Neve Residential Recording Studio, 15 minutes away from Paris
The studio
Founded in 1980 by Olivier Bloch Lainé, La Frette Studios is a residential recording studio housed in a 19th-century manor, entirely dedicated to music production. Located just 15 minutes from Paris, in the village of La Frette-sur-Seine, a popular holiday retreat for Parisians in the 1930s, it sits near the former homes of Édith Piaf, Maurice Chevalier, and Albert Marquet.
The manor is equipped with a legendary Neve console, a Piano Room, a Stone Room, a Dead Room, and a Live Lounge, offering a rich and varied acoustic palette. Over time, the studio has expanded by installing microphone tie lines throughout the house while preserving its character with original furniture, vinyl-lined walls, and bookshelves.
Originally conceived as a private studio, La Frette quickly became a sought-after destination for many French and international artists. Olivier Bloch Lainé cultivated an approach focused on independent music and album production, prioritizing authenticity and artistic excellence.
Today, La Frette is run by Olivier and a team of five people.
The house
The manor features five cozy bedrooms, accommodating up to 9 guests. With its warm and authentic atmosphere, it provides a true retreat that fosters creativity.
Guests can enjoy both private and shared bathrooms, and the thoughtfully prepared meals add a welcoming, convivial touch to every stay, making it the perfect environment to relax and focus.
For larger groups, extra accommodations are available right next to the studio, ensuring comfort and convenience.
