Description

A 1920s manor house, fully renovated, set in a private 1500 m² garden with a basin, in the heart of the Champagne vineyards. The Maison Arbane offers a rare setting blending old-world charm with contemporary comfort: ideal for shoots needing authenticity, space and a real extra soul — far from standardized Paris lofts.

The venue lends itself equally to interior shots (bedrooms, living room, kitchen, dining room) as well as outdoor scenes in a leafy garden with basin, brazier and outdoor living spaces. Only 1h30 from Paris, the house allows day shoots without the logistical constraints of a location too peripheral.

Around the property, 30 minutes from the champagne houses of Reims and Épernay and in the heart of a living wine terroir, the place provides a natural backdrop for any project with a wine/champagne, terroir or art of living in French Champagne.

What the place offers 5 bedrooms with defined character; 4 bedrooms with double beds and one large room with 4 single beds. Minimalist décor that blends old-world charm with contemporary lines — ideal for intimate scenes, daily life or fashion shoots. A minimalist décor, designed as a neutral canvas The whole house leans toward sobriety rather than overloaded decoration. A real asset for productions that bring their own universe (furniture, accessories, color palette): no need to neutralize the venue before setting your own decor, which saves prep and installation time. Generous living spaces Fully equipped kitchen, living room and dining room designed for large gatherings: perfect for scenes of meals, sociability or culinary shoots. A 1500 m² garden as exterior backdrop Basin, brazier, pétanque area and ping-pong corner. A real outdoor playground to vary shots, moods and lights throughout the day. A unique viticultural anchor Located in the heart of the Champagne vineyards, near independent winemakers — a plus for any shoot related to wine, champagne or the French art of living in Champagne (tasting/vineyard visit option feasible as a supplement, to be organized separately). An 80 m² raw barn, raw-state décor Not renovated, it retains all its original charm: a plus for productions seeking an authentic, rustic or patinated setting (fashion, clip, 'nature/terroir' universe). To be offered as an additional space, without comfort or special equipment. Technical amenities Wi-Fi, dedicated workspace, television, free on-site private garage for equipment and technical vehicles.
