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

Discover Avignon, the city of the popes and Châteauneuf du Pape, a small village renowned for its wine. In Avignon, the major site is the huge Pope's palace, the biggest gothic palace in the world. I will tell you of the grand life under the seven French popes who built a miniature Vatican during their rule here. The second point of interest is the St Bénézet Bridge. This legendary bridge is a significant symbol of the history of Avignon, famous throughout the world due to the beloved children's song "Sous le Pont D'Avignon". Avignon welcomes a big summer festival of theatre every year. Then you will discover the village of Châteauneuf du Pape, famous for its wine. The vineyards date back from the 14th, time when the popes established in Avignon. Châteauneuf du Pape is a famous French wine Appellation. It represents the beginning of the Côte du Rhône area, known for its full bodied red wines. We can easily book a wine tasting in advance in one the numerous vineyard of the village.
