Well-being where French expatriates live
At Wellness Voyages, we hold a strong belief: well-being has even more impact when experienced in one’s native language.
That’s why we organize rich and unique wellness retreats, designed and led in French, all around the world — specifically created for French expatriates, and especially for French women living abroad, whether they are entrepreneurs, project leaders, or accompanying their spouse.
We travel to meet French men and women around the world, wherever they live, to bring them what they need — in their native language.
The French language as a vehicle for inner transformation
A true source of richness…
and a subtle sense of distance
Living abroad means learning to adapt. As an expatriate, you think in another language, you communicate using different codes.
It’s enriching, of course. But it can also gently distance us from what is most intimate within us: our way of feeling, thinking, and expressing ourselves — our emotions, our intuitions, our subtleties.
Reconnecting with what truly matters,
without a filter
During our retreats, we deliberately choose to work in French.
Not out of comfort, but out of conviction: for an expatriate, the mother tongue allows emotions to flow more freely.
It offers a more nuanced, more authentic space for expression.
It gives the feeling of being fully seen and welcomed — in all one’s complexity — without having to translate what sometimes cannot be translated.
What science
tells us
Neuroscience research confirms it: experiencing a transformation process in one’s native language more strongly activates the emotional areas of the brain.
The result: a deeper connection to oneself, a greater sense of inner safety, and an easier release of emotions.
Retreats designed for French expatriates
French experts, proven methods
Our retreats are led by carefully selected French or French-speaking practitioners.
Each expert brings their own unique method, human experience, and personalized guidance — with a deep sensitivity to the specific needs of French expatriates.
Formats designed with expatriates in mind
In small groups and a caring environment, each retreat offers a space for renewal designed for French expatriates and tailored to the host country: adaptation stress, search for meaning, need for recentring.
All sessions take place during the day, allowing everyone to maintain their personal and family rhythm.
A sensory reconnection to one’s roots
French brands in the service of emotion
Each retreat incorporates products from the French art of living: treatments, tastings, sensory rituals…
To awaken a memory, stir an emotion, or rekindle a sense of belonging.
An inner and cultural journey
Beyond personal development, our retreats are also a tribute to what connects us to our culture: the taste of a local terroir, a familiar scent, a texture that feels like home.
