Like Montmartre, few places have ever housed such artistic talent as found at La Ruche. Shortly after, Csaky found a studio at the artists' collective La Ruche in Montparnasse. La Ruche (literally "the beehive") was an artist's residence in the Montparnasse district of Paris. In 1911 he lived and worked in La Ruche. In 1903, he moved to Paris, where he lived in La Ruche from 1905-1907. He has since then founded a beekeeping business, Bleu Blanc Ruche, producing honey in France. At La Ruche the rent was cheap; and no one was evicted for non-payment.
