ASCENO Trip To Capelongue

Set against the sun-drenched countryside of Provence, ASCENO gathered an inspiring group of creative women at Beaumier’s Capelongue - the secluded hotel nestled within the region’s rustic landscape. Founder Poppy Sexton- Wainwright was joined by Sylvie Mus, Emma Harding, Lauren Joseph, Emma Rose Thatcher, India Montgomery, Hollie Bowden, Clara Diez, Jessica Burrell, Bryony Sheridan and photographer Alicia Waite, who captured the quiet beauty of the escape.

Over 48-unhurried hours, the group - spanning the worlds of art, interiors, publishing, food and drink - embraced the gentle rhythm of Provençal summer living. Days unfolded slowly beneath the sun, with afternoons spent lounging by the pool and warm evenings in effortless company.
