If you’ve been searching for a women’s retreat in Europe that blends history, culture, and rest, allow me to welcome you to Normandy. This region of northern France is celebrated for its beaches and wartime history. However, I fell in love with Normandy's softer side.
A Hidden Gem of Normandy
Imagine apple orchards, half-timbered villages, and seaside markets. The warm-hearted French people I met during my travels made my time in Normandy unforgettable. Each moment spent here was a delightful surprise, leaving me feeling rejuvenated and inspired.
Our Beyond the Beaches women’s retreat in Normandy was created to help women experience this gentler rhythm. It provides a space for sharing a week of meaningful travel that leaves each guest feeling restored and enriched.
A European Retreat Designed for Connection and Calm
Part of the charm of traveling in Europe is how effortlessly beauty meets depth. Normandy offers both, and our 7-day all-inclusive luxury women’s retreat in France allows you to experience it all without the rush.
Your week includes:
Guided visits to Bayeux, Honfleur, and the D-Day beaches
A day exploring the Pays d’Auge countryside and tasting local cider
Private driver and curated excursions led by trusted local guides
Quiet evenings in a boutique countryside manor with chef-prepared meals
It’s a European escape designed with women in mind, blending cultural discovery, reflection, and slow luxury.
For Women Seeking Something More Than a Vacation
Maison d’Amies retreats attract women who crave more than sightseeing. They want meaning, community, and renewal. This experience is perfect if you:
Want to travel to Europe solo but not feel alone
Crave deeper connection, rest, and reflection
Love good food, local stories, and French countryside charm
Value cultural immersion without the overwhelm of large group travel
Each retreat welcomes a small group of like-minded women. Many come solo and leave with lifelong friendships. It’s proof that true connection blooms when we finally give ourselves time to pause.

Why Slow Travel in Europe Is the Real Luxury
Luxury travel isn’t just about fine hotels or perfect itineraries (although I am deeply committed to crafting the perfect itinerary)! True luxury is having time to breathe, linger, and savor. At Maison d’Amies, our retreats are rooted in the principles of slow travel. This means exploring at a human pace, meeting locals, and allowing space for reflection.
In Normandy, that might mean a morning walk through seaside mist, a leisurely cider tasting, or journaling on the terrace before dinner. Because sometimes, slowing down is the most transformative adventure of all.
The Beauty of Connection
During our retreat, we create an environment that fosters connection. We share meals, stories, and laughter. Each moment is an opportunity to bond with fellow travelers. Have you ever felt that spark of friendship over a shared dessert? It’s magical.
