Hi, Fouad speaking, My friends know that the best place to look for me is at the bottom of the sea or the top of a mountain: I have a lifelong passion for nature and outdoor sports that brought me to the French Riviera after 12 years in Paris. I gave up my desk job there, working as a consultant for Unesco's legal affairs department, to share my sense of adventure and love of this spectacular region with visitors from around the world. I have been working as a professional tour guide since 2006 and created my own company in 2014. Familiar with all the secret trails and little-known spots in the area, I am happy to lead you off the tourist path and arrange outdoor activities for sports and adventure enthusiasts or families with children, as well as gastronomic and wine excursions. Of course, we can also visit the well-known highlights of the region, like St-Paul de Vence, Eze, St-Jean Cap Ferrat, Monaco, Menton and St-Tropez. As we emerge from the global pandemic, travelers are seeking to connect with nature and get to know places more deeply, going beyond the urban centers and crowded tourist sites. This validates the approach I have always favored, so please join me on an adventure that I will create just for you! To keep the experience personal, all my tours and private and customized. You can expect maximum comfort in my Mercedes seven-seat van. If you are a curious traveller, if you love nature, art and local gastronomy, open to the unexpected. . . we will have a lot of fun together! - Professional license for public transportation EVTC006140032 - Professional driver card - Professional car insurance - Driving licenses: Cars, bus, coastal boat, motorbike - Freediving and snorkeling licenses - Master business international law. I am not be able to guide you inside of the museums.

Immerse yourself in local art and food
Overview of your Cannes tour
Drive into the countryside behind Cannes to discover the hilltop villages whose medieval charm and unique light attracted artists such as Picasso, Chagall and Leger. These artists left their mark on the region by sharing its beauty with the world. Today you will find their work in museums, foundations, art galleries and chapels that they created, designed and decorated. You will also have a chance to discover the region's thriving contemporary art scene in local galleries. Food and art have always been intertwined in this region, and one restaurant even has a collection of original artwork by artists who, before becoming world-renowned, exchanged their sketches and paintings for meals. The area's exceptional beauty and climate have attracted some of the best chefs in France, who create their own artworks on the plate using the finest seasonal produce. I will show you what I experienced, lived and already shared with many people who loved the richness of this tour
