The coastline of the Côte d'Azur is certainly magnificent I agree; come and discover the equally fantastic hinterland with its 3 medieval villages as well as the perfumes in Grasse. I have been giving this excursion for over two years, four times a week, so I know these villages perfectly. I have a lot to say about it from my experience, I will explain to you everything you will see there and that is also what will highlight your day. A little anecdote, I met a very old man in Gourdon who was born in the house he still lives in today! I also know a great French restaurant in a lovely place in case you want to customize this tour. Each time I do this tour I feel the freedom of going out beyond the cities and again and again I appreciate the whole ecosystem, the landscapes, it is exotic and peaceful. In the perfume factory in Grasse (world capital of flowers) a specialised guide will show you their "laboratory" and the secret how to make perfume a la Francaise. It's my favorite ride!!!

Philippe was an outstanding guide and made our day exploring Provence’s medieval villages truly unforgettable. He worked with us to personalize the itinerary, ensuring we were able to visit every charming town on our wish list while still allowing time to fully experience each destination. What truly set Philippe apart was his incredible depth of knowledge. His passion for the history, culture, and architecture of the region brought each village to life, transforming a beautiful sightseeing tour into a fascinating journey through time. Along the way, he pointed out hidden gems, must-see landmarks, and special places we would have easily missed on our own. Beyond his expertise, Philippe was warm, engaging, and a pleasure to spend the day with. His thoughtful recommendations and enthusiasm made the experience both educational and incredibly enjoyable. We ended the day feeling like we had gained a much deeper appreciation for Provence and its rich history. If you're considering a tour of the region, don't miss the opportunity to explore with Philippe. He is an exceptional guide, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. You won't be disappointed, it was truly a wonderful day and an experience we will remember for years to come!!
Philippe made our tour enjoyable. He knew how to relate to Americans while taking us around the towns of the French Riviera. Great sense of humor. And he had great places to stop for a bite and a drink.
Philippe arranged a day of sightseeing for us that met every one of our goals. Wonderful scenery; beautiful and historic places; and starting and ending our tour exactly at the time requested. He is a friendly and engaging man who will not disappoint anyone who hires him. We highly recommend his services.
We had a lovely day with Phillipe. He is every bit french and an enjoyable friendly guide. Phillipe did a great job of being flexible during our time together. His van is perfect for a small group. We felt as if we spent the day with an old friend. I would highly recommend Phillipe if you need a guide in the Cote d'Azur and think he would be great with children as well.
In a word-fantastic! From the moment we met Phillipe we knew we had made the right choice. His passion for the area was so evident. He gave us the perfect amount of time to experience the areas we visited on our own, and yet spending the right amount of time to understand it through a locals eyes. We learned so much, but never felt overwhelmed. We would highly recommend Phillipe for your Provence experience.
- First stop at Saint Paul de Vence. This village dating from the Middle Ages is the most visited on the French Riviera, the temple of modern art, all the painters, sculptors, poets and also the cinema family have stayed there. - Tourettes sur loup, 17th century, a crazy charm! The craftsmen of the village have shops that go off the beaten track in alleys where each photo taken is a postcard. - We take the road to Gourdon crossing the Gorges du Loup still climbing the mountain up to 780 meters above sea level. Gourdon! Spectacular due to the view of the Wolf Valley and the ocean; this village perched on a rock looks like the cartoon "Beauty and the Beast"; magnificent stone architecture, its picturesque shops, 60 people live there. A real treat! - Let's finish at the perfumery in Grasse, the world capital of flowers, the perfect place to visit the factory with a specialized guide that I'm sure will find you interesting. - After this beautiful escapade, back home. Tour is customizable, please contact me.
