Camping Les Cigales

This Women's-only Summer Camp in the French Countryside Had a 10,000-person Waitlist

"An emerging women-only camp set in an aristocratic coastal residence near Cassis in Provence that focuses on a choose-your-own-journey format—guests can sign up for multiple electives or simply relax by the pool. Early attendees, including content creators, praised the mix of activities (horseback riding, baking bread, watercolor classes, and local village excursions), the opportunity to form lasting friendships, and the sense that the stay could be life-changing. The retreats emphasize slow, social, creative experiences in a lavender-scented Mediterranean setting; pricing starts from about €1,999 and typically includes accommodations, meals prepared by a private chef, and electives." - Chrissie McClatchie Chrissie McClatchie Chrissie McClatchie writes about travel, wine, and yachting from her home on the Côte d’Azur, where she has lived for nearly two decades.
