Pagan Paradise

A rural, cultural, and food-producing community hub. Creating connections between people through food and culture / Ariège Couserans

Paradis d'ici-bas is a rural living space open to all, combining culture, social connection and local food.
The site brings together a 100% local participatory community grocery store, a performance hall, a guinguette space, and a residence for artists, training courses and visitors.
The grocery store operates on a short supply chain with local producers and develops a solidarity component: partnership with the Social Security for Food experiment (SSA CAC09) and the implementation of solidarity baskets, open on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays (see attached opening hours details)

The venue also offers a cultural program throughout the year (concerts, shows, meetings – Every Thursday evening from 18 PM from April to December - detailed schedule available on the website https://www.paradispaien.com).

As for the residency aspect, it allows for the hosting of artists in creation, internships and training courses (conflict resolution, co-development, transactional analysis), as well as a tourist public.
The venue also works with a local professional recording studio and offers video recording capabilities for artistic teams.
Objective: to create a vibrant meeting space for residents, artists and visitors, linking culture, food and rural territory.
