As a local tour guide and lover of all things Paris I am so happy when I get to share this city with other fun loving intelligent women – and if you already feel that you fall in this category – read along!
Have you ever dreamed of traveling to Paris but hesitated at the thought of going alone? Maybe you’ve longed for a trip filled with authentic experiences, meaningful connections, and a deep dive into the city’s culture—without the stress of planning everything yourself. You’re not alone. Many women want to explore Paris but feel overwhelmed by the logistics, the language barrier, or the idea of navigating a new city solo. That’s where Olive & Branch comes in.
My dear friend Pam has crafted the perfect solution: a small-group, women-only retreat designed to give you an immersive, safe, and unforgettable Parisian experience—without the hassle of figuring out every detail on your own. From May 19-25, 2025, you’re invited to join an exclusive journey through Paris and the Champagne region. With just six travelers, this retreat ensures a personal and intimate experience, allowing you to connect deeply with the city, the culture, and each other.
