Located at the heart of the Landes forest, 10 minutes away from the beaches, between Biarritz and Bordeaux, the Manoir de Léon with its 1.5ha park and 3 independent buildings, can host up to 22 people in a cosy and cared for atmosphere.

Formerly Studio du Manoir, from 1980 to 2010, Siouxsie & the Banshees, Alain Souchon, EMF, Etienne Daho and so many others... have shaped the soul of this now renowed studio. Today, the beautiful and mischievous Léon, restores its pedigree to this totally unique resort.

LE STUDIO... 24/7 The building in which the studio is located was designed and built for this very purpose and use.The acoustic design by Christian Malcurt was integrated in the structural works (specific treatment of the screed, ventilation, clearance…)All practical aspects are taken into consideration in order to allow sessions to run smoothly (outdoor access, large doors, sheltered loading dock).The walls and roofing are perfectly soundproof which allow recording at all times of the day... or night.

Music-room (100m² + 3x10m² booths)The acoustic in the studio is designed to sound “live”.The floor is covered with unvarnished oak hardwood floors.The consistency of the reverberated energy is created by wooden diffuser panels implanted in the ceiling. The mural panels are mobile on a vertical axis and offer 2 sides ; either an absorbent or a reflective surface (marble or mirror). 3 (half) glazed isolation booths looking out towards the music room offer 3 different volumes and acoustics. 4 movable acoustic isolation panels allow modular space within the music room.

AC Power : 6 x 220V 16A mono + 1 x 32A 380V P17

Control-room. (50m² + 15m² machines room)The acoustic design is based on the LEDE concept (Live End Dead End). With a symmetrical layout , the front of the room is fitted with different absorbent volumes (bass traps) and the rear is equipped with diffusers (multi sized quadrilateral wood panels).

In order to offer the best working conditions, the control room is air- conditioned and benefits from daylight (can be blackened out by remote control), as well as a panoramic view of the music room.

WIFI connection.
