Specialist with the "FRENCH RIVIERA" I am a French Government licensed guide and I have an art history degree from the Louvre school in Paris. I was an art history teacher in Nice University for many years and I 'm still teaching for the "institut international de Cannes". I also used to work for the US embassy in Paris where I guided a lot of VIP visitors around France. The dimension of the French Riviera ¨figure today among the privileged destinations of the tourists of the whole world thanks to the irreproachable quality of reception which it holds for its million visitors. As a tourism professional in this region, I've committed myself to guaranteeing a high level of service, at the right price, to ensure tourists continue to come to the beautiful French Riviera, and continue to expect the highest levels of service from their guides. also; very important . . all my tours are not fixed. we can make some changes if you wish.

Fabulous tour guide! Knowledgeable, personable and accommodating! Such a pleasure to spend the day with. Took us to small villages where tour buses can not go. Visited areas we would never have been able to visit in our own. If you find yourself in the Monte Carlo area you would be remiss if you didn’t tour with Jacques!! He is a great tour guide.

Jacques was an amazing guide. An incredibly qualified background and a head full of history, fun facts, anecdotes and more. We spent a marvelous day exploring St Paul de Vence, Turrette du Loup, and Gourdon. Jacques has an interesting family history which he shared with us and a lot of interactions with celebrated clients. All in all, a very wonderful day

What a delight Jacques was. Enthusiastic, incredibly knowledgeable, widely traveled and experienced, Jacques was effective bringing our environment to life with all sorts of interesting facts and perspectives. Every moment of our day was engaging and insightful. One of the best tours we've ever had.

Jaques made our day incredible. It rained but he still managed to make it one of our most memorable. We went to 2 villages and had a lovely typical French cuisine lunch at a country restaurant with a stunning view. Jaques stories were so entertaining and his knowledge of archeology and history made the day so interesting and very funny. Thanks for an awesome day of laughs!
