Questions I get LOTS of...
What exactly is The Provence Retreat?
A 5 night all-inclusive women’s retreat hosted by Elise in a private Chateau in Provence (in both inland Luberon as well as a coastal villa near Cannes). Intimate groups of 10 women, equal parts restoration and celebration.
When are the 2026 retreats?
The retreats will take place 14-19 June in the French Riviera and 26 - 31 August in the Provencal Countryside. Choose your own adventure!
How does the pricing work?
€4,000–€6,000 depending on season and whether it’s the countryside chateau or coastal villa, or a single/double room. A 30% deposit secures your spot; the balance is due 90 days before arrival.
What’s included?
Transfers from and to the nearest city, all meals (and wine—great wine), accommodation in gorgeous double or single rooms (you choose), every activity, excursion, workshop, class, tasting, and LOTS of little surprises along the way. The only things you’ll need to arrange are flights, trains and travel insurance.
Do I have to be super fit or “wellness-y”?
Great question! Not at all. Activities are gentle and optional—think restorative yoga, scenic walks, gentle horse-riding or e-biking vineyards and the occasional joyful dance-around-the-pool moment. All levels (and moods) welcome.
What’s the age range?
Circa 25–50, but it’s more about life stage than birthday candles. We’ve had inspiring 24-year-olds and radiant 62-year-olds. It just works.
Can I come solo?
My most common question. And YES! Most women do. By day two it feels like you’ve known each other forever (which you will probably end up doing too!)
What if I want my own room?
Yes your own room with king bed and ensuite is of course available for a supplement (around €1,000–€1,800 depending on the Chateau/Villa). Otherwise you’ll share a beautiful king room in twin formation with one other lovely human (we match you carefully).
What airport do I fly into?
Marseille (MRS) for country retreats, Nice (NCE) for coastal. Private transfers both ways are included.
Is it really only women?
Yes! Even our private chef is female. Think of it as a secret sisterhood society
What’s the vibe?
Elegant but barefoot. Thoughtful but never serious for long. Deep conversations followed by uncontrollable laughter. Zero pretension. Maximum Rosé.
