Join author Jennifer O'Brien — creator of City Farmhouse and author of the forthcoming novel The Summer I Found You — on an eight-day journey through the sun-drenched coastal towns and charming countryside of western France, designed for women who are ready to finally put themselves first. Inspired by Jennifer's story of rediscovery and creative renewal, this intimate group tour blends slow mornings, antique markets, long lunches, and meaningful conversation with the effortless elegance of a Nancy Meyers film — all fully handled for you, from welcome dinner to farewell toast, so you can simply arrive and exhale. Eight nights in curated 4-star hotels, daily breakfast, a private coach, local guides, and Jennifer traveling alongside you the entire way.
At Lumina Literary Tours, we don’t just book trips; we design plot-driven adventures for women who spent their childhoods—and their adulthoods—finding refuge in the pages of a book. Founded by travel strategist Kate Ciullo, Lumina was born from the belief that travel should feel like stepping into the worlds that once saved us.
We specialize in immersive, story-driven group travel that balances "main character energy" with the indulgence of long dinners, coastal villages, and historic castles. Whether we are chasing the Northern Lights in a landscape straight out of a winter romantasy or sharing a private yacht through the Adriatic, our tours are crafted to feel less like a "retreat" and more like a cinematic experience shared with your found family.
