What started as a solo trip has turned into a full party, and I am SO incredibly excited AND overwhelmed to be heading to France soon! There’s a lot of moving parts, so keep checking this site for more updates - I’ll keep an updated agenda below, and have a few buttons as well to get in touch or check out the latest details on Travel Logistics and FAQs (still WIP, bear with me).
Love you all and see you soon!
August 14 - Day in Lyon
On Friday, feel free to arrive at whatever time is convenient to join us in checking out the beautiful city of Lyon. Here, we’ll be able to enjoy one of France's most remarkable cities, and we’ll check out a museum or two and - weather permitting - enjoy a picnic dinner for the evening.
Think of Friday as a chance to reconnect, meet fellow guests, and ease into the weekend before the main celebration.
August 15 -
Château brunch
We’ll start the morning with some château Time - we’ll have a relaxed open brunch at the château to unwind, enjoy the grounds, maybe play a few games, and do some crafts.
Feel free to bring your bathing suit for a quick dip in the pool! Dress is casual, but it will likely be warm!
August 15 - Evening in the Rhone Valley
In the afternoon, we’ll take the train to the town of Tain-l’Hermitage, where we’ll explore the Valley of the Rhone and enjoy wine tasting and chocolate tasting over the course of a lovely summer afternoon.
We’ll finish with a lovely dinner at the French Bistro Marius - the sister restaurant of one of my favorite Rhone wines, M. Chapoutier.
Dress is “French resort casual” - think white, beige, and blue linens!
August 16 - Relax and recover
Slow Morning & Farewells
Coffee, breakfast, lingering conversations, and goodbyes before everyone heads to their next adventure!
For those ready to do more athletic activities, I’ll be renting kayaks for the group to navigate and explore the river. We’ll finish the day with a quick jaunt over Lyon for a Brasserie dinner.
