My name is Philippe and I used to be a software development manager. From as far as I can remember, I always loved the line of the famous Citroen Traction Avant, and so, I bought my very own in 1984. It had been built in 1952, it felt vintage and classy. With my wife, we obviously chose it to be our wedding car and it drove us to the happiest day of our life in 1989. We moved from Paris to the French Riviera, in the world's capital of perfume named Grasse where we are still living. Besides being an engineer in a tech company, in 2010 I decided to drive my car for weddings and organized tours as a 2ndjob. Time passed as my passion grew and I finally quit my first job to dedicate my life to driving. The happiness of my customers was what helped me take this decision. The Citroen Traction Avant really is an iconic car in France. My customers are always amazed as we get beacon calls, thumbs up, smiles and comments from people around. My car is very eye catching so if you want to be incognito, my services won't fit you. I do have some "ready-to-go" tours, exploring the different must-sees of the French Riviera, but I prefer to customize them to perfectly meet your expectations. What's important to understand is that I am dedicated to the slow-tourism concept. This means that hurrying you to reach a maximum of places in the minimum amount of time will never come to my mind. I am completely fond of my car and the French Riviera. I love to share it with my customers while driving so you can expect me to tell you the history of the places you visit. I can't wait to meet you and drive you around the lovely French Riviera!
