France is always a good idea...
Going with the wrong group isn’t


CHILL VIBES, KIND FOLKS, THOUGHTFUL DETAILS

THE CHEESE WON’T EAT ITSELF

WHAT MAKES MAISON SPECIAL

There’s something incredible about slowing down and really experiencing France, beyond the well known spots. And finding a wonderful group of fun, interesting, and like-minded women to do it all with? That’s my sweet spot.

It’s less about checking off destinations, and more about feeling inspired, rested, connected, and fully present. Will there be vineyards, charming villages, azure waters, and gorgeous castles. You bet.

Will you also smile until your cheeks hurt, and eat an unreasonable amount of cheese with new friends? Count on it.

YOUR GUIDE & RESIDENT FRANCOPHILE

Meet Stephanie

Mom. Former ER nurse. Classically trained pastry chef. Arguably France's most enthusiastic unsolicited opinion-giver.
​
When friends kept calling me before their trips to France, I realized I'd accumulated an embarrassing amount of knowledge... the right restaurants, the overlooked villages, the things worth doing and the things that will waste your afternoon. Since everyone was coming to me anyway, I figured I might as well just take them there myself!
​
Trust me, you're going to want to come with me.
