We offer, in an unusual setting, a "unique" experience, 5 rooms on the 4th floor without elevator, homestay, a community place for artists and creators in residence. We welcome you to an atypical mythical place in the heart of the Carolo industrial basin. In the former Providence design offices, built in 1963 and currently being restored, the place extends over 6 floors (no lift) and has an incredible 360° panoramic view from the roof. It is the refuge of choice for creators, intellectuals, artists, researchers and travelers on transhumance of all types. Alone or in groups (URBEX, students, etc.). --- 45 minutes from Bruxelles-midi, by train. --- 500M from Marchienne-au-Pont station (BXL/CHARLEROI line). ---- 50 M from the PROVIDENCE Metro (Charleroi).

We are in the middle of nowhere, in the heart of the industrial architecture site with views of the slagheaps. Place of inspiration for the film: "The conveyors are waiting", the photographs of Stephan Vanfleteren, the documentary "Marchienne de vie", Germinal de Zola, Van Gogh chez les gueules noirs and so many other creators. At night, the lights, the sound of the factories in the distance, it's heavy, real. The movie "Blade Runner" on the side is for grandmas who make apple cakes. --- A TRAVELER'S COMMENT: We had a timeless stay with our friend Serge!!! The place is grandiose at the height of its host with his artistic soul and his big heart. Serge is really a great person who really takes care of his guests, you can really count on him for all our questions, advice on the region, etc… he will bend over backwards to satisfy you!!! Just a personal note, if you are looking for a 5-star palace where everything is polished to the nines, go your way, but if you want to spend an authentic moment in an extraordinary place full of richness of life, you are really in the right place. !!!! Will I come back? For my part, if I have to stay in the Charleroi region without hesitation I have found my palace!!! Even if I pass through the region, I will just say hello to Serge because he is a person with great values ​​who inspires respect. Nathan 08/28/2022
