Bonjour ! Welcome to France. My name is Elisabeth. I am a French teacher and an official licensed guide, mother of twins that have been guiding with passion in English and Spanish for more than 15 years in France. You want to discover the joy offered by Provence's lifestyle ? Follow me. All my tours are in a safe and secure environment as I work with a private driver that focusses on the road while I am totally at your disposal to give you explanations and answer your questions. I was born in the Basque Country in the border between France and Spain. With a French mother and a Spanish father, I grew up with two cultures which explains why I have always been extremely interested in cultural differences. I graduated in foreign languages (Spanish and English) and was delighted to spend some time in Santa Barbara to teach French to American students. I then specialized in communication and media and worked in this field for many years. My passion for travelling and meeting new international people was so strong that I decided in my 30's to open a bed and breakfast in Paris and to go back to university to become a licensed tour guide in order to share with travelers from all over the world my passion for France and the "French art de vivre". As a professional guide, I always make sure my tours adapt to the style of the people I guide. I want you to live a unique experience by sharing with you my secret and favourite places in Provence. Provence has so much to offer: tasty food, wonderful monuments, incredible history, ancestral traditions and amazing creative people. . Forget about rushing, together we will enjoy the moment and make sure the tour that you're taking turns into an incredible and magical adventure. Do not hesitate to contact me if there is something special you want to discover in Provence and that is not described on my tours. I can always propose you a customized tour that responds to your special request and the size of your group. Get ready to enjoy ! Professional licensed French official tour guide (English and Spanish) issued by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism : Number 19 13 007 P Master degree in Media & Communication Bachelor in Foreign Languages (Spanish & English) I am not a driver but I can arrange for you a comfortable car with a private driver.

Elisabeth was prompt, professional, warm, and imdormative. We appreciated her well organized tour and informative narrative. She engaged us in many different aspects of Aix culture and history. All the while being energetic and engaging.
Mollie M.United States
Elisabeth was both knowledgeable and entertaining. We asked for a tour focused on the history and architecture of Aix and that’s what we got…along with a lot of local color. All six of us enjoyed our tour with Elisabeth. Aix is absolutely charming.
Richard H.United States
Elisabeth provided us with an excellent tour of Aix-en-Provence. My wife had spent a year in Aix many years ago while studying French but now seldom gets to speak it. Elisabeth did a great job showing us the history of Aix while seamlessly blending French and English throughout the tour. She was extremely personable and engaging. I would strongly recommend Elisabeth as a guide.
Edward W.United States
Elisabeth did an excellent job of showing us the beauty and charm of Aix en Provence. She also gave us a sense of how Cézanne and his family lived in the town. Her explanations provided a great framework for understanding the other Cézanne exhibits we attended. I highly recommend Elisabeth for an Aix en Provence tour.
