Hello! My name is Anaïs, and I would be delighted to share my beautiful corner of Provence with you. I was born in Apt, in the heart of the Luberon, where my love for Provence began. As a child, I spent my summers with my grandparents, who passed on to me their deep appreciation for nature, local gastronomy, and the simple joy of connecting with people. Those precious moments shaped the way I experience Provence today and inspired my passion for sharing it with others. After spending ten years traveling the world and working as a French teacher for international students, I felt the call to return to my roots. Today, I live in Avignon, where I work as an official licensed guide, creating private experiences that combine history, culture, gastronomy, and authentic local encounters. I hope you discover my tours, and do not hesitate to contact me if you have a specific itinerary in mind. All my tours can be customized upon request according to your group size or interests. Of course if you do not find the program, or the pick up place you are looking for, do not hesitate to send me an email so we can see what is possible. Backpacking and Travelling has taught me that the most memorable experiences come through genuine human connections. That's the spirit I bring to every tour. Rather than simply visiting places, I invite you to experience Provence through its people, landscapes, art, traditions, and cuisine. Every itinerary is thoughtfully tailored to your interests, discovering hidden gems, meeting local artisans, or enjoying exceptional food and wine. I also hold the WSET Level 2 in Wines, allowing me to introduce you to the fascinating wine heritage of Provence and the Rhône Valley. Whether you're a wine enthusiast or simply curious, I'll be happy to share the stories, traditions, and flavors that make this region so unique. I speak French, English, and Spanish, and I love welcoming travelers from around the world. My goal is to help you discover not only the beauty of Provence, but also its soul—with warmth, curiosity, and a true sense of adventure. I look forward to welcoming you and creating an unforgettable journey through Provence together. A bientôt in Provence.

Discover Provencal Jewish History
Overview of your Avignon tour
Join me to discover the Jewish presence in Avignon, from ancient times to the present day. Through the city’s historic neighborhoods, streets, and landmarks, we will explore how Jewish communities became an integral part of local life, culture, and history. From the earliest traces of Jewish settlement we will uncover the story of a community that lived, worked, studied, and contributed to the development of Avignon. We will explore Avignon’s unique role as a center of religious power during the time of the Papacy and understand how this influenced the lives of its Jewish inhabitants. Along the way, we will also discover the broader history of the city itself : its importance as a religious capital, its connection to the papacy, and its place within the rich cultural landscape of Provence. This walk offers a way to experience Avignon beyond its famous monuments, revealing the many layers of a city shaped by different communities, memories, and traditions.
