Come, I implore you, be the main character of your own life. This is your permission slip to explore the French coast and countryside with me. How does 8 days of slow mornings on the coast, flea markets, historic architecture, stone street strolling, leisurely lunches & dinners, vineyards, fresh bread and pastries sound? We’re calling it a Nancy Meyers Escape. Think food, friendships, wine, art, flowers, and French decor at its finest.

You don’t need another trip that asks you to be on. You don’t need to plan, manage, or make decisions for anyone else. And you definitely don’t need to turn rest into a project. For eight days, nothing is expected of you here. No one needs you to be productive, helpful, cheerful, or available. You get to exist exactly as you are. Be open to new experiences and connections.
Why France, you might ask, if this is a literary-based tour? Elements of The Summer I Found You are set in La Rochelle. I can’t share too much, but there is an ancestry tie to my FMC. Also, my great-grandparents were from Normandy and Nice. And I’ve never been myself. So I can experience it for the first time with you.
 The Summer I Found You, a story rooted in home, creativity, and the quiet courage it takes to begin again. My work, both in design and literary, blends French-inspired aesthetics, cozy elegance, and the kind of everyday magic that feels lifted straight from a Nancy Meyers film. My book’s central theme is reinvention and second seasons, and it offers a chance to take a women-only trip and put yourself first for a change.
This trip is for anyone seeking a relaxing seaside/countryside escape in France, especially women who share the same idea of fun and leisure. Who, for 8 days, wants the feeling of living inside a Nancy Meyers movie. Who wants to feel grounded, whole, creative, and connected.
