What is Insider Access & Insider Photos from Provence & Burgundy

What is "insider access"?

and why you should care!

Insider experiences are things that you can't do on your own. They are little known, out of the way experiences, or they are things not open to the general public (and arranged especial for you).

As you can see from our photos, that's what Bliss Travels is all about.

Perhaps you'd like to eat at a restaurant that isn't filled with tourists --maybe one that is only opened for you?

Or experience a custom wine tasting in a private venue?

Have a Michelin starred restaurant prepare a special tasting menu or private room? 

Visit the bell tower of a Knight's Templar church (not open to the public) with the curate?

Have a Provencal cooking class on a farm instead of a "sterile" kitchen?

Have a private chef prepare a superb picnic for a train ride to the South of France or to eat under a Roman bridge?

 

Enjoy a custom barrel tasting in a cellar with the winemaker? 

Visit a tiny little known gem of a village?

We think this makes travel special and that's why we do it. And we do it for very small groups --usually 6-8 people. Never more than 12.

Not every exclusive access experience is about "money" or big names. Though sometimes they include those sorts of destinations. These are really the sorts of things you can't "buy" with a deluxe credit card because they are not mass market  (even platinum and black cards) and they are not about commerce.   They are about time and effort and relationships.

You get them because you've got a "friend" with an "in"! So, if you want to have an authentic, hard to find cultural experience and interact with people in a way that goes beyond having them make change for you when you purchase a souvenir, then you want to experience Bliss!
