Destination Details

Provence, France

Experience a slower, more sensory side of France in the heart of Provence. Known for its vineyards, historic villages, local markets, beautiful countryside, and celebrated food and wine, Provence provides the perfect setting to step away from everyday routines and focus on movement, relaxation, connection, and simply enjoying where you are.

Your home for the retreat is a private vineyard château surrounded by the Provençal countryside, creating an intimate setting for morning Pilates and yoga, wine and culinary experiences, and afternoons with nowhere you need to rush off to.

🍇 Provence: Vineyards, Villages & Countryside

This is the France of vineyards, cypress trees, stone villages, outdoor cafés, and long meals around the table. Rather than moving from city to city, you'll unpack once and experience Provence at a more relaxed pace.

Your days blend time at the château with opportunities to experience the region's wine, cuisine, and nearby village life.

🧘‍♀️ Wellness in Provence

Imagine waking up in the French countryside and beginning your morning with Pilates, yoga, and breathwork before sitting down to breakfast. Throughout the retreat, movement is balanced with restorative sessions and plenty of downtime, allowing you to participate, recharge, and enjoy the setting without a packed sightseeing schedule.

🍷 Wine & Provençal Cuisine

Food and wine are an essential part of life in Provence. Your retreat incorporates wine tastings, vineyard experiences, a cooking class, and Provençal flavors, giving you the opportunity to experience the region through what it grows, produces, and brings to the table.

🌷 April in Provence

April brings spring to Provence, with green countryside, budding vineyards, wildflowers, and fewer visitors than the busy summer months. Days can be pleasantly mild, while mornings and evenings tend to be cooler, making layers important. Spring weather can vary, so sunshine, cooler temperatures, and occasional rain are all possible.
