Hello, I’m Billie, your private local guide in the South of France. I was born and raised on the French Riviera and have spent my career in tourism sharing the very best of this region with travelers from around the world. I am the manager of Azur Riviera Tourisme, working closely with local communities, guides, and institutions to develop authentic and high-quality travel experiences across the South of France. As a licensed local guide, I offer private, customized tours along the French Riviera and beyond, from famous coastal destinations to charming hilltop villages, local markets, food and wine experiences, and lesser-known spots you won’t find on your own. My tours are designed for travelers who want more than sightseeing: real stories, local insight, and a relaxed pace. Traveling with me means discovering the South of France through a local’s perspective, with clear communication, flexibility, and attention to detail — qualities especially appreciated by American travelers. Whether this is your first visit or a return trip, I tailor each tour to your interests, schedule, and travel style. I look forward to welcoming you and helping you create unforgettable memories in the South of France.
