I am a French licensed guide and a wine guide. Food, wine and history are my passions. I have worked for 3 big wineries in Chateauneuf-du-Pape from 2012 until 2015 in exports departments, and this is how I was swept into the world of wine tasting and guiding. My tours include genuine contact with the region, its history, and tasting in small family run wineries. Connecting or reconnecting to the provençal way of living, culture and terroir is the keystone of all my tours. I was born in Provence in the black truffle and Grignan-les-Adhémar region, and travelled in some European countries during childhood and teenage. Don't hesitate to have a look at my tours or contact me for any excursions you might fancy in Provence. -French registered guide - card number GC1784002 -Post Graduate Diploma in English (teach English and French), Ph.D. level -WSET Wines and Spirits level 2 passed with distinction 96% -French Wine Scholar 85% -2nd-year diploma in tourism -International business degree I do not have any restrictions in regard to my guiding, I can offer a full range of experiences

I studied in Avignon for 4 years and still live close to the city. We'll walk to the most picturesque and typical narrow streets and views in Avignon only known by the locals. There shall be some walking as most old historical streets are narrow, made of cobblestone, and only accessible to pedestrians. Here most of the monuments date from the Middle-ages and were built during the reign of the different popes that lived in the Palais. You'll be going inside the Palace (many stairs). Big parts of the inner city have kept their medieval spirit so don't forget your camera!
During this tour, We will see some of the most beautiful places, such as: -Palais des Papes. -Place de l'Horloge. -from Tuesday till Sunday: Food market in the morning only The ideal start time of the tour is 9 am. other start times are also available. The itinerary is flexible, for any changes please let me know.
Tell your guide which places matter to you, skip what doesn't, and tailor the experience for your group's needs. Not finding what you want? Message your guide to build something unique.
