INTRODUCTION

I am delighted to introduce my exclusive Retreat in Provence and the Riviera. Unlike my other offerings, this is not a Photo Workshop. This unique experience invites you to immerse yourself in my favourite places, activities, and personal connections in Provence, where I live part-time with my husband, Gilles.

Nestled in the heart of lesser-known Provence, this region features serene hilltop villages, terraced olive groves, and breathtaking mountain trails.

Our retreat is designed to nourish both mind and spirit through a blend of cultural, creative, and restorative activities. These include learning about the famous artists of the region, practicing yoga, exploring personal growth, enjoying a cooking class with a gifted culinary doyenne, taking photos in some super-photogenic places, savoring delicious meals prepared especially for our group, and walking in the mountains.

We are there in May, when the iconic “Roses de Mai,” harvested for Chanel and Dior, are in bloom. This experience is subject to the short harvest window.

Join us for a transformative experience that promises relaxation, inspiration, and a deep connection to the beauty of Provence and the Riviera.
