Immersive Screenwriting Retreat
FADE IN:
EXT. WINE ESTATE – DAY
A group of EXTRAORDINARY WOMEN step into a world of lavender and light. The golden horizon melts into endless purple fields, each bloom whispering secrets to the summer wind.
The air carries the magic of Provence, wild herbs, fresh bread, and the promise of stories yet to be told. In the distance, the hum of cicadas becomes a soundtrack, as if nature itself is waiting for their words.
FADE TO BLACK.
THE SETTING
From the lavender-drenched landscapes of A Good Year to the timeless romance of French Kiss, the South of France has always been a muse for unforgettable stories. Now, it’s your turn.
Step away from the noise of everyday life and immerse yourself in pure creativity. In the heart of Provence, inspiration blooms as vividly as the lavender fields. Here, you’ll find the peace, energy, and space to dream, write, and bring your screenplay to life.
Just outside the medieval town of Sommières awaits a historic wine estate transformed into a sanctuary for storytellers. With its private pool, olive trees, and sweeping views of the Garrigue, the villa offers a perfect blend of rustic charm and creative stillness. By day, lavender fields and vineyards invite long walks and reflection. By night, cicadas sing under a starlit sky as stories unfold around a farmhouse table filled with wine, laughter, and conversation.
This is where you’ll leave behind distractions, plot your story, and discover the sisterhood and support you’ve been longing for. ✨

Why Provence. Why Now.
In June, the fields burst into violet bloom, the air perfumed with lavender and rosemary, the skies stretched in cinematic blue. It’s a season when the South of France feels alive with possibility.
There is no better moment to pause, reset, and plot your story than when Provence itself is in full bloom.
This is your invitation to step into the South of France at its most radiant and to let your words bloom alongside the lavender.
