Le Chapitre, a place of life and work The workshops and the house where Eric Schmitt and his family live are located in Larchamp, near Paris. They occupy the buildings of an old farm and its tithe barn dating from the 12th century.

A text by Sandra Babeanu, Eric Schmitt's partner and collaborator, accompanies these bucolic and poetic images.
