The Joliette team, including Kat, our Creative Director
Come for the antiques. Stay for the adventure.
For the antique lover. For the collector. For the design enthusiast. For the reseller. And for anyone who's ever dreamed of wandering the brocantes of France and discovering something truly special.
Join the Joliette team for five days in the heart of Provence, exploring the places we love most — private vendors, sprawling open-air brocantes, charming markets, and the unexpected corners where the best treasures are often found.
Whether you're looking for something beautiful for your home, adding to a collection, searching for pieces to resell, or simply love the thrill of the hunt, you are welcome here.
This isn't a sightseeing tour with a little antiquing along the way. It's an opportunity to experience Provence through the things we love most: its antiques, brocantes, food, wine, countryside, and the stories behind the treasures we discover.
You'll explore alongside the Joliette team, including our Creative Director, Kat, who will share her knowledge of French antiques, help you navigate the markets, and point out the details and pieces that catch her eye.
Over five days, we'll visit trusted private vendors, wander open-air markets, and, if timing allows, offer the option to visit an estate sale or auction house. There will be plenty of time to browse, explore, ask questions, discover something unexpected, and bring home a few treasures of your own.
And when the markets close, the experience continues. Evenings are spent together over shared dinners, with one night featuring a private in-home wine tasting. Mornings begin with a proper French breakfast spread — fresh bread, pastries, and good coffee — before we head out for another day of treasure hunting through the French countryside.
Who It's For
You don't need to be an antique expert to join us.
You don't need a shopping list.
And you certainly don't need to work in the design or antiques world.
This trip is for anyone who loves beautiful things, curious places, good food, French countryside, and the excitement of finding something you weren't expecting.
It's also a beautiful fit for a girls' trip, bachelorette getaway, birthday trip, or group of friends looking for something a little different — a shared house, good wine, beautiful countryside, and five days spent discovering the treasures of Provence together.
Come with a shopping list, come with an empty suitcase, or come simply to see what you might find. There's room for all of it.
