Bonjour ! Welcome to France. My name is Elisabeth. I am a French teacher and an official licensed guide, mother of twins that have been guiding with passion in English and Spanish for more than 15 years in France. You want to discover the joy offered by Provence's lifestyle ? Follow me. All my tours are in a safe and secure environment as I work with a private driver that focusses on the road while I am totally at your disposal to give you explanations and answer your questions. I was born in the Basque Country in the border between France and Spain. With a French mother and a Spanish father, I grew up with two cultures which explains why I have always been extremely interested in cultural differences. I graduated in foreign languages (Spanish and English) and was delighted to spend some time in Santa Barbara to teach French to American students. I then specialized in communication and media and worked in this field for many years. My passion for travelling and meeting new international people was so strong that I decided in my 30's to open a bed and breakfast in Paris and to go back to university to become a licensed tour guide in order to share with travelers from all over the world my passion for France and the "French art de vivre". As a professional guide, I always make sure my tours adapt to the style of the people I guide. I want you to live a unique experience by sharing with you my secret and favourite places in Provence. Provence has so much to offer: tasty food, wonderful monuments, incredible history, ancestral traditions and amazing creative people. . Forget about rushing, together we will enjoy the moment and make sure the tour that you're taking turns into an incredible and magical adventure. Do not hesitate to contact me if there is something special you want to discover in Provence and that is not described on my tours. I can always propose you a customized tour that responds to your special request and the size of your group. Get ready to enjoy ! Professional licensed French official tour guide (English and Spanish) issued by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism : Number 19 13 007 P Master degree in Media & Communication Bachelor in Foreign Languages (Spanish & English) I am not a driver but I can arrange for you a comfortable car with a private driver.

Overview of your Marseille tour

Join me to discover the oldest city in France : Marseille ! You will start the tour discovering the city's heart : the Vieux Port, a picturesque harbor with its traditional fishing boats and its daily morning fish market. Then we will pass trough the Opéra district, and go to the famous Cours Etiennes d'Orves, a very pleasant pedestrian area where you will find many bars, art galleries without forgetting the brand new market of artisans and producers specialized in Mediterranean gastronomy. You will keep on exploring the old town known as "le Panier": a vibrant multicultural district and an incredible historical place to wander around and admire the amazing artistic creativity of the area. You will enjoy walking in the narrow charming old streets and feel the unique vibes of the district. To finish you will admire the spectacular architecture of the MUCEM, a great museum dedicated to the Mediterranean culture and connected with a Fort.
