📍 La Rochelle & Île de Ré, France

👭 Women-only · Small group experience
A slow, cinematic escape through coastal France inspired by the warmth, beauty, and quiet magic of a Nancy Meyers film.
This is not a fast-paced sightseeing tour or a retreat. It’s a thoughtfully curated experience designed to help you slow down, savor beautiful places, and enjoy time that feels entirely your own.
Jennifer O’Brien will be traveling with the group, hosting story-driven moments inspired by her forthcoming novel The Summer I Found You.

Double occupancy rooms are typically set up with two twin beds, which is the most common configuration in European hotels.
On rare occasions, a room may have one shared queen bed instead. If this applies, you will be notified in advance before final room assignments are confirmed.
Roommates may be:
Someone you book with, or
A thoughtfully matched fellow traveler (roommate matching available)
Single occupancy is ideal if you:
Prefer your own space to unwind
Value privacy and quiet at the end of the day
Want a room entirely to yourself
Single rooms are limited and offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
