An authentic 12th century castle meets the remote work revolution in the heart of Normandy. Château Coliving combines the lush aristocratic setting of a historic castle with the easy going and friendly atmosphere of a coliving, offering location independent professionals the space and quietness to concentrate on their projects without missing out on social life and fun activities.
Katia and Emmanuel embarked on an incredible journey that took them from leaving their corporate lives behind to managing large-scale humanitarian projects and animal rescue actions, to running a design business as digital nomads while meeting diverse and incredible people along the way. After 10 eventful and turbulent years together - being broke, misfitting, being reckless, taking crazy risks - they finally restored a 12th century castle to start this next chapter called Château Coliving. The project combines all of their passions into one amazing human adventure, with the goal to break the clichés about nobility and nomadism alike, preserve and share the fascinating history of this place, their passion for travel, and their love for animals and nature, in a friendly atmosphere with wonderful people, without expectations, pretensions or judgement.
Château Coliving embraces diversity and inclusion, welcoming people of different ages, races, nationalities, sexual orientations, backgrounds, professions, and interests. The community values balance and harmony - finding the right equilibrium between work and life, between traditions and modernity, between nature and technology, between emotional and rational.
The coliving operates on a co-creation model where events are powered and facilitated by colivers themselves. Every Monday evening, the community gathers for "Family Meeting" to plan the coming week together, with everyone encouraged to propose and organize events. The approach emphasizes giving before taking, with the philosophy that "In Coliving and in most communities, it is essential to give before you take. So in doubt, Give."
