- The Loire Valley: A Fairytale Setting for Your Nomadic EscapeWinding through storybook landscapes, past grand châteaux and rolling vineyards, the Loire Valley is a dream destination for history lovers, wine enthusiasts, and adventure seekers alike.
This UNESCO-listed region, known as the "Garden of France," has long been a retreat for royalty—and now, for digital nomads looking to blend work, culture, and community in an unforgettable setting!
From exploring enchanting castles along scenic bike routes to savoring world-class wines, discovering charming Amboise, paddling down the river, or sharing a meal in a troglodyte restaurant, we'll have the perfect backdrop for exploration, inspiring conversations, and a work-life balance that feels effortless. - La Belle Aventure: Our Charming Pool Country HouseAs full of character as it is spacious, our beautiful pop-up coliving/coworking home can welcome up to 10 nomads & remote workers.
Packed full of amenities and facilities to keep us comfortable, productive, and entertained - including a heated swimming-pool, jacuzzi, and multiple areas for working, cooking, dining and lounging, it's ideally laid out to enjoy great moments together, while being able to retreat to your privacy when needed.
It'll be not only the perfect place to cowork, enjoy, and unwind after exploring the area's attractions, but also an exceptional venue for our family meals and community activities! - A Curated Community & Activities ProgramThe Loire Vallée Wonderland doesn't stop with sharing beautiful accommodation - we're designing this experience to bring an amazing group of people together to share knowledge, ideas, and special moments!
We can't wait to discover the best of the region together and foster deep growth and connections through activities to learn from each other, explore, and have fun. - A Quintessentially French ExperienceThis isn’t just a retreat in France—it’s an immersion into the French art de vivre.
Led by a local French community manager and a Frencher-than-French Dutch co-host, every moment of this experience is infused with the culture, history, and flavors that make up the French lifestyle.
Expect baguette-and-cheese picnics, leisurely market strolls, and an introduction to the noble art of pétanque on our accommodation’s own court. We’ll toast to our days with Loire Valley wines, feast on regional specialties, and soak in the rich heritage of France’s Renaissance heartland.
This is your chance to live like the French—if only for ten unforgettable days. Béret not included. ;)

Time to Relax

and Enjoy
Think reading on a sunbed, a chill BBQ night, lolling in the pool, lazy picnics, sunset aperitives... and some proper downtime to unwind. Many of our activities are optional so you can take things at your own pace. And of course, our charming country house is the perfect setting to relax in style.
Great Conversation, Real Connections
Bring the right group of talented location-independent professionals together, and watch deep talks and ideas flow! Come as strangers, leave as besties - or maybe colleagues, business partners, even soulmates? We're curating every part of this experience to foster true connections and exchange between amazing people.

This is your invitation to step into a French wonderland where history, adventure, gastronomy, and remote working freedom intertwine!
Here's Why You Should Join Nomads in Wonderlands events: an Interview with the Founder | Digital Nomad World
Meet Your Loire Vallée Experience Hosts
- Salut ! I'm Camille, an "ex-French" girl turned world explorer. In 2013, I quit my life to travel the world - and I haven’t stopped since! I've lived in the UK, South Korea, Thailand, and Colombia, and have visited 60+ countries as a location-independent freelancer and entrepreneur.
I like sleeping in hammocks, riding scooters, eating all the foods, and scaring my mother trying adventure sports! I now share this journey with Bauke, with whom I bought a home base in Bansko, Bulgaria.
You can take the girl out of France, but you can't take the wine and cheese out of the French girl... ;) I can't wait to bring nomads to my home country and share my love of these and all the good things with you!Camille PoiréNomads in Wonderlands Founder - Hallo, I'm Bauke! Originally from The Netherlands, I moved to Thailand in 2015 to start my life as a digital nomad. A year later I met Camille, and we've been traveling to many countries together since, enjoying the culture, food, and people we meet all over the world.
I've worked for many years as a solopreneur in the affiliate marketing space, and am currently freelancing as a research consultant.
My interests are varied, ranging from mountain biking and scuba diving, to crypto and geopolitics. I love to discuss and debate a range of topics, and am always curious to learn new things.Bauke VreeswijkEvents Co-Host & Experience Manager

Our coliving country house, La Belle Aventure, is located a 12 minutes' drive from the historical market town of Amboise, which is well connected to Paris (and other parts of the country).
Transfers from and to Amboise on arrival and departure day are included! We will pick you up and drop you off at the train or bus station.
NOTE: We will only be able to check into our villa after 5 pm, so we recommend aiming to arrive in Amboise late afternoon.
- The easiest way to reach Amboise is by train. There are regular daily trains (up to 17 per day) departing from different stations in Paris. The journey usually takes 1.5 to 2.5 hours and costs ≃€40.

This is a less convenient option, but in case this works better for you, it's possible to take a short train to Amboise from Tours (or we may be able to come pick you up at the airport in Tours if the timing and other participants' arrival times allow).
NOTE: We will only be able to check into our villa after 5 pm, so we recommend aiming to arrive in Amboise late afternoon.
