Now Open: May 16 - 22, 2026
Imagine waking up in Provence with sunlight spilling through the shutters, the scent of lavender drifting on the breeze, and the gentle promise that, for once, there is nothing on your to-do list except to be cared for. This is not a hurried vacation filled with checklists and tourist traps. This is a retreat designed for women who give so much of themselves to careers, families, and responsibilities, yet rarely carve out time to truly exhale.
At Joie de Vivre Retreats, we believe self-care is not indulgence, it is nourishment. Here, you will be invited to slow down, to rediscover the joy of living, to reconnect with yourself, and to feel the deep restoration that comes when every detail is thoughtfully taken care of. From mornings that begin with mindful movement, to afternoons at sunlit markets or wine tastings, each moment is curated to bring ease, beauty, and connection.
And while you may arrive feeling tired, overextended, or even a little nervous about coming alone, you will leave radiant, renewed, and connected to women who quickly feel like lifelong friends. This is more than travel. It is a week of soul nourishment in one of the most beautiful corners of the world.
As Ina Garten says, “how easy is that?”

Sample Itinerary
Day 1
Welcome to Provence! We begin today with arrival transfers from the Avignon TGV Train Station. After a short ride, we'll arrive at the beautiful private domaine in the heart of Les Alpilles. After everyone has arrived, we'll have our first wellness session to decompress from the travel day. Afterwards, we'll get to know each other over our centerpiece for the week - the table and a fabulous dinner.
Days 2 - 6
We start each day with movement and mindfulness, setting our intentions for the day ahead. Afterwards, we'll head out to explore our beautiful surroundings through guided e-bike tours, market days for shopping, vineyard and winery tours, time spent under the Provençal sun at our private pool, and so much more. In the evenings, we come together around the table to discuss the day and connect. We'll visit local restaurants that look straight out of a movie set or dine right in our villa with a special meal cooked by a private chef.
Day 7
Our final wellness activity is the perfect send off before we depart for the Avignon TGV Train Station and bid adieu to one another. We're certain this won't be "goodbye," but rather it's "à bientôt (see you soon)!"
Please note this itinerary is subject to change. The final itinerary will be sent out one month prior to the retreat, however if you have any questions, please reach out to us at charlotte@jdvretreats.com. We have a few fun surprises up our sleeves as well!
