LUXURY RETREAT

EXCLUSIVE LUXURY RETREAT IN SOUTH WEST FRANCE

In the lovely Charente Maritime for couples & solo travelers

September 20-26, 2024

Parisians leave the city for their vacation homes in the Charente Maritime in Southwestern France each summer and you'll see exactly why they do!  The stunning views, Mediterranean climate, and relaxed nature of this beautiful wine-producing region will find you searching for a property of your own!  
In partnership with Wendy Harrop of The Phineas Wright House, we bring you a week of Chateau living and dreamy experiences that are the best-kept secrets of this idyllic region of France.
Imagine yourself sipping champagne poolside, in beautiful expansive conversation with fabulous new friends recalling the amazing day you just spent together. Meanwhile our Parisian trained private chef, Jeff Soens, creates another mouthwatering dinner graciously offering to show those interested in learning how to recreate the magic for themselves when they return home. 
Picture it! You’ll be taking in the markets, experiencing private jewelry-making classes, eating delicious food, brocanting, touring Chateaux, gardens, and distilleries, exploring river and seaside villages, spending a day on the Ile de Ré, meeting ex-pats who have made this their home for cocktails, and enjoying 6 nights of Chateau living!!
