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, and delightfully affordable 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 and creative activities including learning about the famous artists of the region, daily yoga, and ways to explore personal growth, enjoying a cooking class with a gifted culinary doyenne, taking photos in some super-photogenic places, savoring healthy and delicious meals from our private home chef, and going on healthy walks 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 retreat that promises relaxation, inspiration, and a deep connection to the beauty of Provence and the Riviera.

ACCOMMODATIONS & COSTS

We will be staying at a luxury gem of a house, which we have all to ourselves. The pool, gardens, and views are gorgeous! All the rooms are different, and there are some shared bathrooms. All beds are queen-size. The house is situated between two dreamy hill villages: Fayence and Seillans, designated as one of “the most beautiful villages of France.”


The cost of the workshop is based on which room you choose.
