The Good Life Retreat on the French Riviera 

March 20- 26, 2027
October 9-15, 2027

This edition of The Good Life Retreat takes its inspiration from the art, gardens, and Mediterranean beauty of the French Riviera.

Slow down, find inspiration, and savor life on the Côte d’Azur.

Join me on the French Riviera for a retreat devoted to what makes life feel good: beautiful surroundings, being inspired, delicious food, thoughtful conversation, and time to just be.

Living in France has taught me to find joy in everyday moments, from a morning coffee to a long lunch with friends. It has also given me the chance to explore beautiful villages and discover places I return to again and again. Through The Good Life Retreats, I share these discoveries and take care of every detail so you can settle in and enjoy la belle vie.

The Cote d'Azur

With its blue waters, coastal villages, and Mediterranean light, the French Riviera has long drawn artists, writers, and travelers seeking sun and inspiration. Matisse made his home in Nice, F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald settled by the sea in Antibes, while James Baldwin settled in nearby Saint-Paul-de-Vence, where friends including Nina Simone came to visit.

We’ll discover this corner of the south of France through its food, art, gardens, culture, and Mediterranean beauty. Expect thoughtfully planned outings, long meals around welcoming tables, time to wander, visit the spa, or simply rest in your room with a view of the sea.

I design these retreats to feel like visiting a friend who knows the places you’ll love and has been looking forward to sharing them with you.

Come on your own or with a friend. Bring your curiosity, your appetite, and a willingness to slow down. I’ll take care of the rest.

A little joy and beauty to take home

My hope is that you leave feeling refreshed and inspired, with new friendships and ideas for bringing more pleasure and beauty into your everyday life. You will want to gather more often, treat every day like a special occasion, and make time for what nourishes you. 

The Hotel

Our home for the week is Hôtel Belles Rives in Juan-les-Pins, right on the water at the edge of Cap d’Antibes. Once the seaside home of F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald, it became a hotel in 1929 and has remained in the same family ever since. Its Art Deco interiors, terraces overlooking the Mediterranean, and private beach make it a place to enjoy as much as the towns we’ll explore. We’ll head out each day knowing we have this beautiful spot to return to.
