Monaco & Èze – The Sparkle of the Riviera

Hi! I was born and raised in Nice, immersed from an early age in the Niçoise tradition. Here, I was taught authenticity, pride in our roots, and our unique language, Niçois, which still echoes within me as a reminder of our history. Yet early on, I felt the urge to explore the world. I went to live in England, Ukraine, and New Caledonia. Those years away from my homeland allowed me to absorb different cultures, to see the world through new eyes, and to master two languages that are dear to me: English and Russian. Every encounter, every country gave me a new kind of richness, but above all, they confirmed what I already knew: nothing compares to the light and the art of living on the French Riviera. Since 2010, I have been working as a guide in this region that I know inside out, from the secret alleyways of Old Town Nice to the most unspoiled coves along the coast. For me, this job is not just work, it is a calling, an obvious choice. Sharing my boundless love for this region has become as natural as breathing. Going on a tour with me is much more than just a visit. It is leaving with a true understanding of the Niçoise spirit, that unique way of being, at once proud, warm, and understated. It is hearing local stories that few people know, tales passed down through generations or drawn from the memories of the elders. And above all, it is leaving with the same love for the French Riviera that I carry within me, because I truly believe that you cannot show someone a place without sharing your passion for it.
