Normandy Retreats: Registration Now Open!
Registration Is Now Open!
You’ve been sending me requests for a retreat experience in Normandy for years — a chance to experience what you’ve enjoyed seeing via my updates: idyllic walks in the countryside, a visit to the town market (right next to the cathedral), browsing French antiques at my favorite brocante, a picnic at a chateau, tours of my renovation projects, a workshop with our Dutch friend, Gijsbert — and now it’s a reality. Click here for details and FAQs.
HERE’S WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
Come spend a week in France and experience Normandy like a local. I’ve planned an exclusive itinerary for retreat guests, with beautiful details at every turn. And I’ll join you each day on your adventures — I can’t wait to connect with you.
During your week in Normandy you’ll get a peek at what it’s like to really live here, and fill your inspiration well with workshops and tours on topics like architecture, fine art, cheese, ancient renovation, history, and local produce. You’ll get a chance to explore the iconic Mont St. Michel, and spend time at my favorite chateau.
You’ll get an official tour of The Tall House and The Small House, and if you like, you can even try your hand at re-pointing an ancient stone wall. Retreat guests will also get a chance to visit our next renovation project, The Cottage, before the work really begins, so you can see it in the true “before” form.
You’ll enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner at the best and most authentic restaurants, or prepared by local chefs and served onsite. Each day you’ll also be served a traditional “gouter” — the French afternoon snack break.
The retreat includes a welcome gift featuring my favorite local products and favorite French pharmacy skincare products. Retreat attendees will receive exclusive merch too — only available at the retreat.
All the planning and coordinating is being handled by experts, so you just get to show up and enjoy yourself. You can join in the day’s activities, or just relax and enjoy idyllic Normandy.
One of the very best parts? You’ll get a chance to connect with fellow retreat guests — the smart, kind, thoughtful, amazing women in this community.
