About Just Be
Just Be
Mission & Vision
At Just Be Holidays France, our mission is to offer women a rare kind of retreat — one that is beautifully agenda-free. Relax in the beautiful, French countryside with good food, great company and no fixed schedules.
We exist to create space for pause — without pressure to perform, produce or participate unless it feels right.
Our retreat is designed for women traveling alone but want some connection and local culture. Here, you can share meals with like-minded women, take quiet time when you need it, and join in art, nature or coastal adventures, only if and when you want to.
Whether you’re seeking midlife renewal, a soulful reset, or simply a break from the noise — Just Be is a space where you can return to yourself, supported but unstructured, surrounded by nature and honesty.

Venue & Amenities
Tucked away in a serene Breton village, our charming granite farmhouse—with its warm oak beams and lovingly restored by French artisans—blends timeless beauty with modern comfort. Wrapped in 2.5 acres of whispering trees, a gentle stream, and a peaceful valley, it’s a haven for quiet reflection. Just 40 minutes from the wild, untouched Brittany coast, and surrounded by forests and lakes, it invites you to wander, breathe, and simply be.
