St Therese of Lisieux didn’t start her life in Lisieux. In fact, in Alencon where she was born and lived with her family, they call her St Therese of Alencon.

Their home in Alencon is where Louis and Zelie met, were married, and where the Martin family lived together before Zelie’s death in the same bed where Therese was born.

What’s a stillgrimage?

Stillgrimages are our signature short-form pilgrimages. Think staycation, but make it sacred!

We recently guided a one-day stillgrimage in New Orleans and helped our pilgrims encounter:
• deep dives into Catholic history
• stories and sites connected to multiple saints
• abundant beauty
• special moments of prayer, community, and, of course, great food

We offer fully guided stillgrimages as well as private tours and DIY itineraries for you to take on the road.

You’re closer than you think to the graces of pilgrimage. Let’s go differently! ⚓️

Lisieux. Vezelay. Lourdes. Lyon. Orleans. Chartres. Just a few of the beautiful and sacred Paris day trips you can make via train.

Trains are a budget-friendly, efficient way to maximize your trip and see much more. Plus, along the way you’ll enjoy some beautiful stations, great food and drink, and a true cultural immersion.

P.S. Did you know that European train tickets increase in price the closer to departure? Summer train trips just went live in the French transit system. Book them now for best prices and to avoid sellouts. If you want train help, we’re here for you!

Airbnb or hotel in Europe?

This choice impacts your trip far more than choosing a seat on your flight. If you’ve ever been overwhelmed by a search map full of options, here are some unexpected questions we always ask before deciding between a rental and a hotel:

• Do you like to hang out or whisper in the dark?
• Are you a breakfast person?
• Would doing laundry save you hundreds per passenger?
• How heavy are your bags?
• Can you handle narrow, steep stairs and wacky ceiling angles?
• Are you in a major city or a small village?
• Who are you traveling with?
• How many beds do you need?
• How many nights are you staying?
• Do you want pure vacation vibes, or to feel like “I live here”?
• How much help do you want or need?
