North of San Diego, the small town of Vista, California has been quietly attracting notables like Oprah, Michelle Obama, Natalie Portman, Julia Roberts, and Tyra Banks for decades. They come for Cal-a-Vie, an expansive 450-acre destination designed like a French village. From the charming grounds dotted with lavender fields and vineyards to the historic chapel (now a meditation center) rebuilt stone by stone from Dijon, France, the meticulously designed estate will transport you to the Provincial countryside.
