My name is Dorothee and I will be your host here in beautiful Nice, France. I can say that I am the type of person who is active, and curious, who enjoys new projects. Born in Paris, I studied in Nice and I am an official trilingual tour guide since 2005. I am also a photographer, reporter, videomaker and casting director. I find everything creative very interesting, the same is the case with tourist guiding, it is something that is dynamic, always interesting and never the same. I like to connect with people and create cultural interactivity, share my experiences about the diversity of our culture, history and people. I created a non-profit organization to highlight and protect our heritage, I like to combine tourism and art and listen to what others have to say. As a tourist guide, besides Nice, I also worked in Paris, Spain, Italy, and Portugal I ve been a tourist guide teacher as well and I wrote 10 travel' guides about Peru and Argentina for the web : great advices, restaurants, history and itineraries, not to miss . . . illustrated with pictures. Very useful. I consider myself as open-minded, friendly and kind person and I am looking forward to meeting you in my Nice so we can have a chat and fun together.

Overview of your Nice tour

Discover the authentic charm of the French Riviera countryside on this unique van tour through two of its most beautiful hilltop villages. Begin in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, one of the oldest medieval towns on the Côte d’Azur. Wander cobblestone streets, explore art galleries and boutiques, and enjoy breathtaking views over the hills and the Mediterranean. This iconic village inspired artists like Marc Chagall. Optional visit after lunch: the Fondation Maeght (€16/person), a major modern art site featuring works by Miró, Giacometti, and Chagall in a peaceful natural setting. Continue to Tourrettes-sur-Loup, the “City of Violets,” a quieter, authentic village with artisan shops, medieval streets, and panoramic views. Transport by van available as an option (extra cost). Please contact me in advance for availability.
