Women’s International Photography Trip:
Spring in Provence France
Dates
April 12 - 19 2026
Join Sara and an amazing group of female photographers on an unforgettable photographic adventure in one of the most beautiful places in the world, the Luberon Valley in Provence France.
Sara attended the Savannah College of Art and Design, and attending the SCAD Lacoste Campus located in the heart of Provence. She has returned in recent years for photography festivals and is so excited to make a practical and price-conscious photography excursion, and can’t wait to show you the beauty of Southern France.
Sara will be there every step of the way, providing tips and tricks for each location. You’ll walk away with some amazing photos, and hopefully some new favorite memories as well!

Where You’ll Stay
How You’ll Get There
Your flight is your own to purchase, and we will meet in Paris to stay the night in a hotel. From there, we will take the high-speed TGV train to Avignon. From there, we’ll travel via van to our villa. We will return the same way, and you have the freedom to spend more days in Paris or leave from another airport if you like!

NOTES:
While it is unlikely we will experience the famous lavender fields at this time of year, there is is still plenty to explore. Sara’s goal is to be as price-conscious as possible while still making for a beautiful trip with ample photographic opportunities away from tourist season.
This workshop will require much walking, including some uphill and stairs. However, Sara herself has a hypermobility and blood circulation condition, and is very conscious of physical limitations. If you are concerned in any way, please do not hesitate to reach out and speak with Sara directly!
Average Weather:
Weather in southern France during the spring is often very mild (this is why Sara prefers visiting during the spring!), with temperatures between 60-80 degrees fahrenheit. T-shirts, jeans, dresses and a light sweater are recommended. We may experience the infamous “Mistral Winds”, so a windbreaker is also recommended. However, Paris can be a total mystery in April! There is often rain, so be prepared. Sara recommends not bringing and umbrella, but purchasing one when you arrive if necessary.
What To Bring
DSLR or Mirrorless Camera
Laptop or Tablet
A lens or two lenses that cover wide angle to telephoto (more equipment recommendations will be made during group zoom calls)
Sturdy walking shoes and comfortable clothes for a range of temperatures
Valid Passport
What’s Not Required
A tripod
Speaking French (many speak English in Paris and Sara will help translate along the way. Sara also recommends the Google Translate app. If you’re interested in learning French, Sara recommends Babbel and watching your favorite show in French.)
Extensive photography knowledge is not required - Beginners welcome!
