Boxwood Abroad
Provence, France
Experience the trip of a lifetime in the beautiful French countryside.
September 19th - 23rd, 2024
A Private Retreat
Hosted by Boxwood Avenue
Dreaming of antiquing in the French Countryside has now turned into reality with our one-of-a-kind four-day retreat in Provence! A unique experience for the Francophile, our France retreat is the perfect fall escape…
While we normally bring France to you, in 2024, we are bringing you to France!
France certainly has a piece of our hearts, and we're thrilled to share our favorite experiences with you. Join us as we antique our way through the provincial countryside exploring the beauty and history of France. We will source antiques at the inconic l’lse Sur La Sorgue antique market and learn traditional French cooking methods (while enjoying the wines of the region - of course). Come along with us to visit local manufacturing factories to see how traditional French goods are made, an incredible opportunity to connect with local artisans!
Boxwood Abroad in Provence
At the heart of Boxwood Avenue lies a warm-hearted affection of France.
With French family origin, Chloe created Boxwood Avenue to bring the tradition of provincial slow living to you.
The retreat is curated to educate and inspire you with what we love so much about France - craftsmanship, artistry, antiques, and, of course, amazing food and wine!
Experience antique markets with expert guides, learn traditional French cooking techniques, explore the craftsmanship of artisanal made goods, learn the art of photography, styling, and marketing with Chloe and indulge in the breathtaking sights and history of Provence.

Le Galinier Villa
Relax and enjoy the grounds of Le Galinier. Over the course of four days, Le Galinier will become our haven in Provence. As a traditional bastide, a typical provincial style home, Le Galinier has mastered the art of slow living.
Collect fruit from the garden, enjoy yoga in pillowing grass, indulge your favorite read by the pool all at Le Galinier - a place that exemplifies what it really means to live.
Recently featured in AD France, this thoughtfully updated chateau features exceptional design all while maintaining its historical charm.
