangères. Pas mal...

The residency begins in January, in one of 6 studio/apartments, for a stay of 3 to 6 months.

More information will be made available on their site starting April 7, 2008. Applications are to be sent online.
