Women's France Trip
October 2nd-12th, 2026
Reserved for women only, this intimate journey blends old-world beauty, sacred pilgrimage, exquisite food, and the deep nourishment of feminine companionship.
​
This adventure begins in Nice, France, and within just thirty minutes of leaving the airport you will be transported into another world: the medieval village of Èze, perched high above the glittering Mediterranean Sea, where your first night will be spent in a former royal residence and 400 year-old cliffside castle called Chateau Eze. Here, your journey begins among winding cobbled lanes, ancient archways, fragrant gardens, and panoramic views that feel almost dreamlike. After two days of exploration we travel to Saint-Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume for the deeply moving Mary Magdalene pilgrimage, a sacred passage into one of the most revered spiritual landscapes in France. We will visit the holy cave where tradition holds that Mary Magdalene spent her final years in prayer and devotion, and also enter the magnificent Basilique Sainte-Marie-Madeleine, where her relics are preserved. This portion of the journey is both mystical and grounding, inviting reverence, reflection, and a felt connection to the ancient feminine presence that still seems to linger in the stones, forests, and mountain air.
Next, we continue into the heart of Provence to Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, where the beloved Wednesday market spills through the town in a celebration of local life, beauty, and abundance. From there, the road leads us to the storybook majesty of Carcassonne, where soaring ramparts, candlelit streets, and medieval grandeur surround us for two unforgettable nights. We then journey through the lush, golden landscapes of the Dordogne and Périgord, a region rich with castles, prehistoric wonders, and some of the most enchanting villages in France, before settling into Sarlat-la-Canéda for an unforgettable weekend! Here, we will meander through the famous Saturday market and bustling shops, explore archaeological caves and museums, and savor the extraordinary food of the French countryside: rustic breads, local cheeses, walnuts, pastries, truffles, foie gras, seasonal produce, and beautiful wines. Our journey concludes in Bordeaux, where we will visit a local winery and experience awe-inspiring scenery before departing home through the Bordeaux airport. Our adventure is meant to foster not only memories of breathtaking places, but also the feeling of having moved through a landscape of beauty, mystery, history, and soul.
