"Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated. For these there is hope."

—Oscar Wilde

This retreat invites you to explore the beauty of Paris in the autumn through a Wilde lens. Imagine yourself experiencing Paris hands-on, making travel memories even your friends will remember. You’ll create a Wilde-flower arrangement with a local floral designer at a private studio; travel the footsteps of Oscar Wilde in the iconic Saint-Germain-Des-Prés neighborhood— with a local French, English-speaking, guide. Savor six included gourmet meals at some of our favorite restaurants and one happens to be the oldest café in Paris! Not to mention twodecadent events: a high tea at the Bristol Hotel and an exclusive Wilde-themed wine tasting presented by a French sommelier. You’ll sit for sepia-toned personal portraits at a fur coat photoshoot. You’ll unwind with a cocktail in opulence at Wilde’s Lounge, an atmospheric bar pulsing with French Empire vibes and velvet inside the hotel where Oscar Wilde lived and died.

There’s so much included in this 5-day, small-group retreat.
