REDEFINING

Luxury Travel

“With 36 years of experience in luxury tourism in France, Philip Haslett can open doors. That may mean an after-hours visit to the Louvre, a last-minute tour of top Burgundy vineyards, or a balloon ride over the Loire Valley (he was a commercial pilot, after all). He also has extensive contacts in Monaco.”

“One experience that made me smile at the time is the privatisation of a river for a VVIP client. They wanted to go canoeing in a popular spot in Provence, but wanted a private experience so we basically contacted every canoe supplier operating in the area and bought them out for the day so that our client and family could enjoy some alone time.”

“Philip can unlock the Palace of the Popes at night, unlock most doors in Bordeaux, helicopter you in to hike with shepherds in the Pyrenees, or ensconce you in a chic beachside villa whose guest list looks like the Oscars seating chart. From the Atlantic to the Mediterranean, he excels at trips that focus on food and wine or adventure (often a bit of both): enjoying oysters fresh from the sea, wine tasting with world-class sommeliers, canyoning in the Verdon Gorge, or surfing in Biarritz.”

Discover the Enchanted Champagne Region

When in Champagne, we can open the doors to some of the most legendary cellars. We can organize private dinners for VVIP clients, offer classes to learn more about champagne, and delve into the technical aspects for those interested. We can also arrange live cooking sessions with a chef, pairing different champagnes with each dish. In fact, when it comes to champagne, we can do almost anything! However, Champagne isn’t just about the wine. It is also home to the breathtaking Gothic Cathedral of Reims, where many French kings were coronated, and rich in war history.
