A MORE BEAUTIFUL WAY TO EXPERIENCE FRANCE
Most people visit France. Very few ever truly experience it.
After 23 years exploring every corner of this country, 15 years curating five-star experiences, and nearly a decade calling it home — I know where the magic lives. The hidden villages, the tables worth traveling for, the moments that make you catch your breath.
These retreats are my way of sharing all of it. Carefully chosen, beautifully designed, and crafted for women who are ready to stop rushing and start really living.
This is France as it's meant to be experienced.
The French Art de Vivre
French Julie retreats invite you to slow down, soak in the light and beauty of the French countryside, savor the tastes of the South of France, and experience the rhythm of French life - morning markets bursting with color and flavor, stunning landscapes, and long meals at a table filled with wine, cheese, and new friends. This is the essence of the French way of life.
Two retreats.
Two styles.
One philosophy.
Each designed for you to experience the French way of life.
The Château Experience
May 18 - 24, 2026
A premium women's retreat hosted inside a 12th-century private château in a small village near Uzès.
We will dine amongst the vines, explore one of the most beautiful markets in France, and picnic at the awe-inspiring Roman aqueduct of Pont du Gard.
During the day, we will relax by the pool or explore the beautiful region together, and then come home to clink glasses at sunset and share beautiful meals in extraordinary locations.
From €3,650
Riviera Hilltop Village
September 6 - 12, 2026
Imagine a week spent in a picturesque Provençal village perched high above the French Riviera. As if the village wasn't magical enough with its sweeping views, nearly all rooms have panoramic views stretching across the countryside to the Mediterranean.
We'll start each morning having breakfast with a view, visit nearby hilltowns, taste local wines and cheeses, and enjoy long candlelit meals together.
From €2,950
