WELLNESS VOYAGES
HUMAN AND CULTURAL EXPERIENCES FOR EXPATS AND FRENCH-SPEAKING COMPANIES AROUND THE WORLD.
				A UNIQUE CONCEPT:
Wellness Voyages was born from a simple idea: to rebuild human and cultural connections where distance has sometimes faded them.
All around the world, we design wellness retreats and events for French and Francophone expatriate communities, to rekindle the bond with oneself, with others, and with the culture that unites them.  
For individuals, our Signature Retreats offer a nurturing, 100% French-speaking experience designed to address the realities of life abroad — isolation, displacement, and the search for meaning — allowing each participant to deeply reconnect with themselves and their community.
For French companies operating abroad, our Atelier France offers a unique team-building day inspired by the three pillars of French culture: gastronomy, oenology, and the art of the table.
Through engaging and convivial workshops, this experience strengthens team cohesion, fosters intercultural dialogue, and celebrates the joy of sharing an authentic moment centered around what brings people together. 
Our strength and legitimacy
They lie in the alliance of two complementary areas of expertise: the ability to organize wellness retreats and events around the world designed to foster meaningful connections — whether in a private or professional setting — and the strength of a network of French-speaking experts and coaches based in the countries where we operate, carefully selected to lead our programs and embody our values across the globe.
															Founder’s Note
Some ideas take time to mature, then one day, they reveal themselves as obvious.
Wellness Voyages is the story of an invisible thread woven between my love of travel, my passion for well-being, and the stories of those I hold dear.
I have never lived abroad myself. But I grew up surrounded by departures, reunions, and lives being reinvented far from France.
My grandparents lived in Africa for many years; my mother, pictured here in Mali, was born there. My sister and her family lived in the United States, my niece lives in Amsterdam, my cousin in Cairo, friends have settled all over the world, and even my two daughters have experienced expatriation for a few months — in Australia and New York.   
And I was there—listening. Feeling what happens when someone leaves.
What is gained, what is lost. What we seek, and what we end up missing.
Through their eyes, I saw what it truly means to be far away, and yet still long to remain yourself.  
And then, I travelled a lot. And everywhere I went, I felt how precious it is to find—even on the other side of the world—a space where you can reconnect with yourself.
A place where you can set down your inner baggage, breathe, slow down, and return to what truly matters.  
That’s where Wellness Voyages was born — from the desire to create spaces for reconnection, wherever life takes us.
Places where we speak the same language — that of the heart as much as that of words. 
Very quickly, I realized that to give true meaning to this mission, it was essential to rely on those already living locally.
The French-speaking experts and coaches based abroad have become the living soul of Wellness Voyages.
They understand the country’s realities, its cultural nuances, and the needs of the communities.
Together, we create wellness retreats and experiences that reflect the people who live them — genuine, grounded, and deeply human.   
It’s this alliance between our expertise and their local roots that gives Wellness Voyages its strength —
a collective adventure driven by the belief that, even far from home, one can still feel at home.
