Provence & Paris
Provence | September 10 - 16, 2026
Optional Paris Extension | September 16 - 19, 2026
This Galavant is designed for self-identifying women who are seeking a thoughtfully curated blend of cultural immersion, meaningful connection, and elevated accommodations. Our Gals approach travel with open minds, generous spirits, a flexible attitude, and are eager to embrace new destinations, perspectives, and friendships along the way.
A Note from our Founder
Provence has a way of softening you.
Every time I return, I feel myself breathe a little deeper. Life gets quieter, richer, more grounded. Days move at a different pace here, slow market strolls, long lunches, sun-drenched terraces, wine that tastes like a story someone whispered just to you.
And then, of course, there’s Paris, elegant, expressive, endlessly inspiring. Not the checklist version you’ve seen on postcards, but the insider Paris we love: sunset on the Seine, winding through the Marais, vintage treasures waiting to be found, dinners that turn into memories you replay long after you’re home.
This journey feels special. A little softer. A little more intentional. The kind of trip you’ll think about years from now, the one that reminds you that slowing down is a luxury, and sharing it with extraordinary women is a gift.
I can’t wait to savor every moment of it with you.

About the Tour
Provence & Paris Pursuits
From sunlit vineyards to softly lit Parisian nights, this journey reveals France at her most captivating.
Over six unforgettable nights in Provence, we’ll immerse ourselves in the region’s everyday magic: vibrant markets, truffle-scented hillsides, long lunches in the countryside, and villages that feel lifted from a painting. Think terracotta lanes, seasonally inspired cuisine, flowing rosé, and the unmistakable charm of French living, all woven together in true Galavant Society style.
Our home for the week is Hôtel Crillon Le Brave, named Travel + Leisure’s Number 1 Hotel in France this year. More than a hotel, it’s an entire 17th-century village reimagined as a five-star retreat. Stone houses connected by winding paths, rooms wrapped in linen and warm light, panoramas of Mont Ventoux at every turn, it’s the kind of place that stays with you long after you’ve left.
For those joining our optional Paris extension, the story continues in the chic heart of the Marais. A private sunset cruise on the Seine, expert-led treasure hunting at the world’s most iconic flea market, and a candlelit farewell dinner come together to create an insider experience that feels distinctly, delightfully Parisian.
Our Galavant through France is designed to celebrate the art of savoring; the beauty, the flavors, the culture, and the joy of discovering it all alongside extraordinary women.

What the Gals are Saying….
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Stop waiting for your friend group to book the trip! The Galavant Society is the perfect way to explore the world with like-minded travel gals. You may start the trip as complete strangers, but you’ll leave as lifelong friends. Every single detail is five-star: luxury accommodations, organized, professional, thoughtful, and seamless from start to finish. I felt completely taken care of the whole time, and I’m already counting down to my next adventure with the Gals!
— Jennifer G. (France & Spain, Jordan & Egypt)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
My first thought when someone asks me about a TGS trip is “book it” (it’s actually F*ck it, book it, but if we are keeping it polite – it’s “book it!”). I have been on 3 galavants (and have 2 more already booked), and what keeps me coming back are the amazing locations, the thoughtfully curated itineraries, and the shared experiences that I know I could not have created on my own. I’ve come for the trips and will stay for the friendships (and the new trips 😉). So, my response is always: book it, you won’t regret it.
— Meg B. (France & Spain, Jordan & Egypt, Holiday Cruise)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I decided to join The Galavant Society in Greece after my friend raved about her previous trips with the Gals. I have to say… I was beyond impressed! Every little detail was on point. The planning was incredible and everything was seamless. I really enjoyed being able to choose to do more or less depending on my personal preferences.
We got the VIP treatment everywhere we went. It was truly a magical trip!

Trip Itinerary
Provence
DAY ONE – Welcome to Provence! You’ll be whisked off in a private car to Hôtel Crillon Le Brave, our five-star home for the week. Unpack, relax, and settle into village life before we meet on the terrace for a French apéritif with the most breathtaking backdrop. We’ll ease into our Galavant with a stunning, delicious Welcome Dinner right at the hotel and toast to the days ahead.
DAY TWO — Today, we dive straight into Provence’s most delicious traditions. We’ll join a local family for truffle hunting (yes, with the adorable dog), followed by a tasting of regional treats and local favorites. Afterward, we’ll explore the charming village of Lourmarin (our favorite), browse its boutiques, and enjoy a seasonal lunch before heading back for downtime at the hotel.
DAY THREE — We’re off to one of France’s most iconic wine regions, Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Our day begins with a private lunch and guided tasting on a sunny patio overlooking the vineyards, followed by a visit to a historic estate to sample more of the region’s famous wines. Expect big pours, good stories, and that unmistakable Provençal glow.
Provence
DAY FOUR – Today we’re off to riverside L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, famed for its antique stalls, pretty canals, and picture-perfect bridges. You’ll have time to wander the markets, hunt for treasures, pop into boutiques, and enjoy lunch at your leisure before we head back to Crillon Le Brave for a relaxed afternoon.
DAY FIVE — This day is yours to shape. Join an optional outing to the postcard-perfect villages of Roussillon and Gordes, or stay back at the hotel to enjoy a slower Provence morning. That evening, we’ll come together for a gorgeous countryside dinner at La Bastide de Marie in Ménerbes—a stunning estate surrounded by vineyards and Provençal charm.
DAY SIX — This morning we’re off to Avignon for one of the tastiest moments of the trip, a guided foodie walk through markets, local bites, and classic Provençal flavors. After our delicious morning, we’ll return to Crillon Le Brave for a relaxed afternoon before coming together for our Farewell Dinner to toast an unforgettable week.
DAY SEVEN - After breakfast, we’ll say our goodbyes to Crillon Le Brave and to one another, until the next Galavant, of course. For those continuing on, the adventure continues as we make our way to Paris for the start of our chic city extension.

What to know
BEFORE YOU GO
-
Our Galavants are crafted for women 21 and up who crave meaningful travel, rich cultural experiences, and genuine connection. You don’t need a travel buddy, a milestone birthday, or a particular life stage to join us, just an open mind, a kind heart, and a sense of adventure. Whether you’ve traveled the world or this is your first big trip, you’ll feel right at home.
-
Our travelers typically range from their late 20s to mid 60s, with most falling somewhere between 30 and 55. But truthfully? Age isn’t the defining factor for joining a Galavant, energy is. We attract curious, independent, kind-hearted women who value depth, conversation, and the thrill of discovering something new. If that sounds like you, you’ll fit right in.
-
Absolutely—most of our gals do! We’ll pair you with a roommate whenever possible. If not, you can choose to pay a single supplement or wait for a future trip. Questions? Email us at hello@thegalavantsociety.com
-
While this is a guided group trip with plenty of unforgettable experiences built in, we’ve also made sure there’s room to explore at your own pace.
In Provence, you’ll enjoy a beautiful balance of curated outings and relaxed pockets of time to unwind whether that’s browsing a market a little longer, lingering by the pool, booking a spa treatment, or soaking in the views from our hilltop hideaway. We’ve also built in an optional village day so you can join a scenic outing or savor a quieter morning at the hotel.
For those continuing on to Paris, you’ll have free time to wander the Marais, shop, sip, museum-hop, or join one of our optional experiences like custom perfume making or a cheese and wine workshop.
Want a little extra time? We’re more than happy to help you arrive early in Provence or extend your stay in Paris to keep the magic going.
