The Dora Maar House
In 1997, Nancy B. Negley purchased the former residence of Dora Maar. In a five-year effort, she rehabilitated and updated this spacious eighteenth-century, four-story stone residence in the village of Ménerbes. Her goal was to make it a retreat for scholars, artists, and writers, where they could work undisturbed on their research, art, or writing, for one to two months.
Here outstanding mid-career professionals are offered fellowships that enable them to reside in the Dora Maar House and focus on the creative aspects of their work.

Accessibility
We are sorry to say the house is not adapted to persons with limited mobility access. It is on top of a hill in a medieval village. Getting to the house or to any of the stores in the village would be difficult.
The rooms and studios are up two flights of stairs, and finally because it is very old house (15th century) the floors are not even, there are small steps up and down between rooms.

All rooms and studios are up flights of stairs and the age of the home (15th century) does not allow for ease of access.
