Decadence & Dark Academia
November 26th—30th, 2025
$3,750
"Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated. For these there is hope."
—Oscar Wilde
What is Oscar Wilde’s Paris?
November. Can a sentence consist of one word? Yes—another one-word sentence.
November is the backdrop to Wilde’s world of beauty and books. It’s an invitation to cool weather in Paris, coffees, cakes, and uncrowded streets. It pulls back at us like peeling wallpaper.
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 renowned Saint-Germain neighborhood—also with a local French, English-speaking, guide. You’ll enjoy six included meals at some of our favorite restaurants in the city and one happens to be the oldest café in Paris! Not to mention two decadent events: a high tea at the Bristol Hotel and a private Wilde-themed exclusive wine tasting with a French sommelier.
There’s a lot included in this 5-day, small-group retreat, so get ready to scroll below to see everything we’ve curated for your experience… we have space for 8.

"The books that the world calls immoral are books that show the world its own shame."
—Lord Henry to Dorian Gray, Oscar Wilde
