Join transformational stylist and psychotherapist Marisol Colette on a journey through the elegance, artistry, and soul of France, from the timeless avenues of Paris to the sun-drenched landscapes of Provence.
This retreat invites you to explore the connection between style, culture, and self-expression through immersive experiences designed to awaken creativity, confidence, and presence. In France, beauty is woven into everyday life, from the effortless sophistication of Parisian fashion to the sensory pleasures of Provençal living. Guided by Marisol, you’ll discover how style can become a reflection of identity, emotion, and authenticity.
Your experience begins in Paris, a city synonymous with fashion, art, gastronomy, and refinement. Wander through historic neighborhoods, discover hidden boutiques and artisan ateliers, and experience the rhythm of Parisian elegance firsthand. Through exclusive fashion-focused experiences and intimate creative workshops, you’ll explore personal style as a form of self-expression and empowerment, blending therapeutic insight with the artistry and craftsmanship of French fashion.
Step inside the world of couture craftsmanship during a private atelier experience in the heart of Paris, where vintage fabrics, bespoke tailoring, and sustainable luxury come together in a deeply personal and creative setting. You’ll also discover a more intimate and authentic side of the French capital through immersive experiences that take you beyond the classic tourist routes into hidden neighborhoods, local wine bars, contemporary bistros, and the creative energy of modern Paris.
Throughout your time in the city, beautifully curated culinary experiences become an essential part of the journey. From elegant welcome dinners in Montmartre to authentic Parisian apéros and atmospheric dining experiences, you’ll savor the flavors, traditions, and conviviality that make Paris one of the gastronomic capitals of the world.
From there, travel south to Provence, where lavender fields, hilltop villages, vineyards, and golden light create a slower and more grounded rhythm of life. Nestled beneath the timeless village of Gordes, your stay in an authentic Provençal farmhouse invites you to reconnect with simplicity, beauty, and presence.
In Provence, inspiration shifts from couture to craftsmanship, nature, color, and the poetry of everyday rituals. Through immersive workshops and creative salons curated by Marisol, you’ll explore the relationship between color, emotion, personal style, creativity, and authentic self-expression in an atmosphere designed for reflection, renewal, and meaningful connection.
Experience the soul of Provence through authentic encounters and unforgettable landscapes: discover traditional lavender weaving techniques inside a local artisan atelier, share leisurely Provençal lunches crafted with seasonal ingredients, explore picturesque villages, and embrace the warmth and art de vivre that define southern French culture.
Throughout the retreat, moments of mindfulness, creativity, beauty, and connection are thoughtfully woven into the experience, creating space to slow down, reflect, and celebrate personal transformation through travel, artistry, and culture.
