How do you do bougie? 

Paris

It is impossible not to fall in love with Paris. The city has a unique blend of iconic architecture, stylish fashion, hedonistic cuisine, and illustrious art, all beautifully laid out on the banks of the river Seine. One of the top tourist destinations in the world, the city of Paris is glamorous, romantic, playful and crammed with fascinating places, great restaurants, and beautiful things.  

Join us for a 3-night weekend stay at a 4-star hotel in the heart of Paris! This extension package precedes the base retreat package, and can be booked alone or as an add-on. (Dates 6/19-6/22)

Provence

No other region of France stirs the imagination and stimulates the senses as strongly as Provence. The soft light and the vivid, pastel-colored landscapes have inspired writers and artists from F. Scott Fitzgerald to Edith Wharton to Van Gogh and Picasso. Provencal cooking is known worldwide for its contributions to French cuisine, and attractions in Provence are centered on interesting and picturesque villages with wonderful historical sightseeing opportunities. 

Join us in Provence for a 5-night stay at a charming historic hotel located right in the heart of Avignon. The hotel was built in 1589 and currently offers a pool, garden, and modern amenities. This base package includes lodging in a double occupancy room and 9 meals (5 breakfasts & 4 dinners). Single occupancy rooms are available in Provence. See pricing for more information. 

 Each day your retreat leader, Angelique, will lead you in a yoga class designed to be complimentary to the day's activities and your skill level. From sunrise salutations to moonlit meditations, each moment is an opportunity to rediscover balance and embrace a holistic sense of well-being. 

Your Yoga Package includes:

(2) Evening restorative yoga classes with meditation and Reiki

(3) Morning wake-up yoga classes corrected typo here (extra space)

In addition to these 5 yoga classes, we will take two unique tours:

First, we will be transported from Avignon to Collias, the starting point for our 5-mile paddle down the Gardon River. This 2-hour kayaking adventure will include some easy rapids, a beach break, and an epic opportunity to paddle under the 2,000-year-old Roman aqueduct known as Pont du Gard. Our half-day excursion will include round-trip transportation, kayak rentals, and a bag lunch.

Next, we will enjoy a private group tour through the famous hill towns and lavender fields of the Luberon. We will be transported in an air-conditioned vehicle from our hotel in Avignon to the charming towns of Roussillon and Gordes. Meander around the villages, grab a bite to eat, or do some souvenir shopping. We will continue to a lavender field where we will meet with our professional photographer for gorgeous photos in the fields. The famous Provençal lavender is only in bloom for one month per year, so this is truly a one-of-a-kind experience to check off your bucket list. After the photo session, we will visit a lavender museum for a tour and workshop before returning to Avignon. This full day excursion includes transportation, 2 photos per person, and museum entrance and workshop fees. Lunch is on your own in Gordes.

 If France is known for its wine, Provence is known for its rosé! We have two opportunities for you to experience the wines of Provence:

We’ll begin with a private, full-day trip to Châteauneuf-du-Pape, where we will visit two wineries. At the first, we will do a tasting and partake in a wine blending workshop. Then we will enjoy a 3-course lunch with 2 wine pairings. Lastly, we will visit a second winery for a tour and another tasting.

In addition, this package includes a Happy Hour Seafood & Wine Pairing on a river barge in Avignon.
