Vence
Vence is a historic village in Southern France set in the hills of the Alpes-Maritimes between Nice and Antibes. The old town of Vence is encircled by a medieval wall, inside of which outdoor cafes, beautiful cathedrals, and art galleries are situated. Vence's Place du Grand Jardin hosts a fruit, vegetable, and flower market several days a week as well as an antiques market once a week. Called the "City of Art," Vence is a town of painters, sculptors, and writers and has been home to famous artists Chagall, Dufy, and Matisse. Centrally located in the French Riviera, Vence is positioned less than 20 minutes away from Nice, 30 minutes away from the beaches of Cannes and 45 minutes away from the cosmopolitan principality of Monaco. In addition, the world's "capital of perfume," Grasse, France, is a short drive away as well as numerous French wineries and gourmet, Michelin-starred restaurants.

Staff
Fit & Fly Girl's personal chef in the French Riviera, Pia, has been a celebrity chef in private villas and on yachts all over the world. Pia prepares healthy and delicious breakfasts, lunches, and dinners for our group throughout the week and can accommodate vegetarians and vegans as well as a variety of food allergies and intolerances. Our butler, JP, assists the women during meals and with anything they need during the week. He also acts as one of our drivers along with our other full-time driver, Dennis. JP and Dennis have worked as a butler and security, respectively, for A-list celebrities. All of the villas offer daily housekeeping.
Fitness Classes, Activities, and Excursions
Chiara will lead daily fitness classes, including HIIT, cardio, strength and conditioning, and a fitness program she created for women, TotalBody, which includes a mix of cardio and resistance training set to music and suitable for all fitness levels. Activities at the villa will also include a boules lesson and game taught by a local followed by a champagne tasting on the villas' grounds. Guests will enjoy a complimentary 60-minute massage at Chateau Saint-Martin Hotel and Spa.
The retreat will take place during the first few days of the Cannes Film Festival, and the women will visit Cannes for celebrity-spotting. During the retreat there will be various excursions throughout the French Riviera, including a catamaran trip along the Cote d'Azur and a make-your-own perfume workshop in Grasse. One night during the retreat, the ladies will have the opportunity to go out for an evening in Monaco, including dinner, cocktails, and a visit to the Monte Carlo Casino. There will also be several opportunities to shop boutiques and art galleries in Vence.
For a supplemental fee, we are able to arrange any additional activities you would like during your retreat, including horseback riding, tennis, French language lessons, sailing, fishing, cooking lessons, or a day at the spa.
Fit & Fly Girl French Riviera builds plenty of free time into the schedule each day to relax and sit by the pool with a book, get a massage, go shopping, take a nap, or simply hang out in the villa with the other women on the retreat.
