I had the pleasure of attending the Provence Belle Vie Retreat hosted by Molly Carr in May 2026 and what an unforgettable week it was! The villa, unique experiences and food were only surpassed by the company of the other women and the warm spirit and generosity of Molly. Molly thought of every detail and curated an itinerary including days filled with antiquing, exploring markets in quaint villages, relaxing poolside, as well as special activities such as yoga, floral design and a cooking class. Each day showcased the beauty of the region and was topped off with the most delicious gourmet dinners while seated at a table topped with stunning linens, candlelight and some of the prettiest floral displays I have even seen. We were treated like honored guests from the moment we arrived, greeted by chilled wine, special gifts, snacks and a warm welcome. We truly felt the passion Molly has for creating a space for kindred spirits by sharing her love for the art of intentional living and all things French. Every person I met on the retreat, my fellow guests, Molly and her husband Ryan, as well as Chef Harry and his wife Emilia were such a pleasure getting acquainted with. I gained lasting friendships and was blessed with inspiration that I will carry home from our trip. I truly thank Molly for creating this unique adventure and hope to have the opportunity to attend another in the future.

From the breathtaking setting and beautifully curated excursions by Molly Carr. To the incredible meals by Chef Harry, every detail felt thoughtful,and inspiring. Sharing this experience with my daughter made it even more special. I also had the pleasure of offering bespoke restorative facial treatments for the guests during the retreat, which made the week especially meaningful for me both personally and professionally. Creating moments of relaxation and self-care in such a beautiful setting was truly a joy. So grateful to have been a part of this extraordinary retreat and to have met such a wonderful group of women along the way. Exploring beautiful Provence, and making unforgettable memories all wrapped into one magical experience!✨ Christine Davidson @ladedalesalon

I had the most incredible experience at the Provence Belle Vie retreat hosted by Molly Carr—truly a once-in-a-lifetime trip. From start to finish, every detail was thoughtfully curated, and Molly was an exceptional host who went above and beyond to create meaningful, unforgettable experiences for our group. The entire retreat felt seamless and beautifully considered. The food was absolutely exquisite, and the accommodations were perfect in every way, comfortable, elegant, and full of charm. There was not a single detail overlooked. Overall, it was a fantastic and deeply memorable experience. I would wholeheartedly recommend a Belle Vie retreat to anyone, and I would absolutely attend again in the future.

My second Belle Vie Retreat may have even surpassed my first Belle Vie Retreat, which I didn’t think was possible! It was magnifique ! The beautiful chateau, the cooking class, the village tours, and even more impressive our evening meals, each one meticulously curated down to the table linens and china and the stunning floral arrangements !! And did I mention the food? I am still dreaming of the delicious food, from the aperitifs and starters down to the incredible desserts. Chef Harry and Emilia of Haitch Table clearly outdid themselves. Thank you so much Molly and Ryan for all your hard work and attention to detail and for making everyone feel so welcome and relaxed. It was a week I will never forget

I had the most amazing experience attending this Belle Vie retreat in a beautiful Chateau in Provence, France. It was nothing short of magical. From start to finish and was flawlessly curated by an incredibly talented photographer Molly Carr. She has a true gift for creating beauty in every detail. She planned every excursion, from quaint villages to hidden vineyards. You could feel the intention behind each detail, creating an atmosphere that was both luxurious and welcoming. I give 10 out of 10 stars! And would do this trip all over again. I can’t wait to sign up for the next Belle Vie Retreat that Molly plans. Christine Davidson Oakwood, Ohio
