Paris, France

chateau voltaire

Tucked away just steps from the Tuileries, this charming boutique hotel is composed of three buildings from the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries.

The space, designed by Charlotte de Tonnac and Hugo Sauzay, feels more like home than a hotel. I’ve hand selected this location for its charm, five-star amenities, hospitable reputation, and it’s superior location.

Known for its design and location, we couldn’t think of a better place to call home during the retreat!

Kind Words from Past Attendees

“This last four days was organized by Boxwood Abroad and I can’t say enough good things - the access we had to local artisans, inspiring design, authentic experiences, and local food was so beyond what I could have ever put together on my own and I highly recommend @boxwoodavenue abroad trips!” -Alexis

“Boxwood Avenue has a gift for hospitality, treasure hunting, gathering and sharing the gifts of amazing creatives and doing it all with the most beautiful backdrops. Watch for more of her adventures and offerings through Boxwood Abroad. For all of you who messaged me about this trip, sign up for her next one, you will not be disappointed. Thank you Chloe for an amazing week, it was an experience of a lifetime!” -Angie

“Not knowing any of the 12 women I would join on this trip made me a little nervous, knowing this could be a good or bad idea. BUT let me tell you, this was one of my best decisions. Everyone on the trip was amazing. We shopped, ate good food, laughed, and drank good wine. There are so many memories and so much to be grateful for. Chloe was an amazing host. She brought all of us together and provided us with an experience of France full of good energy, people, experiences, and just a good time - the vintage markets, the food, the sites, and so much more. I will always be grateful for this experience and can not wait to return. 🤎 So, if you are debating whether to travel this year- I'm telling you- do it. You will never regret it. Regardless of whether you take a solo trip or not, go!!” -Latoya
