You love France. Not the postcard version — the real one. The village market at 8am. The way light moves across a Provençal landscape in the late afternoon. A long lunch that becomes dinner without anyone noticing.
You've been dreaming of that France. The one that asks nothing of you except to slow down and pay attention.
That's exactly what we do here.
The French have a word for it: flânerie. It means wandering without a destination. Moving through the world with curiosity instead of a checklist. Noticing everything. Rushing toward nothing.
It sounds simple. For most of us, it's actually the hardest thing to do.
At In My Travels, every retreat is built around this one idea — that the best way to experience France isn't to see more of it, but to feel more of it. Slower. Deeper. On your own terms.
Every retreat is limited to a small number of guests — never a crowd, always a conversation. You will know everyone by name within hours.
Every property, meal, experience, and excursion is chosen for a specific reason. Nothing is generic. Everything has been considered.
Felicia has lived in France, speaks the language, and has spent years learning which corners of this country hold the most beauty. She's your guide and your host.
The properties, the table settings, the flowers, the light at dinner — the aesthetic is intentional throughout. This is travel as a visual and sensory experience.
There is always room to do nothing. The schedule leaves space for the unexpected — a longer lunch, a walk that turns into an afternoon, a conversation that stays.
These retreats are priced to reflect their quality — not to be accessible to everyone. The value lies in what you cannot find anywhere else at any price.
You don't need to speak French. You don't need to have been before. You just need to be ready for something that feels completely, unhurriedly yours.
Each retreat is intimate by design — never more than nine women — held in a villa or private residence in the South of France. The details are handled. The itinerary breathes. And you arrive home feeling like yourself again, only more so.
Gordes · Luberon · Provence
A week among the stones and lavender of the Luberon — centered on the ancient art of perfumery and the Provençal philosophy of the flâneur. A private villa, intimate dinners, and experiences you won't find in any guidebook.
Montréal · Occitania · Near Carcassonne
A hidden corner of southern France that most travelers never find — ancient, romantic, and quietly extraordinary. This retreat goes public next week. Reserve your interest now before the doors open.
Felicia has spent the better part of her adult life in France. She arrived in Paris after university, launched her career teaching English and working in fashion, and never quite left — not emotionally, not intellectually.
She has also lived in Sweden, South Korea, and China, and brings a rare combination of worldliness and deep French fluency to everything she curates. She speaks the language. She knows the people. She knows which village baker to arrive at before 8 a.m. and which lavender farmer will let you into the fields.
In My Travels grew from a simple conviction: that France, experienced slowly and with the right guide, offers something that no amount of research can replicate. That conviction is the foundation of every retreat she designs.
