Orquevaux is a village in the northeast of France, about three hours east of Paris.

It is home to a Chateau that since 2015 has opened its doors to an International Artists and Writers Residency program - welcoming musicians, writers and visual artists from around the world.

One creative in the Chattanooga area who visited Chateau Orquevaux last year was Shanna Forrestall.
