With over 35 years of experience in the luxury tourism industry, I bring a deep understanding of high-end travel and guest expectations. I hold a degree in Tourism with a specialization in Tour Operations, and I am a national licensed tour guide accredited by the French Ministry of Tourism. For the past 12 years, I’ve been leading tailor-made tours throughout the French Riviera and Provence. As an official guide-driver, I also hold all the required insurances and certifications to ensure safe, legal, and premium travel experiences. I combine in-depth local knowledge with a true sense of hospitality. I also offer concierge-style services such as restaurant reservations, hotel bookings, and personalized recommendations for a wide variety of activities. I have a naturally caring and attentive approach, always striving to anticipate my guests’ needs. Perfectionist by nature, I understand how rare and valuable leisure time is - which is why I’m committed to making every moment exceptional. I’m passionate about devoting myself to making others happy, and my greatest satisfaction comes from offering memorable experiences, discovering stunning landscapes, and the richness of French and Provençal culture. I’ve worked for many years with a discerning clientele, including corporate groups and medical professionals, as well as in the luxury events industry. I’ve also had the privilege of working alongside renowned chefs such as Paul Bocuse, a legendary figure in French gastronomy. As a former professional dancer and Pilates instructor, I have a deep appreciation for discipline and effort. I truly enjoy being around passionate people, whatever their passion may be. I fell in love with the French Riviera 20 years ago and chose to settle here, drawn by its breathtaking landscapes and the southern light so cherished by famous painters. For me, it remains a daily source of wonder and inspiration. Becoming a guide was a natural path: a desire to share the beauty of Provence and the Riviera, and to connect with people from around the world. During my private tours in a quiet and comfortable luxury electric van, everything revolves around you. I’ll adjust to your rhythm, focus on what truly interests you, and create a fully customized itinerary for you and your group. My goal? To create unforgettable memories—a day that feels exceptional, just as you deserve. I’ll treat you and your loved ones with care and attention, embracing every personal request as a welcome challenge. One of my greatest strengths is adaptability. Whether you're traveling with teenagers, young children, pets, or have mobility challenges, I’ll do everything I can to make your time in the French Riviera or Provence truly unforgettable. From must-see landmarks to hidden gems only locals know, the experience will be tailored to your pace and preferences, always with your comfort in mind. I’d also be delighted to help you explore more of Southern France’s rich heritage - from Monaco, Nice, Èze, Villefranche-sur-Mer, Saint-Paul-de-Vence, Antibes, and Saint-Tropez to the wine estates of the Var, the hilltop villages of the Maritime Alps or Luberon, Verdon Gorges, lavander fields or even the wild beauty of the Camargue...Let me take you there!

Follow in the footsteps of Mary Magdalene on this private full-day pilgrimage to Sainte-Baume, departing from Cannes in a luxury Mercedes van. After arriving in Provence, we’ll walk the sacred forest path leading to the grotto where Mary Magdalene lived her final years in solitude, prayer, and joyful penance. This peaceful, spiritual place has drawn pilgrims since the 5th century — from Saint Louis to Charles de Foucauld. Enjoy a unique moment of reflection and connection, followed by a simple yet meaningful lunch shared with the monks at the Dominican monastery. Optional stop at Saint-Maximin Basilica, home to Mary Magdalene’s relics.
We begin with a drive along the highway before enjoying a scenic route through the beautiful Provençal countryside. Our destination is La Sainte-Baume Hostellerie, nestled at the foot of the sacred mountain. On request: I can arrange a simple, traditional lunch with the monks of the Dominican monastery — a unique and peaceful experience shared with the religious community. From there, we begin the pilgrimage walk through the forest (approx. 45 minutes) following the traditional path taken by centuries of pilgrims to reach the Grotto of Mary Magdalene, where she is said to have lived in solitude and contemplation. Optional: For those seeking a deeper spiritual experience, we can continue the climb to the Saint Pilon Chapel, perched above the grotto, offering panoramic views and a moment of quiet reflection. After the visit, we descend the hill and return comfortably by car to Cannes or your accommodation.

Terminal de croisières, Cannes, France
Pick-up can be arranged in Cannes, Antibes, Nice, or within a 10-minute radius of these cities. If you could kindly provide a phone number (reachable via WhatsApp), that would be ideal for easy communication. I recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes, as there will be some walking during the tour (1:30 minimum). Also, please let me know in advance if you require a baby seat or booster
