Tour France with a group of friends, not on a bus. Bus trips and people with banners and schedules really don’t give you a feel for a place –nor do they give you a good time and a relaxing but informative experience.
Look at the below. Tell me what you think!
Tour France: Culinary Bliss!
Our trip highlights always include culinary adventures. This trip is no exception. A spectacular tasting menu, a private luncheon, even a special cafe…whether formal or casual, it’s truly Bliss!
Foie Gras…compote….what more can we say?
Marscapone ravioli with parmesan foam make the perfect accompaniment –
Tomatoes and an incredible fresh ceviche in an almond milk…
squab, cherries, and rhubarb….
A nice finish to the day!
Tour Provence: Lavender Season
What’s your favorite color? Well, in summer, my favorite color is lavender. And, right now, it’s in full bloom…From the hills of the Luberon to the valleys, the color lavender is everywhere. It’s Bliss!
Contemplating photos….
Tour Provence: Vacation in Provence in a Day!
From the ancient ruins you can freely climb through –to photography, to hiking, to pondering n’importe quoi… or just to put out a blanket and enjoy the view…
To the village panoramas…
To the life within…
Why not open the door on a new adventure. It’s Bliss!
But first, read what others have to say…Don’t take our word for it.
After you are through, book our last room. Watch the lavender flower, and experience the fragrance when a field is cut…It permeates the air for a quarter mile around it!
July 17-22 Provence (possible early arrival for Paris too!)
or
July 28-August 4 (Mediterranean and Paris) This trip is not advertised. It’s a small private trip. contact us for details wendy@blisstravels.com
OTour France: Mediterranean Vacations in a Day!
On commence avec le déjeuner, biensur.
Start with lunch. Views, sunshine, and a collection of colors.
Lavender, newly planted by a friend to “garnish” the best table in the house! Thank you Florian and Eric for another unforgettable experience–one a group of us will experience in late July and early August.

Tour France: A Mediterranean Adventure. It’s Bliss
Summer vacations involve the beach, for sure. But, what many people don’t know is that there are stunning beaches, with world class views, and great dining –on the Mediterranean, that don’t break the bank –and still make you feel like you’re in a fairy tale land (which you are).
Hope you enjoy these photos –as we continue to Tour France.
The view from here:
looks like this:
And this…as you watch the boats go by. This is a little sailing school. Too Cute!
look carefully –there’s a castle at the mid point of the cliffs (top of the lower cliff). Staying there is quite an experience.
One room left in mid July and one in August. Contact us toute de suite to book.

Tour France: Experience Provence…like a local (menu suggestions below)
Wondering down the village road
to visit the local market –set up from the town parking area through the main square, and on several little streets. Not the biggest area market –but a very authentic and less touristy one.
Taking our picnic items to a nearby olive grove where we walk along and see the first lavender blooms.
peeking in corners at gardens
Paints quite a nice picture of the day –we think it’s Bliss
Tour France: Provence in Cherry Season…The best vacation in Provence
Life may not be a “bowl of cherries” but you sure can pick your own treats….Fast food Provence style –pick your own dessert on the way home from dinner!
These cherry trees are so full of cherries that the bows are bent nearly to the ground. This little orchard is off of a Roman road, a few steps from the center of a Medieval village we like to call “home”.
On our way back, the view was panoramic.
Today’s adventure begins with market day.
Contact us to know more about our last room in July (NEW dates: Arrive between July 13 and 16 for Bastille Day in Provence or Paris, and then spend July 18-22 in the Luberon) and our trip in October!
Tour France: Summer Colors
Provence and the Mediterranean. It’s the most colorful, tasty time of year. Vibrant is the word that best expresses the summer. Long, languid, yet energizing. Enjoy the photos below. Taking them was Bliss!
Dancing in the streets…for every holiday, summer festival and so fun to do and watch!
Clear blue, peaceful…
A favorite place to promenade and watch the street performers.
dining on the mussels, beachfront on the island
a bientôt! Hope to see you this summer. Contact us for more information
Tour France: Paris and Provence: Showers and Flowers
Painted on a wall in the Marais…early spring themes!
X marks the spot of our favorite peaceful Parisian landmark.
Outside the Tuileries and in Provence –blooms!
Capturing iris’s at the farm.
Spring gives way to summer.
And a little summer picnic to end the post!
