Get to know maison d’amies

I believe travel shouldn’t be a performance for social media, but rather a restful time to truly connect and enjoy.

GET TO KNOW MAISON d’amies

social media,
but rather a restful time to truly connect and enjoy

A slower pace, incredible locations, delicious local fare, and small groups of wonderful women enjoying the adventure together.

No cliché itineraries here... Be our guest and savor France, I have every beautiful detail covered.

THE MAISON D’AMIES EXPERIENCE

Why guests book
again and again...

Small curated retreats have become wonderfully popular, and for good reason. To meet that demand, a familiar industry model has emerged: a repeatable retreat structure that doesn’t vary from destination to destination.

At Maison d’Amies, our magic is discernment...
it's the ability to choose what best serves this place, this group of women, this moment.

That’s why I don’t use a fixed retreat formula. You can return to Maison d’Amies year after year and still be surprised.

GET TO KNOW YOUR HOST

Hi, I’m 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.

Hi, I’m Stephanie

Two women are standing outside a house, each holding a glass of wine and drinking. They are dressed casually, with one wearing a white sweater and the other a striped shirt and white cardigan. They appear to be enjoying themselves.
