Hi! I’m Inès, a licensed guide and certified driver based in Marseille, Provence. When I’m not guiding, you might find me on a sunny terrace with a book or a friend, making music, diving in the Mediterranean, or setting off on a road trip. Before becoming a guide, I studied linguistics and literature and worked as a teacher and translator — curiosity and the need to communicate, interpret, and connect have always been at the core of who I am. Guiding came to me almost by accident, yet it quickly felt like an obvious choice. What I love most is connecting with people and shaping each day around their interests, rhythm and curiosity. My connection to Provence began in childhood, during my first trips with my mother to visit her best friend. I fell in love with its light, atmosphere, and warmth, and chose it as my home ten years ago. Today, as a licensed guide authorized to guide inside heritage monuments, I enjoy sharing both iconic highlights and quieter places, always with context, stories,s and local insight. I guide in English, French and Spanish, and offer experiences focused on culture, heritage, wine, landscapes, and local life. Tours are conducted in a comfortable, air-conditioned Mercedes van with seating for up to 8 passengers. I love guiding in a way that feels warm, thoughtful, and personal. I would be delighted to share with you the Provence I love — whether you have a few hours from a cruise ship or several days to explore more deeply. My goal is for your time here to feel natural, comfortable,e and truly memorable.

A Relaxed Private Journey into one of France’s Great Appellations
Overview of your Marseille tour
An unhurried introduction to Châteauneuf-du-Pape, one of the most prestigious wine appellations in the Rhône Valley, with powerful red wines, ancient terroirs and deep historical roots. I will help you understand what makes it so distinctive. The experience includes visits and tastings at 2 wineries chosen for the quality of their wines and the authenticity of the encounter. The appellation takes its name (“the Pope’s New Castle”) from when the Popes resided in Avignon in the 14th century and built a summer residence overlooking the vineyards. We will explore the ruins of this castle. You will enjoy free time for lunch and a relaxed stroll through the charming village. This tour is intentionally designed with a slow and relaxing pace, leaving room for conversation, landscapes and enjoyment rather than rushing from stop to stop. Optional extension: Avignon Time permitting, for guests wishing to enrich the day, the itinerary can be extended with a walk through Avignon.
