I Found 4 Dream Retreat Locations in France - But I Can Only Pick One

I’m planning my 2026 retreat in France… but I can’t decide where to host it! I’ve narrowed it down to four incredible options: From a peaceful hilltop village to a charming Provençal villa, a rustic countryside escape, and even a luxury dream property. Each one has its own charm, day trips, and experiences, and I’d love your help choosing the perfect retreat location in France. In this video, I take you behind the scenes of my retreat planning process, share the pros and cons of each location, and give you a taste of the kind of slow living, food, and French culture we’ll enjoy together. From hilltop villages to truffle farms, wine tastings, Provençal markets, and even the famous antiques of L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue - the decision isn’t easy. 00:00 Introduction 01:20 Option 1: Charming Hilltop Village 04:31 Option 2: Uzes villa 06:35 Disaster bike ride 07:18 Option 3: Idyllic Artist's House 09:26 Option 4: Luxury 5-star Villa 📌 Comment below: Which retreat would YOU choose? Your opinion will help me make the final decision!
