Around La Renégate

Breathe. Create. Recharge.

Between the ocean and the pine forest of the Landes, La Renégate offers what a city studio can’t: space, silence and fresh air. You come here to produce, and you leave recharged.

Aerial view of a Landes beach: a surfer walks on the sand, board under the arm, along the waves

01
Breathe
Leave the city, the noise and the screens behind. Here, the first sound of the morning is the wind in the pines.
02
Recharge
A surf session, a walk in the forest, a bike ride: the body gets moving again and the mind clears.
03
Create
With space and time ahead of you, ideas come. You rehearse, you search, you try things out.
04
Produce
The studio and the stage are a few steps away. What is born during the day gets recorded and filmed that same evening.

Surf

Mornings in the water, afternoons in the studio.

The Landes coast is one of Europe’s great surf destinations, with beaches for beginners and experienced surfers alike. Between two work sessions, one surf is enough to put fresh energy into a project.
