Beach coliving in Normandy
Come work remotely in a unique setting, both modern, design and cozy: every detail has been studied so that you can recharge your batteries and focus on your projects, while sharing friendly moments with the other colivers!
What is coliving?

Coliving, literally co-living, simply means “living together”.
In practice you have your own sleeping cabin, you share common spaces (large kitchen, living room, bathroom, coworking space, terrace, garden) and you do activities with the community (visits, walks, bike rides, games, sailing, kayak, paddle…). Each Saturday evening there is a family dinner with all the colivers.

Instead of flatsharing, the place is ready when you arrive: sheets on the bed, towels, everything is included!

At Les Briques we paid special attention to aesthetics and atmosphere: we used wood for the entirely custom-made fittings, we kept the original raw materials, and we installed wood stoves in the kitchen and coworking to create an immediately warm atmosphere.

Our coliving is located on the top floor of Les Briques, which is entirely dedicated to it: this is where the cabines, the bathrooms, as well as the kitchen and living room are located. This is your space.

The house
You will find the shared bathroom, with its three large showers, just next to the sleeping area. A washing machine is also available.

On the same floor is the large shared kitchen, fully equipped (three induction hobs, ovens, dishwasher, coffee machine…), and offering spaces (cupboards, fridges, freezers) for everyone to store their groceries; as well as the living room, with its sofas and screen for aperitifs or movie nights. Everything is ready for you to cook!

Finally you will have access 24/7 to the coworking space.Learn more →
The dorm
Inspired by boats couchettes and Japanese capsule hotels, Les Briques offers a dorm of eleven cabins (eight single and three double).

Entirely made of light wood and stone, each cabin has storage, a quality hotel bed, lights and power sockets, creating a perfect sleeping cocoon.

Additional storage is available between the cabins for your bulky belongings, and Wi‑Fi is available.Learn more →
For whom?

Starting the day with a stroll on the beach while the sun is still low, followed by a work session in the coworking space with a cup of good specialty coffee, enjoying the tea room for a light lunch in the garden, then spending the afternoon working outdoors before having an aperitif with fellow co-livers: this is a typical day at Les Briques!

The attention to design and ambiance, along with the proximity to the sea, create an environment conducive to concentration, slow living, and inspiration. Developing a new professional project, writing a book, a thesis, a dissertation, coding an application, creating artwork, all find a particularly suitable home at Les Briques!

But Les Briques is also a place for living, where one can entertain oneself, engage in sports, and explore the Normandy D-Day region: there's something for every taste.

Community
The community plays a central role in colivings, and especially at Les Briques. Every Monday evening at 7pm there is a family meeting to introduce yourself and organize the week: everyone proposes activities and outings, and interested colivers sign up. Every Saturday evening there is a family dinner, where everyone gets together for a friendly meal.

Every week there is also one or two skillshares, where a coliver presents a topic that is important to them, followed by a discussion. An opportunity to discover new things, and share your passions!

Improvised aperitifs, picnics on the beach, lively discussions around the babyfoot are also part of the game. Tolerance and inclusion are fundamental values at Les Briques, nothing is mandatory, everyone is free to live their life.
Activities
The beach located 500m from Les Briques offers a wide range of water activities such as catamaran, paddle, kayaking, kite-surfing, windsurfing, and beach volleyball.

Normandy, unique region steeped in history, was the site of the D-Day landings 80 years ago. There are many places of remembrance to visit, such as the American cemetery, the Caen Memorial, and Pegasus Bridge, among others.

Finally, you can relax with the spa in Luc-sur-Mer, just a ten-minute bike ride away, the heated outdoor pool in Douvres, or the community cinema in Lion-sur-Mer.Learn more →
