Ladies and Gentlemen, Ernest Hemingway once wrote «There are only two places in the world where it is possible to be happy: at home and in Paris». Well as much as I hate to disagree with a nobel prize, I must say that the French Riviera will make you feel at home, without the Parisian rain ! My name is Michel and I will be happy to guide during your stay on the French Riviera and maybe outside as well. I'm Certified Tour Guide and Lecturer (I can guide in historic sites and museums) with 25 years of experience in Provence and on the French Riviera. After studing history and political science at the Sorbonne in Paris, I completed my guiding license in Nice. I spent years walking every path, visiting every lost chapel, touching every stone, tasting everything, it's my pathology. I live in a region where tourism is ofen standardized, with very few genuine tours, reason why I'm happy to be able to offer you a list of tours with several unique experiences, including for first time visitors. Contact me with your wishes, your place of care and check my programs to see if you find some inspiration, I will be happy to customize a tour for you. Please note I don't do tours of Monaco and Eze, places overwhelm with mass tourism. If you're interested in going there I would suggest you to contact my colleagues who all provide excellent services there. If you have any question please contact me, I'll be happy to provide all the information and the suggestions you need. A bientôt en France! Michel National Licensed Tour Guide and Lecturer (Nice Sophia Antipolis university Nice) VTC licence and TPRP licenses : Public transportation Being Certified Tour Guide I have no restriction of any sort, I can guide you inside historic sites-monuments as well as in museums.

What is it to be French ? Unlike many countries the answer is complex and subject to lively debates. The only point on which everyone agrees is the "art of living". The French way of life is a combination of factors that are found in every French, but also in every lover of France, an mysterious obssession for food & wine, a close relationship to history, a taste for the time that passes sitting at a terrace with a book, the love of the villages and their markets, a discreet sociability, a naive attraction for art, a changing mood, a deep -very deep- nostalgia of another time. This tour will take you to some of the villages I love the most, where one can feel the "heart" of France.

This was our first of two tours with Michel. We had no set agenda for the day, so Michel recommended that we first go to the charming village of Saint Paul. We walked the streets and browsed the lovely art galleries there at a leisurely pace. Afterwards he drove us to Nice, where he had already secured a reservation for us at a wonderful restaurant where we could experience lunch like a local! We enjoyed seeing the beauty of the Riviera, and loved the Japanese Garden in Monte Carlo!
