Provence Signature Retreat with Coco & Anissa


Dates: April 20th to 25th, 2027

Location: Provence, France



Welcome to our dream retreat. This is the retreat we've dreamed of creating since the very beginning of Madame Voyage. For six days, we'll invite you into the Provence we know and love: a place where long lunches become lifelong memories, champagne is enjoyed by the pool, bustling village markets overflow with seasonal produce and local delights, and every day is an opportunity to celebrate the French Art De Vivre.


Hosted personally by Madame Voyage founders Coco & Anissa, this women-only retreat is all about slowing down, indulging, making new friendships and experiencing the magic of Provence like a local. We've carefully designed every moment, from exploring beautiful market towns and hidden wineries to sunset dinners at our private villa, flower crown workshops, yoga sessions and a few very special surprises along the way.


This isn't about rushing from one attraction to the next. It's about embracing a slower pace, discovering incredible food and wine, celebrating beautiful moments together and leaving feeling completely refreshed.


Welcome to what we truly believe will be the week of your life.

Get to know your host

Bonjour, we're Coco & Anissa, the founders of Madame Voyage!

We created Madame Voyage with one simple dream: to share the France we know and love with guests from around the world. Although we both grew up in different parts of France, we've always shared the same passion for its incredible culture, beautiful landscapes, pitch perfect food and wine, and the unique art de vivre that makes everyday life feel so special.


For us, France isn't just about visiting famous landmarks. It's about wandering through lively village markets, enjoying long lunches that stretch into the afternoon, discovering hidden cafés, sharing a glass of Champagne by the pool, and creating meaningful connections around the table.

Over the past few years, we've had the privilege of welcoming hundreds of guests on our retreats across France. Seeing friendships blossom, confidence grow, and lifelong memories being created is exactly why we started Madame Voyage.


This retreat is especially close to our hearts because it's our signature experience, the week we've always dreamed of creating. We've personally designed every detail to showcase our favourite places, our favourite experiences, and the Provence we love most.


Throughout the week, we'll be with you every step of the way, sharing stories, introducing you to local traditions, and making sure you experience France not as a tourist, but as if you were travelling with two French friends.


We can't wait to welcome you to Provence and share the very best of our home with you.
