In April 2015 I had the great joy to have a retreat in L'Arche - La Ferme. On the occasion, I took a series of handheld pictures that I managed to stitch in April 2017. Oise is an amazing and inspiring region I strongly recommend to explore.

Trosly-Breuil is a commune in the Oise department in northern France. In 1964, Canadian Jean Vanier invited two men, Raphael Simi and Philippe Seux, to leave the institutions where they resided and live with him in Trosly-Breuil. Their time together led to the establishment of L'Arche at Trosly-Breuil, a community for people with disabilities to live with those who cared for them. Since that time L'Arche communities have been established in fifty countries around the world. about L'Arche L'Arche From Wikipedia, the free encyclopaedia L'Arche is an International Federation dedicated to the creation and growth of homes, programs, and support networks with people who have intellectual disabilities. It was founded in 1964 when Jean Vanier, the son of Canadian Governor General Georges Vanier and Pauline Vanier, welcomed two men with disabilities into his home in the town of Trosly-Breuil, France. Today, it is an international organisation operating 147 communities in 35 countries, and on all five continents.[1][2] Worldwide, L’Arche is organised into regional and national groupings of independent, locally operated agencies which it calls “communities." Each L'Arche community normally comprises a number of homes and, in many cases, apartments and day programs as well for more visit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%27Arche http://www.larche.org/
