Imagine three days in Paris—the cafés, the couture, the glow of the Seine at sunset—followed by an invitation into a 16th-century château, Le Logis in Cognac that opens its doors to only fourteen fortunate women.
Add in professional pickleball coaching, champagne toasts, and long conversations under the French stars, and you have a journey that is equal parts adventure and elegance.
Here’s a glimpse of what’s taking shape…
🌸 Paris in the Spring
We’ll begin with three nights in Paris, tucked into one of the city’s most charming arrondissements. Think: sidewalk cafés humming with laughter, boutique windows glowing with couture, and the Seine glimmering under the bridges of the Left Bank.
-
Private Seine river cruise at sunset
-
Shopping, sipping, and wandering at your own rhythm
-
Evenings alive with champagne toasts and Parisian sparkle
As Hemingway said: “Paris is a moveable feast.” Here, we’ll savor it together before heading into the countryside.
🏰 Le Logis | A Château Reserved for the Few
Beyond the boulevards, in the vineyards of Cognac, lies Le Logis—a 16th-century château once belonging to the House of Hennessy.
This is not a hotel. It is a private residence of heritage and refinement, opened only by invitation and reserved for just 14 appointed suites. For a few extraordinary nights, this will be our home.
-
French country breakfasts in the 450-year-old kitchen
-
Fireside salons, gardens, and starlit swims
-
A Cognac tasting drawn from the Hennessy private collection
-
A rare invitation shared by only 14 women
🎾 Play in Paradise
Set against the château’s, Le Logis’ backdrop, pickleball becomes something unforgettable.
DAY 1 | ARRIVAL & WARM-UP
Your first glimpse of Le Logis, a 450-year-old haven of rustic elegance, sets the tone. A guided welcome tour, time to settle in, and then our first chance to hit the court with the Picklestars Pros. We’ll close the day with open play and a toast to the week ahead.
DAY 2 | SKILL & SAVOR
Ease into the morning with a vineyard stroll or optional exercise before a hearty French country breakfast. Then the fun begins: a “DiVine Dinking” clinic (yes, we said divine), followed by a lively tournament to kick things off. Afternoons invite indulgence—lounging by the pool, a massage, or a local tour—before returning to the courts for match play.
DAY 3 | GAMEDAY
Fuel up with breakfast, then sharpen your shots in our “Paddle Battle” clinic. The afternoon is dedicated to open play and match play, laughter guaranteed. We’ll close with a celebratory Awards Dinner and Farewell Party in the château’s grand dining hall.
DAY 4 | DEPARTURE
One last morning walk through the vines, a lingering breakfast in the old stone kitchen, and perhaps one more casual rally before we part ways.
🍷 For the Adventurous & the Luxurious
This journey is more than sport. It’s about stepping into exclusivity, savoring both Parisian glamour and countryside serenity, and leaving with friendships, stories, and memories that linger long after the paddle is put away.
