Provence, France
La Vie Est Belle
Provence is magical and beautiful. It is colourful, delicious, and breathtaking. Our trip to Provence is a trip filled with beauty and joy where we will walk many cute cobblestone streets in romantic small towns, relax by the sea and explore many of the legends of this extraordinary region.
We will be staying in a traditional provençal villa with an enormous pool and sweet mulberry trees. This villa is located right in the heart of Provence, close to Saint-Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume, known for its magnificent basilica of Saint Mary Magdalene. Energies of the places where we will be staying and visiting are very powerful and they have immense healing potential.
Awaken both your spirit and your senses
Provence is also known for its beautiful and clean sea - we will definitely enjoy ourselves in a stylish sea town called Cassis and in a very special place called Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer in the Camargue natural reserve. The latter is energetically connected with Mary Magdalene because as the legend goes, this was the place where she first came when she arrived in Europe. There is a church Église des Stes-Maries where we will be contemplating and diving deeper into the mysteries of Mary Magdalene, her sacred marriage and the personage of Saint Sara.
Close to this magical place, there is another amazing place to visit - the city of artists, Arles. Arles has been adored by painters, photographers (the oldest festival of photography takes place here) and it is full of ancient sites. It used to be Vincent Van Gogh’s favourite town. Together, we will take a walk through the colourful, jasmine - scented streets and stop by the famous café that Vincent painted - Le café de nuit.
Lavender and rose
June is a perfect month to visit the blooming lavender and we will definitely see many lavender fields on our trip, especially on a day when we will visit the most picturesque provencal villages. We will take a walk around the famous Abbaye Notre-Dame de Sénanque and admire breathtaking views of the traditional village Gordes. You are going to feel like in a movie here (perhaps “A Good Year” movie with Russel Crowe) and you will definitely make memories that last forever. We will have lunch in a lovely, colourful village called Roussillon and a glass of rosé in Bonnieux where the feeling is as if time does not exist at all. All around you will see amazing views of lavender fields, cyprusses and just feel freedom and endless gratitude.
Magical day in silence
Every day will be a day full of magic on this trip. However, there is one very special day and that is the day when we will be visiting the place where Mary Magdalene spent the last 30 years of her life. This will be a sacred pilgrimage through a magical, ancient forest with a spring well, sacred water fountain called Source de Nans. We will get to a place where Mary Magdalene lived, prayed and preached. On this day, we will silently walk through the forest, tune to our own connection with Mary and allow ourselves “just” to be. It is a great privilege to be able to visit this place. It is deeply healing and transformative.
Simply put - this trip to south France is unforgettable and wonderful. Let’s explore together and let’s feel that La Vie Est Belle!

More info about the trip
Because we want you to feel that you are in France we will also go to local supermarkets and markets to shop for fresh vegetables, fruit, cheese etc. You will have space and time to prepare breakfast at the villa - it feels so good to have a fresh croissant or a baguette in the garden under the mulberry trees after you had your morning yoga or you took a dip in the pool. You are welcome to prepare fresh tea from the herbs in the garden and pick the sweet mulberries, too. In case we come back earlier from our daily trips around Provence, you may want to prepare a simple dinner - a salad with fresh olive tapenades or cheese, etc. The choice is endless and you will definitely enjoy the French cousine - whether you are vegan, vegetarian or you have no restrictions at all..
