Come get a SOUL LEVEL RESET !!!
The Italian Esther Experience is a 10-Day trip curated to elevate your Inner Beauty, Outer Beauty and How You Express Your Beauty to the World around You. 

Bonjour, belle--Welcome! 


I'm Heather — a lover of Jesus, beauty, and experiences that change you from the inside out.

A few years ago, I took a group of ladies to Europe and something in me came alive that I didn't even know could be possible. I began to dream with God in a fresh way. Several years later, I now have led women across England, France, Italy, and even coast to coast in the USA.  We've all experienced encounters with God that none of us will ever forget.

Next spring, We're off to Europe again. I'm taking a small, intentional group of women to France.

Can you imagine it with me?  Parisian mornings with café au lait and the Eiffel Tower at golden hour. Wandering the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles. Breathing in the scent of a thousand roses at the Rose Festival in Grasse. Soaking up the sun along the sparkling French Riviera. And yes — we just might slip across the border into Italy for a little la dolce vita along the way.

This isn't a tour. It isn't a conference. It's a 10-night experience curated with intention, beauty, and the deep belief that you were made for more than you've been allowing yourself to receive.

I would love for you to be one of the women on this trip.
If you are craving connection, rest, adventure, and a chance to experience France in a meaningful, Spirit-filled way — you are in exactly the right place.
"The FRENCH Esther Experience is a 10-Night adventure through Paris, Versailles, Grasse, and the French Riviera--curated personally by me. Together, we'll eat at and explore incredible places, and create special memories that will last a lifetime."

"I partner directly with trusted local tour companies as we travel to design experiences tailored just for our group. 
My team takes care of every detail--from logistics to special touches-so you can relax, explore, and 
enjoy every moment." 
-Heather Ferrante

"Adventure has a way of turning strangers into friends."

The French Esther Experience April 30 - May 10th 2027
What is The French Esther Experience ? 

The French Esther Experience is not a retreat. It's not a Bible study tour. It's not your average vacation.

It is a 10-day journey designed for women who love to travel — but don't want to do it alone. Specifically for women who love God, love beauty, and crave a deeper connection — with God, with other Kingdom-minded women, and with themselves.

This is your invitation to pause, exhale, and remember what it feels like to be fully alive — exploring one of the most breathtaking countries on earth.

From the iconic streets of Paris to the opulent grandeur of Versailles, from the rose fields and perfumeries of Grasse to the glamour of the French Riviera coast — this experience is soaked in beauty, but rooted in purpose.

And if the adventure calls us across the border to Italy? We'll answer.

What makes this Experience Different? 

This is not a packed schedule of long drawn-out meetings or a heavy teaching program.
Think of this trip as the ultimate girls' getaway — infused with faith, rest, laughter, and intentional kingdom friendships. Here's a taste of what awaits:
We'll walk the cobblestone streets of Paris with women who love God and know how to have a good time

We'll stand before the Eiffel Tower and feel the wonder of being exactly where we're supposed to be

We'll wander the golden halls of Versailles and be reminded that we serve a God who does nothing halfway

We'll breathe in thousands of roses at the legendary Rose Festival in Grasse — and visit Villa Rothschild, one of the most breathtaking estates on the Riviera

We'll gather around beautiful tables, enjoy incredible meals, laugh deeply, and cry with one another as needed

We'll worship together in gorgeous spaces and experience God in ways that only happen when you finally get still

We'll be surprised with thoughtful gifts along the way and celebrate one another well

We'll create new memories and lifelong friendships you didn't see coming
Our accommodations are hand-selected — 4 stars or above. Every detail is handled. All you have to do is show up.

What past guests are saying: 

"There are moments in life where you know God is asking you to say yes — and The Esther Experience was one of those moments for me. What once felt impossible became fully provided for. I didn't just see Italy — I experienced what it feels like to truly be free. Saying yes to this trip was one of the bravest and most life-giving things I've ever done. And without question, it was one of the greatest experiences of my life. All I had to do was show up. Heather took care of the rest."

PARIS, FRANCE

Our adventure begins in the City of Light...Paris. There is nowhere else quite like it on earth — and we are starting here. For our first nights together, we'll call a beautiful 4-5 star hotel in the heart of the city home. We'll begin with a welcome dinner to toast new friendships and the journey ahead. The next morning, we explore — the Eiffel Tower, enjoy a golden hour photoshoot,  the charming streets of the city, incredible French food, and the kind of beauty that makes you stop mid-stride and smile.

April 30 — Arrival Day & Welcome Dinner
May 1 — Explore Paris: See iconic sights, Golden hour photo shoot, etc. 

VERSAILLES, FRANCE

Where grandeur meets wonder. Just outside of Paris lies one of the most magnificent places in the world — the Palace of Versailles. We'll spend a day immersed in the opulence of the Hall of Mirrors, the manicured splendor of the royal gardens, and the breathtaking scale of a place that has to be seen to be believed. It's the kind of day that reminds you — our God is not small.

May 2 — Day Trip to the Palace of Versailles & Gardens

GRASSE & THE FRENCH RIVIERA

Roses, Royalty, and the Riviera.
Welcome to one of the most enchanting corners of France — the sun-drenched hills above the Côte d'Azur.

Grasse is the perfume capital of the world, and we are arriving during the Rose Festival — when the entire region blooms and fills with fragrance. We'll visit the legendary Villa Rothschild, stroll among thousands of roses, and experience the kind of beauty that feels simply supernatural.
Then we settle into the Riviera — glamorous, golden, and glittering. Days here are for breathing, exploring the coastline, and savoring every single moment.

May 3 — Arrive in Grasse; Rose Festival & Villa Rothschild
May 4 — French Riviera: explore the coast, rest, and soak it all in
May 5 — Riviera day: Côte d'Azur, seaside villages, and coastal beauty

THE ITALIAN BORDER, ITALY 

Because when Italy is this close — you go.
If the adventure calls us across the border into Italy for a day, we'll answer. Picture a quick escape into the Italian Riviera — colorful harbor towns, fresh pasta, and a little taste of la dolce vita — before returning to France with hearts full and stories to tell.

May 6 — Optional border adventure into Italy (details revealed on trip)

THE RIVIERA & FINAL DAYS IN FRANCE 

Slow down. Breathe. Receive.
Our final days on the Riviera are for presence — not performance. Morning walks, gorgeous meals, spontaneous moments, and the kind of unhurried rest that resets something deep inside you.

May 7 — Free day on the Riviera: rest, explore, breathe
May 8 — Intentional group time: worship, encouragement, celebration
May 9 — Final Riviera day; farewell dinner
May 10 — Departure Day

THIS SCHEDULE IS NOT OFFICIAL, JUST AN IDEA OF WHAT IS TO COME. 

THIS IS YOUR INVITATION

Adventure has a way of turning strangers into friends.
France has a way of turning ordinary days into extraordinary ones.
And the Esther Experience has a way of turning women into the fullest version of who God made them to be.

You don't have to have it all figured out.
You don't have to have a travel companion lined up.
You don't have to feel ready.
You just have to say yes.
