Frequently Asked Questions
Why are you hosting this retreat in the Fall?
The Fall in The South of France is absolutely breathtaking (and much cooler) with the leaves changing colors and the vineyards preparing for the harvest.
Where is the villa?
The villa is in Gordes, a hilltop village in the Luberon area of Provence. A seven to ten minute walk puts you right in the center of town.
How do I get to the retreat?
We recommend flying to Paris and then taking a TGV (high-speed train) to Aix-en-Provence. We will organize cars at two specific times to pick guests up from the station or can recommend taxis. The house is approximately one hour from the train station.
What time should I plan to arrive?
We kick off the retreat with a welcome apéro and dinner, however, depending on the arrival times of all the guests, we will potentially start with a lunch.
What will our days be scheduled like?
The exact itinerary will be sent to you upon booking. However to get a general idea: we’ll start every day with breakfast at the villa, yoga for those who are interested, optional short conversational French class, followed by an excursion into town or a nearby village, have lunch together, some free time in the village, apéro and dinner either out or at the villa. Each day will be a little different and in addition to activities, there will be some time for intentional conversations and gatherings. Every day free time will be scheduled to allow you time to rest, recharge or make your own plans.
