Provence + Exclusive Golf and Spa


Beautiful Provence

6 Nights | Starting at $5,650 per person

Bliss Spa & Golf in Provence

Provence, France

It is poppy and lavender season. Time for mouthwatering produce, overflowing Provençal Markets, festivals like Bastille Day, the Tour de France, lavender, bull fights, concert series, stunning views, luxury lodging, and perhaps even Mediterranean beach trips.

After twenty years of travel to France, Provence is like going home for Bliss. Every season is an adventure we want to be part of - the poppies in the spring, the summer lavender, fall foliage and the amazing grape harvest! Our extensive knowledge of the wine, the food, the people and the beautiful sites of the Luberon Region make our travelers return year after year. We provide exclusive “insider” access to stunningly colorful Provencal markets, historic sites of Roman ruins and bridges, shopping, art galleries, medieval villages, authentic French farms with world renowned produce and of course…wine!  

Wendy, Edouard and Bliss Travels will show you the real Provence, along with 5 star lodging, top golf and great spa experiences-- come experience one of the great travel adventures of your life!

Great experiences are what Bliss Travels is all about. Bliss takes you to exclusive locales for private tastings that are simply not accessible to anyone else. To top courses to play. Top spas to relax. Top insider spots to explore. Our travelers rave about the spectacular, multi-course chef meals featuring pairings with the region's most exceptional wines. Wendy Jaeger has been an insider in the finest restaurants and locales of Luberon for over 20 years, and cannot wait to share her treasured favorites with you.  

 
Loved, loved, loved our trip and every wonderful thing you taught us! We are ready for another trip!

Bliss itineraries are different

Our itineraries continue to evolve because we are constantly looking for new and unique things to see and do. We tailor our trips to the travelers attending, and select events to best fit their preferences. Providing Bliss-only access to our private venues means we sometimes have to work around personal schedules.   

What you see below is our best representation - before the trip is booked and we begin getting to know you - of what you can always expect from Bliss, and what our most popular events, menus and venues from past trips are. Every Bliss trip includes our private “Insider” excursions and events — there will be an exclusive wine-tasting, there will be multi-course chef meals and curated wine pairings, there will be excursions to must-see sites hosted by a private guide — but some of the dates and details may change. And we’ll be ready. That’s why we keep our schedules relaxed and leisurely!

 
Thanks for a wonderful trip thru Provence….We truly loved EVERYTHING!....We are still romanticizing sitting on the bench at sunset, overlooking the beautiful valley….The food (unforgettable meals), the wines (rose’s & your wine tasting), the art (Esther, Marjolene, & the various galleries), the people..., ALL the various places we would never have found on our own, AND YOU and Anthony! Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you....we now have wonderful memories.
