I’m excited to share with you the dates and details of our 2025 Women’s Retreats:
In June and September 2025, Best French Forever’s founder and Provence-native, Cynthia Moos, will take women from all over the world on an unforgettable voyage to Provence.
Will you be one of them?
During your retreat, you will discover the beauty of the South of France, live life like a local, nourish your body and soul and truly delight your tastebuds. You will see the world through a new lens, and come back with the mindset and tools to start a new chapter of your life. I cannot wait to witness the beautiful transformations this trip initiates!
Everything has been planned for an authentic French experience
Here is what to expect:
-
An enchanting stay
Five nights at the privatized estate of Mas Millésime, in the heart of the Alpilles, surrounded by olive groves and the magical peace of the French countryside.
-
Discovery of the region
Day trips and exploration of the Luberon valley, the Alpilles, gorgeous villages and bountiful countryside with a Provence-native. Think olive oil and wine tasting, farmers markets and brocantes, promenade in nature…
-
French-infused ateliers
Creative workshops hosted by French women to inspire you and infuse the French art de vivre into your everyday.
-
The principles of the slow life
A trip thoughtfully designed to let the magic of Provence seep into your very being, embrace the slow life and return home with a refreshed mindset.
-
An experience of the senses
Get ready to awaken all your senses and enjoy the richness and treasures of Provence, from stunning views to delicious homegrown produce and flavorful meals, to the architecture, the intoxicating scents in nature and beyond…
-
A time to reconnect
This retreat is your moment in time for rest, self-reflection and self-care. Morning yoga and easy hikes in the Provence countryside will invite you to deeply connect with yourself and the beauty around you, and you’ll get to choose which activities you want to take part in.
Five days of exploration around Provence and within yourself that will nourish both your body and soul in the most meaningful of ways
About your host, Cynthia
Bonjour ! My name is Cynthia, I’m a Colorado-based entrepreneur and the founder of Best French Forever. I was born and raised in a small village of Provence where I lived for most of my life. It’s only when I moved to the US ten years ago to live with my American lover (now-husband) that I realized how fortunate I had been to grow up in that region.
In 2021, to stay connected with my roots, I launched a subscription box service and custom gift company to bring artisan-made gems from Provence to American Francophiles.
Today, I curate experiences for groups of women to discover my home region and learn the principles of the French art de vivre. I also create custom itineraries for people wanting to travel to Provence on their own.
As my business evolves, my mission remains the same: to inspire women to live a life they love, by infusing doses of the French lifestyle into their everyday.
I cannot wait to see you find quiet and peace within yourself, and discover the beauty in the simplicity of everyday life.
“Have you ever dreamed of diving deep into the heart of Provence, guided by a native soul? Allons-y!”

Your initial 20% deposit is non-refundable as it will help us secure the estate and activities.

In case of unforeseen events, illness, accidents or travel delays causing you to miss the retreat, we will be unable to refund your payments. That is why we strongly encourage you to get travel insurance with cancellation coverage included.
