City Farmhouse in France

You don’t need another trip that asks you to be on. You don’t need to plan, manage, or make decisions for anyone else. And you definitely don’t need to turn rest into a project.

For eight days, nothing is expected of you here. No one needs you to be productive, helpful, cheerful, or available. You get to exist exactly as you are.

This is different.

Jennifer O’Brien is the creator of City Farmhouse and the author of the forthcoming novel The Summer I Found You, a story rooted in home, creativity, and the quiet courage it takes to begin again. Her work blends French-inspired aesthetics, cozy elegance, and the kind of everyday magic that feels lifted straight from a Nancy Meyers film.

Jennifer doesn’t just write beautiful stories — she lives them.

On this tour, she’s not a distant host. She’s traveling alongside you, sharing meals, inspiration, conversations, and the places that shaped her story.

This journey is inspired by Jennifer’s upcoming novel The Summer I Found You — a story centered on rediscovery, creative renewal, and the quiet courage it takes to begin again.

Think:

• French coastal towns bathed in golden light
• Slow mornings with coffee and pastries
• Antique markets, family-run shops, and charming cafés

This experience is designed to feel held from the moment you say yes.

Morning light through linen curtains. Fresh bread still warm from the boulangerie. Conversations that linger over wine. Markets filled with flowers and antiques. Time stretching in the best way.

This isn’t about checking boxes.

It’s about living beautifully — together.

For once, your nervous system gets to stand down.

You’ve probably talked yourself out of trips like this before. Told yourself you’ll do something like this later — when things slow down, when it feels more reasonable.

But later has a way of never arriving.

You don’t need permission to take this trip. You don’t need a reason. Wanting it is enough.

Reserve your spot with a refundable $100 deposit and give yourself something beautiful to look forward to.

Spots are limited to preserve the intimacy of this experience.
