Armchair Traveler

Each vacation is customized to suit your specific culinary, cultural and activity preferences.  However, some ideas for a typical week of Bliss are:

Day 1:  Afternoon arrival, relax with an aperitif or visit a winery for a private tasting. Stroll around the village and explore the sites before we have a welcome dinner overlooking a vineyard.

Day 2:  After breakfast, tour one of the lively Provencal markets where you can taste the local treats, sample wines and listen to music.
After lunch, tour the nearby Roman ruins, or visit the sites Van Gogh painted and see where he stayed. Evening meal preparation followed by dinner.

Day 3 :  After breakfast drive into the painted village of Roussillon. Walk through the Ocher formations, visit the village and its boutiques.  Lunch in a typical Provencal restaurant. Return to the hotel late afternoon to relax or participate as our Chef prepares dinner.

Day 4:   After Breakfast, tour a perched village and visit the ruins of a 12 century church of the Knight’s Templar, visit a local gallery or museum, tour a renovated Chateau or shop in the boutiques and sit in a local cafe.
Take a gourmet picnic to a picturesque spot atop a ruin, with a panoramic view of the lavender fields and valley below.
Return in time to change for dinner at a local restaurant built into a Troglodyte cave that is more than a 1000 years old.

Day 5:  After breakfast explore a local town “en fete”. Watch the running of the bulls. See the festival parades and perhaps a bull fight. Join the locals for a festive lunch. Return in the afternoon and relax at the pool or in the gardens.

Day 6:  After Breakfast, walk out of your door to find the weekly Provencal market and return for a light lunch at the hotel. Spend the afternoon hiking up to the ruins of an ancient fort or wine tasting. Join us for a farewell feast our last evening...

Day 7:  Breakfast followed by a late morning checkout.

All of our menus are preplanned according to your preferences but must also remain flexible to seasonal and regional availability.
