Introducing
Luxury Without Snobbery
Luxury and pretentiousness are like gin and tonic, often found together, yet very different.

RELOCATIONS,
RETIREMENT
Côte d'Azur
September 21st - 29th 2024
​
Luxury is subjective.
True luxury is not about putting on airs or showing off.
For some people it is the acquisition of beautiful things.
For entrepreneur and mothers, it is having the opportunity to
step away from their demanding lives and have a trusted
resource plan and execute their "me" time is a luxury.
For those that are highly motivated toward achievement,
uniqueness and exclusivity are rewards for hard work.
​
For the women of The Globalux Society, luxury is part of everyday life.
They seek travel experiences that match their daily lifestyle.
​
The Côte d'Azur, synonymous with wealth and luxury. The millionaires’ playground is nestled between a breathtaking rocky coastline and the shimmering sea that nips at the waterlines filled with whitewashed yachts.
In Monaco it does not take much effort to bump into a millionaire. There are 12,000of them in less than one square mile. It is also home to a few billionaires, like Stefano Pessina, with a net worth of 11.2 billion and Lily Safra, who attained a considerable amount of her 1.3 billion through her four marriages. A woman that obliviously knows how to marry well and divorce better! Her last husband, multi-billionaire banker Edmond J. Safra, died in 2020 under mysterious circumstances.
​
St. Tropez's beaches with sparkling sands are the go-to spot for chic jet setters. It is one of the most expensive destinations in France, and most who visit are wealthy. During the spring to late fall, most yacht owners that love the Mediterranean, at some point moor their boat at the St. Tropez port.
​
Nice, the second-largest city of France and the largest on the Côte d'Azur is considered a cultural capital, with its small and winding streets lined with cafes with the nostalgic feel of French paintings and postcards. Nice really is the most dynamic city in the region.
Monte Carlo needs no introduction! Get lucky, by channeling your inner Bond Girl at Casino de Monte-Carlo, walk like royalty in the old town of Monaco atop "Le Rocher" (the Rock), the location of the Prince's Palace, official residence of the Prince and Princess of Monaco. Cannes, the home of the world-famous Cannes film festival, the biggest film festival in the world, oozes glamour and glitz with fashion boutique, fine dining restaurant, and VIP night life.

Day 3 - September 23rd: Tropez - Wine Tasting
There is just something about this place that Matisse once called it France’s “little nook of paradise." Maybe it’s the breathtaking bouganvillea-laced coastal town. Maybe it’s the immaculately stylish jet-set crowd. Maybe it’s the rhythm of the village that balance casual chic with ultimate elegance. Maybe it’s that everything about Saint Tropez seems to epitomize indulgence in the best way.
​
Today, travel to St. Topez. The vineyards in St. Tropez are unique in the fact that they border the Mediterranean sea, which gives the wine a distinctive flavor. This region is famous for its rosé wine although there are also excellent reds and whites!

Pre-Departure Style Prep
How we dress affect our perceived social status, how we
are treated by others and the ability to have access. No where is
that more apparent than on the Côte d'Azur. To get in, you must fit in!
The Riviera is glitzy, but not flashy. Knowing how to pack the right
multi-functioning capsule wardrobe, where less is more and having
polished hair and make-up is key to having a fuller experience.
We have you covered!
