Hello, I'm Yoann, your private tour guide in Provence. Meeting new people and sharing my love for my country is my best reward. I speak fluently in English, Spanish, Portuguese and of course French. It permits me to meet people from all over the world. You are all welcomed to Provence! You will love to stroll in the streets of Aix en Provence, Avignon, Arles, the small perched villages of the Luberon, … the main cities of Provence have a lot of history and secrets, I will be very happy to share it with you. Can you imagine that Marseille is the oldest city of France, more than 2600 years of history! I studied Art and History at the University. Since my childhood I always was curious about the history of my country and I focused my studies on the Heritage of France. You can visit some of the most trendy museums of France in Provence like the Mucem in Marseille (built with contemporary architecture and you can learn all the history of the civilization from the Mediterranean Sea). It is just one example of the numerous monuments that you can see in the South of France. I love fashion, I would be very happy to share with you all the good addresses of small boutiques owned by French designers and crafts shops. You could not visit Provence, without having a glass of rosé in one of the numerous wineries of the area. During your private tour we can visit a cellar and stop there for a wine tasting. I do my best to get you off the beaten path. Provence has a rich heritage; of course you cannot miss the musts of our region, but I will bring you to the local places, not touristy, to enjoy Provence as a «provençal». I'm very flexible and I can customize every tour according to your wishes. See you soon in Provence ! - Professional Licensed Guide - Professional Official tour guide/driver License As a licensed guide, I have no restrictions.

Overview of your Marseille tour

Join me to explore: Arles : Nowadays, among other Roman remains, we still can see the amphitheater, the theater, the roman baths, . . . Also, the medieval heritage is unique, such as the fine cloisters and portal of St. Trophime's church. As Van Gogh lived in Arles, I will bring you to the places painted by the famous artist. Les Baux de Provence is a little perched village situated in a very picturesque site, in the heart of the Alpilles. Entering in the village is a real experience, it seems that the atmosphere is the same than 4 centuries ago. Its cultural heritage is exceptionally rich, with 22 architectural treasures classified as "Historic Monuments" (including the church, chateau, town-hall, hospital, chapels, houses, doorways. ) Saint Rémy de Provence is an interesting town because of its typical architecture: an old center with quaint 17th and 18th century houses and narrow cobblestone streets immortalized by Van Gogh. I will show you the native house of Nostradamus, famous for his prophecies.

Yoann was a wonderful guide with an incredible amount of knowledge ranging from the history of Arles to Van Gogh. If you’re nervous about being a non-French speaker he did a great job of helping to translate and pointing us in the right direction. He made great suggestions on where to get local products, candies, and other products. We asked a lot of questions and he always had great responses and kept a good pace during the tour. We would highly recommend Yoann if you’re coming to Provence for the first or tenth time.

Yoann was an outstanding tour guide and adapted our tour so that we could see several beautiful towns in one day. He was located next to our ship with a very nice van . We all felt very welcomed. Don't waste time with your ship's tours as you will miss out on important sites waiting around for other passengers who are late. Book Yoann in Provence and you will hear the history and see what interests you.

Our group really enjoyed this tour. It was a lot to fit into one day but our tour guide Yohan did an awesome job. Yohan speaks excellent English and is professional and courteous. He was knowledgeable and informative about the stops on our tour. He is a safe driver and used a safe vehicle to transport our group of seven people.

A fabulous tour by Yoann geared entirely to my interest in Van Gogh's life in Provence. He did a remarkable job of fitting in a lot of locations in a very short time. He is very knowledgeable about the artist and the landscape of Provence. His English is very good to understand and he is an excellent driver. His communication before thtrip was also very useful. He is highly recommended.
